Jonathan and Maria - Another Crazy Halloween Wedding

[MrsAlmostK]

I've been wanting to do this for awhile, but I've just now found the time.

Jonathan and I have been friends for over ten years. We met in a chatroom in 1997, when I was 21 and he was 17. There isn't much to say about our first contact, because I was busy with my then-boyfriend and he was still in school. Basically, we hung out in a chatroom with a large group of friends (we're all still friends, believe it or not!), and our relationship wasn't more than "aolers"

Fast forward to 1999. I had just had my first daughter, and was married. Jonathan had just graduated from High School, and we were still "just aolers" along with the rest of our friends. We had started talking to each other randomly, and realized a few things we had in common. We met in person one night, when everyone finally persuaded me to join them for late-night breakfast at a casino diner. I hadn't seen some of them for over a year, and sort of hung back, searching for a familiar face. Jonathan, (who is normally very shy), introduced himself to me, and introduced me to the rest of the group. I was impressed by his manners and easy-going personality. I liked him instantly. I even suggested to my younger sister, (who also chatted in the same room), that he was a great catch. She laughed and jokingly said "YOU should date him, if he's so great!" Of course, I had no intention of dating him. I was married with a family and he was much too young.

We continued to chat here and there, and our lives did their own thing for a few more years.

In 2003, my first marriage had fallen apart. My ex and I had separated, and he decided to join the military, leaving our daughter and me in the states. It was a hard time, and I tried to keep myself busy working, hanging out with positive friends and raising my daughter.

Eventually, I started hanging out in person with my chat buddies. We had known each other for quite awhile, and it seemed natural for Jon and I to hang out with each other at various parties and meetups. Before we knew it, we were showing up at those parties together, and it seemed like everyone else knew what we pretended not to know. Jon and I had found a perfect match in each other.

We could spend hours talking about everything, and not notice the time. We could just walk around and everything seemed new and bright, as long as we were together. I knew I was falling hard for him, and he confessed that he was falling hard for me. All of our friends could see it on our faces, and we officially started dating.


During the Holiday Season of 2005/2006, we were both extremely busy. He was working a zillion hours of over-time, trying to get the network set up for a new casino out here (He's a Network Engineer, and it can be very time-consuming), and I was a retail manager at a specialty shop. The Christmas Season was incredibly busy, and I practically lived at my store. Needless to say, we grew a apart. I even considered breaking up with him, because we could never see each other, and it seemed like our magic was gone. When we did hang out, we were too tired to do anything but watch T.V. and grab a quick bite. We were short-tempered and losing focus.

And then I got pregnant.

Now I know everyone says that a baby is the worst way to keep a relationship, and I agree. However, I was great at taking my birth control, and never expected to get pregnant. My doctor thinks the medication I was taking for my allergies contributed to my pregnancy, along with a dose of antibiotics for a bronchial infection that year. Neither of us really cared. We were suddenly so happy!

Knowing that we had a baby coming was enough to revive our relationship, and remind us what we had in each other. Our daughter was born in September of 2006.


His proposal was anything but typical and he had rehearsed a bended knee, with our girls watching. We went out as a family on Valentine's Day, 2007. I had no idea he had just purchased a beautiful engagement ring, and that he couldn't wait to pop the question. He was so nervous, he blurted out the question in the parking lot of the restaurant we were at. I was so happy, I threw my arms around him and answered an emphatic: YES!!!

I will never forget the hopeful and humbled look in his eyes.

"I've wanted to marry you since I knew I loved you. Will you marry me?"

It was perfect in it's imperfection.

We decided on a Halloween Wedding before he had even proposed, although we sort of joked about it. When it came time to decide, the idea seemed like so much fun and different than what our friends were doing. We set a date, and then told our families.

Everyone sort of chuckles and says "OK!" but they all say it seems like a lot of fun. And that's exactly what we want. We want a good time, with good memories, where our friends and family can really enjoy themselves.

We're less than six months away, and we've got most of it planned. We plan on having our guests in costume, and we've already planned our attire. Yes, I am getting married in black...and purple. Our bridal party will be dressed up as well, and we plan on rocking the night away to the Monster Mash and Everyday is Halloween.


When I can post pictures and links, I'll update this journal with our ideas. Until then...Hello, everyone, and congratulations!

[Kfancii]

What a great story! Sounds like your wedding is going to be lots of fun! Can't wait to see the details and photos.

[MrsAlmostK]

Thank you! I need to keep posting to be able to post pictures!!

[Qtlilone22]

Thats quite a story and a pretty awesome that u guys are getting married. I love the halloween idea. I can't wait to see pictures. Keep us informed :)

[LoLo62808]

I have 2 black cats, so I am in love with this Halloween theme!

[Nekochanpurr]

Aww, i love your story!! *^^* I hope we hear more from you, welcome to OW!

[CelticAngel]

Love you guys' story. I love the idea of a Halloween wedding, if my little boy's birthday wasn't in October we would have considered. I can't wait to see pic and here more details.

[MrsAlmostK]

I've been working so much lately, that I haven't had any time to continue my wedding planning. I'm so behind!

I didn't work today, however, but I didn't get much accomplished. I feel rather frustrated, but I also feel like I'm coming down with something.

We settled on the exact number of people to invite, finally. It has been sort of a struggle, because we have so many friends, and hate the thought of people being hurt for not being invited. Anyone know how to deal with this one? I don't want to snub anyone, and unfortunately, some of my girlfriends are really dramatic. :X I almost want to pull names out of hat and blame fate. Just kidding...sort of.

I found out this morning that our Save The Date cards were mis-printed and delayed. !!! I didn't even get a reason, until I called the company. I just got a quick email that there was a slight error and that they would be reprinted and sent out. After complaining a little, they upgraded my shipping to an overnight shipment, and as soon as they're printed, I'll get them the next day. I really wanted them to be out as soon as possible, because it took us forever to order them, but I suppose there's nothing I can do.

I found a postcard company that will print out 100 glossy postcards for ten dollars. The price beat out any of the more expensive Save The Date companies I've seen, and I was able to customize them for our Halloween Theme. No one else offers anything like that, and I didn't really want to spend that kind of money on something I wasn't completely sold on. They look like this: http://forums.onewed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2478&stc=1&d=1210046091

I really can't wait to be able to post pictures, but that will have to do!

I've also been playing phone tag with a possible baker, but Jon isn't too thrilled with the options she's given us. She refuses to work in fondant, (even marshmallow fondant), and our cake ideas wouldn't look right with just buttercream. I think I'm going to go check out a few other bakeries in town and get some prices.


*sigh* I'm in the middle of preparing for yet, another baby shower this weekend, Mother's Day, and Jonathan's graduation. This month is going to be insane, but I'm happy. Jon just found out that his job is pretty much secure for at least the next two years. Not that he was that worried, but some of his friends have been too close to the chopping block lately and it's not a nice feeling. (The IT sector is VERY small out here)

We've also been house hunting because the market is VERY low and we can probably get into something closer to what we want, including some nice upgrades.

The future looks pretty bright.. :)

[MrsAlmostK]

I suppose I need to do a little catching up:

Our Venue:
After looking at a few places, (and attending weddings at a few other places), we knew we needed something that was apart from the norm. I previously worked as a wedding coordinator for a group of chapels in town, and I knew what I wanted to avoid. Even though we aren't having a "normal" wedding, I wouldn't have chosen certain places, anyway. So where to have our fabulous, creative, Halloween Wedding???

http://www.avictorias.com


Victoria's Wedding Chapel was a huge competitor for one of the chapels I worked for. I had never been there, but I had seen the website and the pictures. Knowing what I knew of the business out here, I felt it was overpriced and overrated.

I was so wrong!

They're probably the BEST price for what they offer, and compared to some of the more expensive venues in town, Victoria's is the place to go.

They offer all sorts of receptions, from cocktail to full service. They even offer ice sculptures! They take care of the flowers, photography, videography and editing service, the cake, alcohol and DJ services. Really, if you don't want to, you don't have to hire a single vendor outside of them, and you would still have a beautiful wedding!

Recently, we decided we wanted something less traditional, especially with our type of wedding, and decided on an outside vendor for our photography. They were very open and understanding about it, and all we had to do was sign a waiver. VERY FEW venues would allow that, especially in this town.


We will have our ceremony outside, surrounded by fake, carved pumpkins and decorated with black tule.




Our colors are Orange, Black and Purple, and I had this vision of making those colors as elegant, yet fun as possible. Maybe I don't know what I was thinking, but it's still coming together quite nicely.


My dress is coming from the fairygothmother.com , and I'm STILL waiting for it to show up in the mail. I knew that ordering from a company in the UK would be difficult, but I couldn't find a better dress. I have this unnatural fear of it never getting here, and having to wear a rental. :(
Anyway, it looks like this:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v193/queendisko/Wedding%20stuffs/newdress.jpg


I'm not wearing the blue corset, and my skirt will be purple. I'm still trying to choose between purple and black, for my corset. I'm also trying to lose a few lbs before I send in my measurements. I'll be sending them in June.

Jon's Tux is from http://www.gentlemansemporium.com, and I like this one:



http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v193/queendisko/Wedding%20stuffs/jonssuitidea.jpg

I personally like the one with the top hat, but we'll see what he picks out. We won't be getting the vest from there, because it's not the right color. A normal tux shop should have something in deep purple, to match my dress.

Our Photographers are AWESOME. They're http://www.twopeaspictures.com/ and I LOVE what they do. We met with them last week, and they offer the BEST prices in town, without the need to upsell. I'm sure this won't last, and I'm really glad we found them so soon! They're even going to dress in costume to join in!!


The Wedding Party is a mixture of our closest, most trusted friends and our families. They will all be choosing costumes to wear, and they have a few rules:
- Nothing gory or too scary. Dracula is fine. Freddie Kruger is not.
- The nicer the costume, the better. I understand fancy costumes are expensive, and I've talked it over with them - as long as it doesn't look like it came from the dollar store, I'm ok with it.
- No double-entendres, sexual themes or generally distasteful get ups. It's not that we don't have a sense of humor, but I would like my wedding party to represent better in pictures. I realize I can't put too many rules on my guests, because I believe that would hinder the fun.

My MOH is one of my closest female friends and someone I've been working with for three years. Stephanie and I been part of the management team at a specialty store for almost four years, and we've grown very close. People ALWAYS mistake us for sisters, even though we're 10 years apart (I'm older), and she's taller. We've also been told we have almost identical mannerisms, and personalities, (although I think she's more organized). So far, her number one choice for costume is Snow White.

My Bridesmaids are my two younger sisters. We're pretty close (we're the only siblings that actually grew up together), and I couldn't have a wedding without them in it. I'm not choosing between them for a MOH. I can't, because they're both equally amazing women.

The youngest is my sister Jacqui, who has three sons of her own. When she got married, I coordinated her wedding by myself, and we provided everything from the cakes to the food, completely DIY. I even made her bouquet! She works in accounts payable, and is an amazing musician (like my parents).

My middle sister is Andree, and she's the oddball out of all of us. It's kind of funny to think of her that way, because she's the only "preppy" one, and is career-driven, as opposed to family-oriented. She's a choreographer and talent agent in L.A. with her own business. She's also the most visually-creative girl in our family. I can't wait to see what she comes as! She also can't believe I'm getting married in a black dress. Her idea of a perfect wedding is one coordinated by Vera Wang :X

My flowergirls are our daughters, Aurora and Weslee. Aurora keeps changing her mind about her costume, but Weslee will come down the aisle as a sparkly ladybug, with both of them dropping faux fall leaves from plastic trick-or-treat pumpkins!

My FH's Groomsmen are his brother and his closest friends. They all think we're crazy, which surprises me. They keep asking "Really? We're ALL dressing up? ARE YOU SURE??" - Men never cease to surprise me. Haha.

The little details...
Our centerpieces are going to be carved pumpkins, glowing with light cubes, and topped with an autumn bouquet of flowers. Any suggestions for Autumn flowers would be GREATLY appreciated. I'll be making the bunches myself, and if my MOH has time, she'll help.

Our favors will be caramel lady apples. I saw a great recipe for them in Martha Stewart's Halloween Book, but I also read on a blog that her caramel recipe is too complicated. We're just going to use caramels, and dip them in jimmies, nuts and little candies. They'll be wrapped in cellophane and sealed with curly ribbon and a sticker bearing our names and date. My FMIL is an amazing baker, and is eager to help with this. I'm hoping this will bring us closer

I still need:
- INVITES!!! They're incredibly hard to find, and I'm at the point where I'm going to make them myself. I think I'll make a prototype next month and see if I can make about 50 of them.
- CAKE!! But that will be done by the end of this month, I hope
- HONEYMOON!! I'm actually thinking about having a "FamilyMoon", because my girls are so young to leave behind. :X


*PHEW*

I LOVE the first one!!!!! I think I might do something like that to put in the jack-o-lanterns!! THANK YOU!!!

[MrsAlmostK]

Ok - I'm trying really hard not to concentrate on the invites until I have the cake done. I just sent our inspiration pics to a new baker, who works with fondant. I like her display cake, and she told me about doing a Star Wars wedding last year. She's going to bring pictures of the cakes she's done, because she doesn't have a website yet.

I actually found her at one of the cupcake shoppes in town, and then I saw her on WeddingWire. After all the near-misses with our first cake lady, (whom I consider to be really wonderful! I'd recommend her to anyone!), I feel better about this one. She's on our side of town, and isn't quite as busy as the other lady. I don't know how much she'll charge for delivery, but we're not having a gigantic wedding, and I don't think it will be a problem.

Our cake choices:

If those don't pan out, FH and I really like the idea of three stacked pumpkins, in graduating sizes. Actually, he REALLY likes the pumpkin idea. He's a huge fan of both The Nightmare Before Christmas and It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. I like them both, but I'm more flexible.

Anyway, I also wanted to share our "I Love You" story, because I've been thinking about it recently. I did that "You and Your SO" survey, and I think it's funny how things turned out in that regard.


His brother and I have been friends for almost as long as Jon and I have. Like my FH and I, we chatted in instant messages a few times, and have always had great conversations. Around the time that Jon and I started dating, his brother met his first fiancée, and was falling in love with her around the same time. He often IM'd me for advice and feedback, because he had never dated anyone with a child before.

One night, he asked me who I think should say "I Love You" first. I think he was too nervous to say it to her, because he seemed to be trying to think of excuses to not say it. I was probably the wrong person to ask, because I don't say it first. I'm not saying I play games, or that it's something everyone should go by, but me saying it first usually ruins the relationship. I don't know if I say it too early, or whatnot, but in all the times I've felt love for a guy, (and really, there hasn't been that many - LOL), the relationships that have lasted the longest were the ones where HE has said it first. It's just always worked that way for me.

Well, after explaining that to my FBiL, he got defensive and accused me of playing games. In his mind, it shouldn't matter who said it first, although he wasn't going to. Whatever, I know what works for me.

The next night, my FH and I had gone out on a date somewhere, (and I really don't remember where). At the end of the night, he walked me to my door, and we stood there for about 10 minutes, saying good night and talking. He kissed me goodbye, and the whispered: "Maria...I love you."

WOW. I about floated up to the rooftop. I wanted to say it back right away,b ut I was speechless. It was so sweet and honest. There was no preamble or random conversation leading up to it. All I could do was hug him tightly and sigh.

Later that night, we were talking on the phone, (Something we did everynight back then), and I told him that I loved him too. I told him I was sorry I didn't say it then, but that he had taken my words from me, and I couldn't gain composure fast enough. It was a good thing I explained it to him. He was worried I didn't feel the same way.

Anyway, I was thinking about how that was just another reason why we are so perfect for each other. I can't wait for October!

[Jacobs_Girl]

Nice dress! I like your theme as well its so BOLD! I saw a Halloween/goth wedding on TV they had a fountain (plastic one) filled with punch that looked like blood!

[MrsAlmostK]

I'm up and I'm searching for wedding songs! I'm starting to get wedding fever! :X

This is our song list, and it's definitely not finished.

A few things:

- I don't want people doing the Macarena, The Electric Slide or the Conga Line at my wedding. Don't ask me why, but I think it's tacky. (Oh, the irony!)

- Jon and I have very eclectic music tastes. I love everything from the Mediavael Baebes to Royksopp. He loves college punk and contemporary alternative, like Smoking Popes, and The Muffs.

- I want to keep the cheesy love songs to a minimum. Or at least play songs that aren't quite as popular as typical wedding songs. It's sort of making things difficult.

So far:

Walk in and Introduce music: Smoking Popes - Need You Around. (This is actually "our song")

First Dance: Nick Drake - Northern Sky

My dad probably won't attend, because he's quite far, and it's my second marriage. :/ He's a minister and a jazz musician. It's kind of funny that the whole "Halloween" idea scares him, but that he can play in clubs and in Jazz Festivals with tons of high musicians and he doesn't break a sweat. Oh well.
No father/daughter dance.

For random music:
- Ministry - Everyday is Halloween
- Oingo Boingo - Dead Man's Party,Weird Science, Little Girls
- Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear The Reaper
- Siouxsie and The Banshees - Peek A Boo, Hong Kong Garden
- New Order - Temptation
- The Postal Service - Such Great Heights, The District Sleeps Alone Tonight, Silhouettes
- DCFC - I Will Follow You Into The Dark
- Justice - D.A.N.C.E
- Daft Punk - One More Time
- Bjork - Violently Happy
- Republica - Ready To Go
- Vampire Weekend - M79
- B-52s - Strobelight, Rock Lobster
- The Cure - Pictures of You, Just Like Heaven (I would put their entire library if it wasn't filled with songs about lost love. )
- Fisher - I Will Love You
- Once Soundtrack (Glen Hansard Marketa Irglova) - Falling Slowly
- Annie Lennox - Lovesong For A Vampire
- Psychedelic Furs - The Ghost In You, Love My Way
- Bauhaus - Bela Lugosi's Dead, She's In Parties
- Concrete Blonde - Bloodletting (Hey! It's a HALLOWEEN PARTY!)
- Mazzy Star - Fade Into You


Along with these, I'd like a good mix of traditional, fun halloween songs like Thriller, The Monster Mash, The Adams Family Theme, and Ghostbusters.

Cutting The Cake: Squirrel Nut Zippers - Hell

Bouquet Toss: Siouxsie and The Banshees - Kiss Them For Me

Garter Toss: The Bloodhound Gang - Mammals (HAHA! FH picked this one out!)


Ok. I know there are more songs out there, but I'm FINALLY getting too sleepy to find them.

[alli816]

I love your inspiration cakes.....I'm enjoying reading your love story, cant wait to hear and see more.....

[Nikita706]

I love your song list. That would be so fun! And I SO AGREE with you about the tacky dances. My Mom keeps trying to get me to play things like YMCA and wants me and bridesmaids to learn the Thriller dance (I think she said she saw it in a movie...but I saw my cousin do it at her wedding with her BMs and it looked ridiculous). I, like you, also listen to some eclectic music, but I finally realized that if I want people to dance, I'm going to have to find some more mainstream music that people will know. I still left in a few of my favourites, but I've been to weddings where people are playing music that nobody knows, and there were only about 2 or 3 people who danced. For any other event, I'd be rocking my favourite bands, but for a wedding, I decided to go with songs that people would know (I just made sure to only pick the ones I like).

:cloppy:

:cloppy:

Yeah - I pretty much want to dot my selection list with good songs and different songs. In this case, it's especially good to be having a Halloween Party. People will expect a different playlist than normal wedding music.

Most of what I like right now is electro-indie anyway, and even if people don't know it, it's easy and fun to dance to. I'm not really putting any rock stuff in there, aside from Concrete Blonde.

And I've seen the "Thriller" BM dance on Youtube. NO THANKS! hahahaha!

A few of my girls want to lip sync to The Spice Girls - Wanna Be. I think that will be hilarious, because Jon and I have both known these girls for about 10 years or more.

[MrsAlmostK]

I met up with a different pastry chef today, and she was able to make the PERFECT design right in front of me! She's a pastry chef at Le Cirque, and she has a side business in wedding cakes.

Her price is right for the fondant work, and she's going to double-layer the buttercream underneath. We're going with a three-tiered pumpkin cake, sort of lop-sided, decorated with bats, spiderwebs and fall leaves. The top tier will be a jack-o-lantern, and she's leaving it flat, so we can put a topper.

Also, my oldest has picked out her costume. She really likes this one:

She's a big fan of skull and crossbones on everything. Especially with a bow. LoL

[alli816]

Your cake sounds yummy, cant wait to see it....your daughter's dress is cute....

[MrsAlmostK]

To all my lovely brides:

My beloved husband Jonathan died on Saturday morning. He had a sudden brain aneurysm, and was declared brain dead around 3:45 PM.

They kept him on life support until he was able to donate his organs. His liver went to someone in Arizona and his kidneys went to someone in California. I'm going to contact the doner coordinator and find out more info on who received his organs. I want to know that he's alive in some way.

Secondly, I know I was planning a wedding here, and that I let everyone assume that we were not already married. I'm sorry I didn't say that we were. We got married last July, in a very small ceremony, after we had already put money down on a wedding. We did it because we simply couldn't wait, but we were going to have the 'big wedding' anyway. We wanted to make it as authentic as possible, and I didn't tell anyone because I wanted to feel like a new bride, and Jon often called me his "beautiful bride"

As you can imagine, I am completely beside myself. I don't even know what to think.

All I want to say is congratulations to all the beautiful brides here. And please - if your husband has severe sudden headaches, PLEASE GET IT CHECKED OUT. IT IS NOTHING TO LAUGH OFF OR IGNORE!! PLEASE!!!
