Everyone is entitled to the wedding of their dreams, even if that means dressing up as the corpse bride to walk down the aisle. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but that doesn't matter. All that matters is that the couple enjoys it. But people, especially of a certain generation, can be strangely gatekeepy about wedding traditions. They push for the white dress, the traditional ceremony, the boring cake.

I understand that rituals are important, especially if it's in your family for generations, but there is plenty of room to riff on tradition. Like this couple, who decided to lean into their Halloween wedding date with a haunted venue and spooky choice of dress. Sounds like an absolute blast to me, but that wasn't the case for the bride's family. But they swiftly learned a lesson as the bride showed them who was boss. Read on for the story and to see if her reaction was justified.
