the celebrations even further and got hitched dressed as skeletons.<\/p>\n<p>Steve and Karen Vailes took to Bristol Registry Office in their not-so-traditional outfits and all of their guests followed suit, with plenty of vampires, witches and monsters on show.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Vailes stated: &quot;I wanted a good, fun day and with it being Halloween, thought that would be a good theme.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>He admitted to some nerves about the unique dress code, but said these disappeared after he got his face painted.<\/p>\n<p>The pair are not going away on their honeymoon until next year, but said there is no way Transylvania is on their wish list.<\/p>\n<p>Another couple who enjoyed a bizarre-themed outing was Andy and Tracey Monaghan, who renewed their wedding vows last year dressed as a zombie and corpse bride respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Posted by Samantha Thompson<br> &nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-800784477-ADNFCR\"
