vivien | Halloween Costume Countdown

True story - early on in our wedding planning, I was sure Mr. Viv and I would have a Halloween wedding in the church-turned-children's-theater where we met. We were engaged about four years, so there was some time for planning. I wanted to have a Celtic theme with everyone dressed in period Dark Ages garb. I drew costume sketches, did research, and then decided that, wow, that was going to be a lot of work. And when we looked at when we actually wanted to get hitched, the dates weren't workable. We got married on St. Patrick's Day of our last year of college, since it was during spring break instead.

But I still love the idea of Halloween weddings.

So do several couples at Offbeat Bride, which is a site I kinda secretly love to read, since even though my wedding wasn't a Halloween extravaganza, it was still pretty offbeat.

I love this wedding party. LOVE. The bride gets her pretty dress and her witches, too. SWEET.
