Joey & Wade’s crowdsourced zombie wedding

Get your candy out because it’s Halloween Week! We’ve got zombies, ghosts, and gore in our weddings. This time around it’s a couple who met at a Zombie Walk, so the theme was inevitable. Zombies, natch, but also an Elvis minister and a unicorn ring bearer! Plus, the officiant started the ceremony with “Brains. Brains brains brains brains brains.” A total must-read.

Curiouser and curiouser: it’s an Alice in Wonderland wedding

Nicole and Mike had an Alice in Wonderland-themed wedding complete with flower girl and ring bearer costumes, mushroom and teacup centerpieces, and the bride’s handmade blue dress (complete with lacy pantaloons!). Mike channeled his inner Mad Hatter too. The wedding was held at Darby House in Galloway, OH and was the perfect outdoor backdrop to this theme.
