When it comes to choosing a wedding venue, most couples opt for the traditional locations such as a church, a beautiful outdoor setting, or a hotel. These venues are usually associated with positive and peaceful feelings. However, one couple from California had a very different idea for their special day, which left their guests feeling scared and uneasy.
Norma Nino, 27, and Axel Nino, 29, decided to tie the knot at a funeral home. The bride wore a black dress, which was a stark contrast to the usual white wedding dress.
The couple were avid fans of Halloween and wanted their wedding to have a gothic theme. When they shared this idea with family and friends, they faced a lot of opposition and were told to reconsider. However, they were determined to have their dream wedding.
The wedding took place in October, around Halloween, and the venue was decorated with pumpkins, coffins, and other spooky elements. The bride was excited to share that the funeral home was run by a woman, and she had worked there for many years. Halloween was her favorite holiday, and she loved the gothic and grunge styles, so it was the perfect choice for her.
The bride’s family were initially against the idea of having a wedding at a funeral home, but in the end, they agreed to go along with the couple’s wishes. Even the wedding car was a hearse.
The wedding vows were exchanged in the crematorium, and the reception was held outside, with a Halloween-themed decor of black and red colors, pumpkins, and hanging candles.
The bride wore a black dress with black lace and a veil that covered her face. To add to the spooky atmosphere, the couple requested that the guests dress in 1930s attire.
Many guests were initially apprehensive about attending such an unconventional wedding, and some even felt scared and uncomfortable. They had never been to a wedding as eerie and gothic as this one.
Norma shared that Axel had his doubts initially, but a few months before the wedding, he decided to indulge her and help her plan the wedding of her dreams. On the day of the wedding, he saw how happy she was and knew he had made the right decision.
Despite the initial opposition, the couple had a wonderful and memorable wedding day. Norma encourages other couples who are considering a Halloween-themed wedding to be brave and follow their hearts. She believes that it’s your special day, and your opinion is what matters the most. Axel is the love of her life, and she feels lucky to be able to experience married life with him.
