When I got married, I most remember how much fun
it was. My husband and I had been engaged forever
and I was starting to think we'd never actually
tie the knot. It wasn't cold feet - it was a
difference of religious background. It wasn't
that we couldn't agree on which church to get
married in, but it was that our families couldn't
agree. Then in the late summer of 2002, a friend
of ours got married and the manner in which he
got married solved our problems. His fried was
ordained through the Universal Life Church,
making him legally able to marry couples who
wished to be married.

At the end of August, we decided to get married
on Halloween, just two months away! We attempted
to contact a few local halls to rent a space to
have the ceremony, but as you can imagine,
everything was already booked for that date. We
ended up having the ceremony in the living room
of our apartment. We had never wanted to make a
huge deal out of our wedding, with a grand,
traditional ceremony. Instead, we invited family
and friends to our Halloween Costume
Ball/Wedding. As the bride, I wore beautiful
white angel wings and a white Princess-style
gown. My groom wore bat wings with his outfit. We
encouraged our guests to dress up, and they had
fun deciding on what to wear to our wedding. Our
friend/minister even dressed in costume, as
Elvis!

We wrote our vows together just a few minutes
before the ceremony, which we both felt was very
romantic, as we were caught up in the spirit and
excitement of our special day. The most
difficult part of the day proved to be fitting
all of our family and friends into one small
room! We didn't need to hire a band, as we used
our own collection of music to entertain
everyone. We didn't need a caterer, either, for
the very informal reception. Our day was special
and memorable without months and months of
planning. By taking the focus off of extensive
planning and expensive frills, we focused more on
what the day meant to us.

Not to say that having an extravagant,
traditional wedding doesn't have its merits, but
our Halloween wedding was just perfect for
us. The most important thing for us was to make
our special day fun for everyone involved,
including us. It was not a particularly stressful
event for us and we did everything our own way.
It was absolutely a memorable event for everyone
who was there, and I know we'll all remember it
fondly.
