Trick or Treat? It's a Treat




Rebecca and Rashan wanted a Wedding Halloween Party...and their guests obliged. All sorts of goblins, monsters, and weird spirits showed up for their wedding at St. Charles Seminary, Staten Island.




Rebecca's father escorted her down the dramatic central stairs of this former mansion turned event space. Rashan joined her as they exchanged vows and rings in a simple ceremony. And then the party began!

Evelyn Rogers of Taste of Honey used the Halloween theme for the cocktail hour's appropriately grisly appetizers..for example, scallops with a slice of olive on top were "eyeballs" and the wings were called "bat wings."

Ceremony Idea: If traditional readings from literature or religious sources are not what you want for your ceremony...why not use lyrics to a song that you like. For this Halloween ceremony, I suggested lyrics from a song in "Phantom of the Opera." The words resonated with this couple...and I could see a guest in a phantom costume out of the corner of my eye.
