Nightmares, corpse brides, and shrunken heads: Let’s pay homage to Tim Burton weddings

No wedding cake smashing – do sexy knife licking instead!
Knife licking is way sexier than cake smashing, as seriously evidenced by this sexy shot from Scotia and Kyle’s Celtic viking pirate punk wedding. Delicious innuendo, how we heart thee. It’s appropriate that I’m categorizing this as “Food Porn.”
