Have you ever been to an alternative gothic wedding? In many states it is said to be a thing of taboo.
In any event, unless you live the lifestyle, or have been exposed to it in life before, you probably are wondering what it is that you should expect.
Allow me to elaborate more upon the subject, so that you will have a clearer mental picture of what exactly an alternative Goth wedding is like.
I have two friends that happen to be very near and dear to my heart which live the gothic lifestyle.
After their first introduction to one another, it seems as though they were almost inseparable.
Next thing we all know, they are engaged to be wed.
Now being neither eccentric as they are, not just any style wedding would suffice nor suite their tastes.
In fact not just any type of wedding favors would suite them either.
My friends went all out of their way to find the perfect unique wedding favors for their "unholy union", as they so dubbed it.
These friends of mine, as I have said before, are considered by many to be extremely eccentric.
Their all time favorite movies were those produced and directed by none other then Tim Burton, and their favorite character of all time was Jack from The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Can you guess what their wedding décor looked like? That's right, they went and had custom favors and décor made.
Everything was custom made just for them.
Even their cake was in the shape of Halloween town, with the topper having Jack as the groom and the female character from Tim Burtons Corpse Bride representing the bride.
Now as I have said before, generally people would not choose to have their scenery at their wedding this eccentric, but hey it was their big day so I say whatever works for them, works for me.
The bride wore an old tattered dress which was custom made to look as though it were made in the Victorian times, and underneath it she wore some very brightly colored stockings.
The groom had a suite made to resemble that of none other then the character Jacks suite in the movie.
Despite the décor, their wedding was beautiful.
In the reception hall hundreds of people gathered to congratulate the happy couple on their "unholy" union.
Again the décor here was not something one usually sees at a reception.
They had candles lit which were in holders made out of pumpkins and carved out to looked like Jack, a cake made that looked like a replica of Halloween Town, and music straight from the movie.
Overall in my personal opinion, this was one wedding which was hauntingly beautiful to say the least.
One thing is for sure, it was defiantly a once in a lifetime experience.
These friends took the time to prestigiously map out every single detail of their wedding, and seemed as though they went over it with a fine toothed comb and a huge magnifying glass to ensure everything was perfect.
It was surely an event which will not easily be forgotten, and they even had little ragdolls made of themselves to give to the guests to remind them of the occasion.
Overall I had a blast, and I still to this day can not understand why some people thing alternative weddings are taboo.
