bride in red hmmm :)

You have a 'thing' for goths don't you Fluid?

Well this is a gothic website.

...afterall.

another one of those "Fluid has a random thought and posts it on the old side-line" post. ;-)

Fluid,

This has got to be the most ridicules thing you have posted (and that says a lot). You talk like "Goths" aren't part of the human race...you need to check into the real world and what is going on once in a while.

Fluid, try checking at the Thomas Road church in Lynchburg Virginia. Its a seceret, but if you ask in person, they'll do it.

Fluid,

BTW, are you Goth and what is the reason for your question?

Wow....just wow..

"all in black a gothic minister"

Gothminister does weddings? Whoa...



My plan is to dress up like Hunter S Thomson and get married in Vegas, by a midget Elvis impersonator.

Fluid wants to get married. To a horse. Looks like his job hunt paid off very well.

<<< I assume goths get married. >>>

I bet you blacks and jews get married too!

Miracles never cease.

if this is a gothic website, i'm going to cancel my membership pronto!

"I bet you blacks and jews get married too!"

"Miracles never cease."

Even Amish folks get married...here's the "wedding walk":

Amish chicks are HOT! (Ok, I admit it, I have a little bit of an Amish fetish.)

Anyone remember Witness with Kelly McGillis? Purrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

From Witness:

You never had your hands on a teat before?

Not one this big.

i am getting married at 30 june, with some small gothic elements in the total to use for entertainment, just as an extra original touch, not like a shallow evil content. we do it in a small church, afterwards a reception in a venue and after that dinner, and then it is partytime, with two ofg my favorite befriended bands angles & agony and misery live on stage, some good dj's and a lot of goth and non goth people, family, friends etc all in one party. this is going to be fun!

Congratulations n' all that Tek!

"It's a nice day for a...
Black wedding."

There was not a touch of goth/industrial ridiculousness whatsoever in my wedding. Just a basic, beautiful ceremony and reception. I didn't want anything in my wedding that I may regret later in life (aka: Trying to look EXTREME and SHOCKING, which may be embarrassing 10-20 years down the line).

The people in attendance however, that's a different story. Lot's of colorful hair, black clothes and whatnot... ;)

the singer for my old band & his exwife had a "gothy" wedding. red & black, hired a club dj.

i've heard stories about people having weddings on halloween in the forest, but i have yet to witness one.

most people i know will have a semi regular wedding to apease the folks & the bride will wear docs under her poofy dress or something & they'll have a mix of traditional & club music. i did sound for a couple weddings & made mix disks (i am not a dj). i played a bunch of ambient during dinner & arrival. then ramped things up over the course of the evening.

Damn, what the hell am I doing on a gothic website???

my wedding wasnt 'gothic' per se as much as 'us'. My ex wore a white dress, i wore a tux, only difference was all the guys in the wedding, and myself were wearing Doc's. our song we danced to was 'some kind of stranger' by the sisters.

we all got completly trashed, and its all a big blur. good times, haha

what's goth?

The Goths were an East Germanic tribe who from the 2nd century settled Scythia, Dacia and Pannonia.

Congrats TekNoir! - I am getting married soon as well - May 6th! We are having the DJ Alex Vance who was thee DJ for Club Zadar in New Hope, PA USA in the 80's. He also worked for Rock America for a the time. We are going to definitely have some favorites played including Death In June, Sphan Ranch, Puppy (of course), The Damned, Nitzer Ebb etc as well as a hardcore set! As for the wedding itself it will be full of Punks, Rivetheads and Goths as well as regular folks that just want to wish us well so the Glenn Miller and Rolling Stones and whatever will be played - but usually by that time everyone is drunk enough to dance to the Bee Gees anyway so who gives a shit. BUT NONE OF THAT ELECTRIC SLIDE OR ALLEY CAT CRAP!!!! When it comes down to it you do have to think of everyone there. You can play your own faves anytime but they are showing up to celebrate your union and give you a present.That's the way I see it anyway =:)

TekNoir,

Good luck to you and your bride!!..and also I love your reviews. very informative!!

Tek, I wish you well - is it a private show you have the bands playing at? Sounds awesome!

My wedding was held at ruins, in Victorian dress (both myself and my wife),
Gothica (the band) was the music we marched down the isle too. At the reception it was Die Laughing, Switchblade Symphony, Faith & the Muse while we ate. After the speeches it was a mix of wedding favs, 80's and goth/future pop stuff.

We held the reception at a nice hotel (Radisson) so the food was amazing and we decked out the tables in total goth elegence - if you saw Marilyn Mansons recent reception it was very similar but obviously without the expensive glasses etc. It so happens I'm related by family lties to an established fashion designer, while gushing over our 2003 wedding he was quick to whip out an issue of Vogue with Mansons wedding inside. He left our house with dvd copy of our wedding to show his students.

The funny thing is so many morons think that a "Goth Wedding" is going to be some lo-brow event that is a tacky, cliched affair. Fluids question is a great example of this - well done! Though I'm hardly surprised coming from Fluid...

@Fluid re original question:

Anything is possible in Vegas.

Oh yeah, and this...

http://www.trystancraft.com/martha/weddings/index.html

Goth would actually be perfic for a wedding. A gothic cathedral, people in suits,statues,candles, only thing is that everyone'd be wearing black. You do that at funerals. Oh and there's an old custom. If the bride's a virgin she wears White. If she's a slut she wears Black.

Accessorize with medieval gothic crystal & pewter dragon wedding goblets

Thanks to this thread I've got 'Black Wedding' by Blutengel stuck in my head - nice going people! ;-) "She will be his victim in this special night etc."

@Fluid,

And what does the boy where if he's a slut?

o.n.i.x ™: Yeah, that's a funny song. "There was a black wedding in this strange cold night. All the people laughed, but she, she wished to die!"

I am Azrael Abyss! With me is Circe Nightshade, and welcome to our dark ceremony of doom.

@Pulse State: Hahaha I love ~B~!

@ empusa, it is a private party in a venue with a semi-open invitation....

btw. and i do not even consider myself goth..... :D

This is a goth forum? :/

Btw Congrats Teknoir!

I hope not! GOTHICSUCKS!

Aaah, some stupid store clerks on break called me goth yesterday; I smashed my just bought eggs into their hair! Jeans and a black shirt, wtf?
OT, but life's little victories must be shared.

Congrats to all the to-be's, btw.

@ Emissions,

WOW, you're awesome btw...:)!!

("To be") or preferring death ("not to be").

No, not awesome, just frazzled and pushed over the edge. Ok, it was cool seeing their faces. They were too shocked to say anything, but if they did I would have totally lost it. They would <so> know the difference between goth and industrial if I had to make their ears bleed, which I would. Masonna ho!
Was that a question? 'Cause I'm very not to be. Single since.. uh... forever.

How does one decide to go about and get married, anyway? To be a little on topic here.

A clasic Fluid post. BUMP!!

Not really sure why everyone disses the poster. It's an honest question.

I went to one "gothic" wedding. It was just as boring as any other wedding. The ceremony was normal, except the bride and groom were wearing the special outfits out course. Afterward, they were playing the normal stuff you might expect: VNV, Wolfsheim, etc.

Oh, and I think it's completely stupid how people differentiate between goth, industrial, noise, etc. It's all the same fucking scene. So you can have an "industrial" wedding and people will still be wearing the same clothes as a goth wedding. They'll probably be playing the same songs.

Why is everyone so hung up on these labels? Like, if someone asks me what I listen to, I might say ebm. I get a blank stare, and then I say gothic/industrial. Another blank stare, and then I say dark electronic music. Another blank stare. Um, stuff like Nine Inch Nails. Oh, okay.

@defaultet
Heard of fluid?
