Day of the Dead Weddings

Mellisa and Phil's Heavy Metal Wedding is One to Remember

I am a big fan of cool weddings, ceremonies that are unconventional and completely represent the people who are getting hitched. So Melissa and Phil’s Heavy Metal Wedding is one that I wanted to attend.

Using the theme of the Mexican Day of the Dead holiday, and their love for heavy metal and all things zombie, this couple created a ceremony all their own. With tacos for dinner, skulls on the cake, and an entrance march to Norweigan death metal, Meslissa and Phil’s Heavy Metal Wedding will be the talk of the town.
