A West Virginia couple has turned their spooky dreams into a hauntingly beautiful reality. Thaddeus and Danielle Martin tied the knot on Halloween in Salem, Massachusetts, where the atmosphere was eerily fitting for the occasion.
The bride, resplendent in black, wore a veil to match her dark attire, while carrying a bouquet of black and red flowers. The ceremony took place at Willows Park, surrounded by family and friends who had joined them from West Virginia for this unique celebration.
According to Justice of the Peace Penny Richards, who officiated the ceremony on Facebook, Danielle and Thaddeus had traveled from their home state to take advantage of Salem's notorious three-day waiting period before they could pick up their marriage license. Despite the howling wind, which threatened to disrupt the proceedings, the couple remained steadfast in their commitment to each other.
"We got engaged back in the spring," Thaddeus told WBZ radio and television reporter Jay Willet. "We pretty quickly decided we should get married on Halloween – it's our favorite holiday." Danielle echoed her husband's sentiments, saying, "It was pretty cool to be able to pull it off. There were moments where I didn't think it was going to happen in Salem."
The couple's love story is one that will leave you spellbound. Their decision to tie the knot on Halloween, a day often associated with romance and passion, only adds to the magic of their union. As Danielle so eloquently put it, "It was pretty cool to be able to pull it off." And for Thaddeus and Danielle, there's no better feeling than having made their spooky dreams come true.

it was this gorgeous shade of blue and it flew around me for like 5 seconds before it disappeared into thin air 
anyway i was thinking about how that butterfly must have felt when it landed on that flower and how it adapted to its new surroundings so fast 
it got me thinking about how our lives are kinda like that too we land in these situations and we gotta navigate through them 
... I mean, who gets married on Halloween? It's just an excuse to wear black and be all emo 
. And Salem, Massachusetts, is literally the most touristy place in the world right now 
. Like, who wants to get hitched in a place that's already crawling with witches and ghosts? 
It just screams "I'm trying too hard" 
. And don't even get me started on the veil – what's up with that? Did they really think it was a good idea to dress like a funeral goer for their wedding day? 
... anyway, I guess if you're into that sorta thing, be my guest 
.
I love how they incorporated black and red flowers into the bouquet - so fitting for a spooky celebration. Their decision to get married on Halloween was genius, it's perfect for a couple who loves that holiday. Did they have a costume or any special decorations? 
. I'm sure they didn't really need an excuse to rush into marriage. Maybe they were just desperate to make the whole thing work out 
.
Like I've been following their relationship on Instagram and they're just so perfect together! 
The way they incorporated black flowers into the bouquet was such a genius move, I'm totally stealing that idea for my own wedding (just kidding, sorta 
). And can we talk about how adorable they look in their matching dark outfits? 
They're truly meant to be and I'm so glad they got to make their spooky dreams come true! 
The Willows Park ceremony was literally the perfect setting for a Halloween wedding... like I need to visit Salem ASAP!
