Kerri & Chris’ trick-or-treat Halloween military wedding

A Halloween theme, zombie-themed live band, and a saber arch in one wedding? Hell yes. This rockin’ party had these influences and more, including pumpkin carving, a candy buffet, and real live trick-or-treaters busting in. Even though the bride almost didn’t get her dress in time due to a volcano(!), they still managed to host a kick-ass party, giving us another great wedding for Halloween week.
