The Date

Why October 31st?

Whether you call it - Halloween, All Hallow's Eve, or Samhain - this day is seen by many Wiccans as the new year in the cycle of the seasons. As we follow the Wiccan path in our lives we thought it would be appropriate for our wedding to be on this day, as it's a new beginning in our lives, as a married couple. Not to mention we love the holiday and all its spooky glory. We're odd people who love black, taxidermy and things in jars, not to mention other oddities and curiosities. This day is kind of perfect for us to get married, and we hope you think so too. We hope you enjoy spending time with us on this special day, and look forward to seeing you there!

A LONG Time Coming

If you've been long time friends with either one of us, you'll know that we went to the same high school. We actually even dated at one point during that time, and it was great. However, Carlene was very reluctant to let anything really happen, as she had not come out to anyone yet, and has religious family members. We parted ways as a couple after a few weeks, but stayed very good friends until I graduated. After that we kind of grew apart, until we didn't even know how the other was doing. We had our own lives, and our own relationships that weren't meant to be. We found each other again when I called Carlene in desperation as our new dog we'd rescued had gotten out of the house and we couldn't find her. We quickly found that as far as we were concerned, no time had passed, and became best friends again. Soon afterward we started dating once again, and things are awesome! We are immensely happy, as all of our friends could plainly see. Carlene took a leap of faith when she told her mother about us, but she was very supportive of us. In June of 2017 we took a big step in our relationship and moved into an apartment with my twin sister. Once we were settled in, Carlene helped me find the Wiccan path, and we've been practicing ever since. In October of that year Carlene asked me to marry her, and I said yes! She'd planned a big surprise for it, but I kind of ruined it by being nosy with our mail. Nonetheless it was beautiful, and we had a great engagement party on Samhain (Halloween.) Our wedding is on Samhain of this year, as we feel it's the perfect day for us to celebrate the joining of our lives. It's taken a while for us to get here, but it's finally happening!

For all the days along the way
