Now, most people do things in their own special way but in order. We're so offbeat we skipped the order. I really don't care how we do it, I just want to get married. So we are getting married at the courthouse...HOWEVER. I made the mistake of taking days off before setting up our appointment. We're having our honeymoon for a day on 10-19-12, the reception (which will be a halloween party) 10-20-12 and the wedding at the courthouse 10-31-12. This date holds a special place in my heart, not only because it's my favorite holiday, but also because my stepfather who raised me as his own, passed away on that day. I'm glad to do things offbeat. We're having the spooky reception outside with games, and candy and costumes, etc. But in having the wedding on 10-31-12 with no reception, it gives us happiness on a day for grieving. Are there any other offbeat brides or weddings in the area?
