Friday the 13th was these horror fans day of choice to tie the knot! On September 13th, 2019 this couple brought love and happiness to a day typically associated with bad luck and scares. May your marriage be filled with lots of love and horror (but only in the movies).
The Proposal: We were on our annual anniversary trip to Seaside, OR for our 4th anniversary. We always go crabbing when we are there since it’s my husband’s favorite thing! While crabbing he was saving back some crabs and I was taking photos on the opposite side of him. I turned around to him holding out a little crab holding onto my ring. He proposed and was mortified to hand me the crab thinking I’d toss it overboard!
The Big Day: We are huge horror fans. So what better day to get married on than Friday the 13th under a full harvest moon! I can honestly say I have never met another person who has had a horror wedding. We had a horror photo booth that had a mannequin dressed up as Jason Vorhees, spooky center pieces, our whole bridal party drank from skull glasses and our cake was a creepy beautiful masterpiece!
What was your favorite part of your wedding?: My favorite memory has to be my officiant asking me if it would be okay for us to surprise my husband with me walking down the aisle with a huge red balloon (he is obsessed with IT). My husband had NO IDEA and the balloon was hidden for me to grab as I walked down the isle. His reaction was priceless. We tied it to our alter so it was right between us while we got married.
Special Memories: The whole day was incredibly special, I cannot pick just one moment!
What advice would you give to future brides?: My biggest advice is to soak up every minute. Don’t worry about everybody else’s options and wants. Do what is best for you and your soon-to-be spouse! The day is meant to be about you, so do what makes you happy!
