Kimmy & Brent get “Carrie-d” at their Evil Dead-themed wedding

At a Glance

When a wedding starts at an Evil Dead: the Musical show and ends by being “Carrie-d” in buckets of blood, you’re at a pretty kick-ass wedding. With the entire cast in tow, a “Deadite” minister, a glass shotgun full of tequila, and one horror-loving couple, we dare you to enter this wedding and come out alive.

Tell us about the ceremony:

Our officiant was a Deadite minister and our vows consisted of zombie apocalypse-type scenarios where we promised to chop off each others’ head (and not other body parts) and other bad movie puns. After our vows, we were Carrie-d” by having a bucket of fake blood dumped over our heads. It was so much fun and a very memorable experience for us and all 30+ of our guests.

Tell us about your reception:

We didn’t have an official reception. My cousin from Sacramento bought us a glass shotgun filled with tequila, so we just invited our guests up to our hotel room and we had a small party and took turns doing the shotgun shots.
