Here comes the bride!

After two funerals, a wedding?

(please excuse the low-res facebook photo)

Katie and Ian wanted a gorgeous November wedding, and of the weekends in November, the best option for them was the 1st. This meant that they had inadvertently scheduled their rehearsal for Halloween evening. What choice had they but to declare it a costume party? Their bridal party included a naughty lady cop (her jailbird hubby was in attendance), a massive demon with dreadlocks, and even me, standing in, dressed as a hippie. The bride and groom, however, opted for a classic: the undead. So in the half hour break between reception decorating time and rehearsal time, they donned their thrift shop dress and tux, and I applied a quick coat of sunken flesh-themed makeup. I'm not sure what the chapel coordinator had expected, but that sure wasn't it.

The next day, they chiseled off their makeup, and made a striking couple for a somewhat more lively wedding.
