Personally, I don’t know why anyone would want to go through all of the expense and hassle of a big public wedding ceremony, but that’s just me. I don’t get NASCAR or golf, either, and apparently people dig those spectator sports, too. But those holding the wedding should keep in mind that weddings are a spectator sport (even if they are not regularly shown on ESPN). Therefore, it should be as less stressful for their spectators as possible — which, in turn, makes the Big Day not so big on stress.
You could have a low-stress, high-fun Big Day by deciding to have a Zombie Wedding, no matter what your religious inclination. Keep in mind that if you can’t get a legal zombie wedding done (for whatever reason), then you need to do a civil ceremony to make it legal, and then the Zombie Wedding can be just for kicks.
Formal Dress Not Required
One advantage of choosing a Zombie Wedding is you don’t have to waste a lot of money on clothes you’re only going to wear once and then stick in a closet for the rest of your life. Get some old dresses and suits and rip the crap out of them (if they’re not damaged enough). Recycle some really old formal outfits for sale in garage or car boot sales or modify old Halloween costumes.
You don’t have to have things match (or be in one piece) with Zombie Weddings. That means your wedding party can wear pretty much whatever they want, which is a lot of stress and money saved right there. You might want to let them know what kind of wedding you’re having, unless you’re having your wedding on April 1.
Being Healthy Not Required
Recently, there was a news story about the Fishers, a couple from Arizona who had to have their wedding in a hospital because the bride suddenly came down with severe migraines. You could have your wedding with a migraine when you have a Zombie Wedding. Wearing dark sunglasses, lurching around, moaning and vomiting would all be considered normal and appropriate behaviors. Right after the ceremony, you could disappear into the cobwebs and no one would ever realize that anything was wrong.
The point is, sometimes we try to do things perfectly. We have this idea in our heads that a perfect relationship or a perfect wedding exists. It doesn’t. If you want to celebrate your love (or announce to the world that you are off the dating market) then have fun with it and make it as imperfect as you can. This not only thumbs your nose at convention, but at the notion of taking yourself too seriously.

Write a Comment»Hi, I’m new visitor. Reading about zombie wedding reminds me to haloween party. Is this kind of party really exist?…I think it’s a bit weird if couples want to celebrate their wedding this way. There so many other thing for having fun such as boungue jump wedding, or dive wedding…I know these are not new things, but at least these have sweet side and not to horor. That’s just my opinion… Different person different taste…Somebody might like zombie weding.

Thanks for your kind words, Denise. I just write some of the blog posts, though. The guy who puts the blog together and keeps it going is John. And yes, Erika, there are real weddings with zombie themes in Europe and America. Unitarian ministers are usually asked to perform the cermony. It does combine a wedding and a Halloween party, but it doesn’t have to be held on Halloween.
