I LOVE THIS. What better gift for your zombie betrothed than a hand-painted zombie portrait of the two of you by artist Rob Sacchetto, author/illustrator of The Zombie Handbook: How to identify the living dead and survive the coming zombie apocalypse.
The photo above shows a before & after of one Offbeat Bride-reading couple. On the left: their lovely wedding portrait. On the right? ZOMBIFICATION.
The process is pretty simple: you send Rob a clear, high resolution jpeg of you and your beloved (or your bridesmaid, or your groomsmen, or your mother-in-law), and he'll works his illustrative magic. This is definitely a, uh, one-of-a-kind gift.
Special Offbeat Wedding Packages:
- Bride and Groom couple's portrait $160
- Maid of Honor and Best Man singles portrait $80 each
- Each additional portrait order $60 for single, $140 for couples

Oh and PS: If you're into Zombies, obviously you should snag a copy of Rob's new book, The Zombie Handbook.

This is awesome, and all I could think of was:
"Till death do us part."
"Braaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiins"
"Well, now that was quick."

Me too! Awesome 1st anniversary gift. We're getting married the day before Halloween this year too, so even better.

Ok, whoa. This is too weird. My now husband drew us as zombies back when we started dating as my birthday present!

Of course, our vows included the phrase "I promise to love and respect even after we are nothing but shambling brain-hungry monsters, interested only in human flesh and each other."

I love this!!! In fact, our wedding is on Halloween and after the ceremony we are being turned into zombies for the reception!! What a great way to commemorate the day!!!

"The gift that keeps on living."
Possibly the funniest line I've ever read.

Looks really really cool but I wonder how many wives are thrilled about this kind of gifts:)
OffbeatAriel said
Poroka, judging from the comments from Offbeat Brides — the wives are the ones buying these gifts for their husbands. Gender assumptions about interests in zombies don't really fly in these parts.

I had one of these portraits done with one of our wedding photos… It is fantastic! Cannot rave about Zombie Rob's work enough
