I Put A Spell On You

One year ago today, I married my best friend.

Phew, okay, now that the cheese is out of the way, I can tell you the story of our amazing Halloween wedding.  Where to begin…well, I suppose the most appropriate time is sometime in late July 2009.  I was flipping through my calendar at work and realized that Halloween was going to be on a Saturday that year.  Those are the most exciting Halloweens, because more people tend to go all out when the event is on a weekend.  Then it struck me.  Ian and I have been talking about getting married forever, but we weren’t sure what we wanted to do.  We didn’t know how we wanted to handle the fact that we would not be getting married in a church coming from two fairly religious families.  And we definitely wanted something memorable.  What could be more memorable than getting married on Halloween!

Devil’s Got A New Disguise

After resigning to the fact that there was no way I would have the time or creativity to pull together a Halloween costume with everything going on for the move, I managed to literally come up with an idea in the shower this morning.  It’s cheesy, but seriously…you can’t expect a woman who will be celebrating her first anniversary on Halloween to not at least try to participate.  Luckily there was a costume contest at work, so I managed to get a cell phone snap…quality’s sketchy, but that’s okay…thanks for the picture Sam!

So…without further ado…

That's right...I'ma hitchhike my way to Baffin Island in sub par winter clothing...
