Queer Woodland Dungeons and Dragons Camping Trip Wedding

Rad and I met at probably the least romantic environment possible – working at the county Coroner’s office when we were both death investigators. After about a year of scene responses and autopsies (super romantic, I know), we were dating. From the beginning of our relationship, Rad was adamant that we would be getting married at some point in the future, turns out he was right!

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! The marrier had family that did not understand the need to have a black wedding dress or a moody wedding vibe, but in the end, they thought everything was just perfect.
