Mr. & Mrs. Scary10 years ago today some of the strangest things happened...
A girl dressed up as Pocahontas came to the bridal suite and I thought she was going to sing...but she was there to do my makeup.
Drag queens dressed my dad in earrings and a feather boa while they waited for the stylists to finish with my bridal party.
A woman dressed as a bride showed me around the ballroom so I could see the tables all set up.
ScaryMom and "other" Halloween brideMy new husband twirled me around the dance floor like a pro and we nailed the dip at the end.
Dancing with the starsI did my best Tina moves on stage with the band when they sang "Proud Mary".
My husband got up and danced with the band when they played "The Way You Do the Things You Do" - Jerry Garcia style.
Masks of all kinds appeared around 11:00pm and I think people actually got up to do the Monster Mash.
A Jr. MonsterI watched my dad do his signature dance move, "the mojo" one too many times.
Oh no, here comes the Mojo!A life-size cut-out of Austin Powers greeted people at the morning-after brunch, "Hello Baby!"
For me, it was the greatest weekend of my life. We spent too much money on it, but we have memories and stories to last a lifetime. People are still talking....
Happy Anniversary to us Mr. Scary! I love you.
Mrs. ScaryMom
This post is dedicated to the only other man in my life, my Dad. He always loved a good party and lived his too-short life to the fullest. I miss him every day.

Crying...I miss your dad too! That was a fantastic post...and so bold that you got married on Halloween!!!
We almost did! We thought our families might not take it so well. Looks like you guys had fun. Love this post.
Oh Neen!
This post made me both laugh and cry at the same time. Laughing at Dad's mojo moves, crying at your tribute to him. This was just beautiful.
Happy anniversary! I hope you guys have a wonderful time. You deserve it.
Jeeps
When I saw the title, I thought this would be another gimmicky wedding - like the couple that wore Munster Family attire.
Instead, this is so sweet and sad simultaneously. What a beautiful memory!
What a wonderful story. Enjoy the day and thanks for sharing with us. :)
What a beautiful story. It sounds like you have amazing memories of your wedding and your dad.
Ooohhh.... this post gave me the tinglies all over. Happy Anniversary!
Nice story!
Beautiful! Happy anniversary.
Happy Anniversary Neen! That was beautiful and boy do I remember you dad doing the mojo! I remember him showing me the full video of the wedding and there was a lot of comical dancing - where is that tape? I remember it like it was yesterday...
Great post, and I love the pictures!
What great anniversary options!! Love the post.
This is such a great post. What a memorable wedding. Probably not what little girls imagine, but even better because of those memories. Thanks for linking to this post and playing along today.
Sounds like a wonderful day and wonderful memories
I'm over from Debbie's linky. I think a Halloween wedding is a great idea. My brother & SIL did the same thing - and that was the most fun I've ever had at any wedding.
What a memorable wacky-fun wedding, to say the least! Wish I coulda been there!
Neener,
You are making me cry. A great tribute to the men in your life! Can't believe it has been TEN years! It was one fantastic blurrrrrrrrr and Halloween made extra special! I remember everyone dancing with masks on as the evening progressed! It was great to see these pictures again. By the way, a decade later, you still look stunning in that dress!
xo,
Holly
Too funny! I got married on Halloween too :)
