Gothic Wedding
 

(i think this is the right place to post this and i searched and didn't see anything else on the topic)

I need help. Next Halloween, my fiance and I are having a wedding. I am looking for a small old gothic church in Cincinnati, Ohio to have the ceremony. We already have the gothic entertainment and reception hall (including a haunted house). But we need like EVERYTHING else. Including the church.

We are going to do the whole gothic ceremony.
Gothic Wedding Ceremony

I found a beautiful gown . This gown will be trimmed in black. He will be wearing a leather tux with tails. The rest of the wedding party is going to be wine colored and the flowers will be black magic roses .

I still need help finding a cake, reception favors ideas, who the heck would be able to marry us and where are we going to have the ceremony...

Any and all ideas would be appreciated if you would just take a minute to help me look for these things.

Thanx guys.

For cakes, why not try two united gravestones, saying something like, "United through life and death." ...or something of the like. Very easy, very spooky. If you're looking for a three-tiered traditional wedding cake, having a local baker make the cake with black (or gray, or red) icing is not difficult. There are spooky wedding cake toppers, like faeries and "Gothic bats" and "Gothic crows" out there. Google it all to hell. :-)

Reception favor ideas? Why not try looking for Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) type gadgets? Usually, if they are bought in bulk, they are pretty cheap, and go away from the Halloween theme, and though not completely unique, they will be fun.

As for who's going to marry you... you can easily have a friend do it, because - thanks to the internet! - anyone can become an ordained minister, ala http://www.ulc.org/ !!! Just make sure you follow those little rules on that ceremony site you already found. ;-)

As for the wedding site, if you're going to have a friend marry you, I suggest having an outdoor wedding, whether in a graveyard, or the backyard of a close friend/relative's house. As for the gloomy churches, that's out of my grasp.

Hope your wedding and your love last an eternity, toots.

thanx for your replies =) VERY much appreciated...
i'm going ahead and posting the links to those things here since the hyperlink thingy apparently isn't working

sorry those didn't work for you before =/

Wow...I really love that gown...a most excellent choice I must say

I agree

Good choice of roses!

i'm glad you guys like what i've chosen so far. i STILL have had no luck in finding the venue for the wedding ceremony itself. i really want an old small gothic church. i'm just having no luck in finding one. i'd go with the cemetary idea, but none of my family would show up. they would all think it was some kind of weird joke or something. so that's out of the question.
if you guys come across anything at all in cincinnati, ohio, please please let me know. thanx!!

I went to a medieval themed wedding once. I drank way too much and ate way too much, it was a blast.

Great choice for a gown. Yosa does exquisite work.

As far as location... does it have to be a church? You may have trouble finding one that will lend its facilities to a non-member. Could you do the ceremony and reception at the same location perhaps? You could also look into historic homes, garden clubs, or even museums.

I want to get married in Ireland. I don't know where exactly though but on a cliff, something similar to this. At night though.

I could see some monkey flinging poo. That would be so funny.

Oh yes, most romantic thing ever. Groom to be has monkey dung on his head.

Poor white hat hahahah the poor hat.

If I were to get married in a zoo I would have it done away from primates and any tall herbivores *Apparently roses and stuff taste real good*

I'd have a wedding prolly out in the forest.... *Pine and what not*, in a small clearing, only people would be me, the bride, the priest/justice of the peace*or is it Piece?:P* and maybe a few friends. No family. No moms or dads, brothers or sisters. Friends are even iffy.

I doubt my GF would go for the no family thing..... but Oh well.... my wedding fantasy. *Cradles Idea*

Oh! That would be fun to go to your wedding. ^^ And I can't wait til I get married although I still have a few years left.

I am in love with that gown.

Wow, those are the same roses I want at my wedding, if I have one... my bridesmaids' dresses will be the same colour as the roses.

Now all I need is the man. Le sigh. It looks like your wedding will be beautiful, though!

X!X! I wanna go to your wedding when you get married. :D
