This dark gothic wedding is everything you’d want from a funeral director’s big day

This dark gothic wedding was full of black, gold, purple – and lots of love. Can you believe the marrier was nervous their partner wouldn’t go for the dark aesthetic? They went all in, and rocked the purple suit too!

In his relative’s giant backyard, with 125 guests, and all homemade decorations.
