Grand Island: The bride dressed in black carried chains, handcuffs and a bouquet of black roses, while wearing a ball on top of her head. The groom skipped the tuxedo and dressed like a skeleton.
The couple exchanged vows in the middle of Elm Street in Grand Island on Tuesday night, and began their lifelong nightmare together.
The Halloween-themed wedding between Sandy Beyer and Keith Vogt was an impulsive idea that was frightfully clever.
"Weddings are generally boring, especially for kids, so we decided to do something fun for the kids," Beyer said. "Then they could go out trick-or-treating."
Vogt and Beyer said they don't regret skipping the traditional gown, pomp and circumstance.
"I did that the first time around and we are having fun the second time around," Beyer said.
Among the wedding guests were Count Dracula, the Statue of Liberty and Paul Revere.
For Reynalda Carpenter, the county official who performed the wedding, this was a first and "a little unusual," but she may be working future Halloween nights.
"I had another couple inquire about getting married on Halloween last week, but they didn't have time to prepare," she said. "They said, 'Maybe next year.'"
