It is every woman's dream to have that gorgeous dream wedding where she can be treated like a princess for a day. Well, one couple in Waterbury, Connecticut certainly had a different idea of that dream wedding. The couple decided to get married on one of the most unholy days of the year, Halloween. The couple tied the knot at a local tattoo studio on Halloween and to seal the deal the bride and the groom both got tattooed. Fortunately, they did not get each other's names tattooed on each other, which is a good thing. But then again the bride got “werewolf” tattooed on her knuckles and her groom got “wormfood” tattooed on his knuckles. Even though these words seem out of the ordinary they both have special meaning to each of them. However, if would probably be more romantic if they got each other's names tattooed on them but that is besides the point.
This just goes to prove a point that when two people are in love and share a special bond with each other, they don’t need the traditional diamond engagement ring and wedding bands to seal their lifetime bond. This couple is obviously the nontraditional couple that has a deep love for each other as well as a great love of tattoos.
So take this as a lesson learned to all your nontraditional people out there that also have a love for tattoos. If you would rather use tattoos to seal your matrimonial bond than by all means head to your local tattoo studio and get inked up. There is a huge plus side to this nontraditional approach, you won’t have to spend hundreds of dollars on a engagement ring or wedding band.

Tattoos and a Wedding: A Unique Love StoryEvery woman dreams of a fairytale wedding where she can be treated like royalty for a day. However, one couple in Waterbury, Connecticut, redefined this dream in a way that was uniquely their own. They chose to get married on Halloween, one of the most unconventional days of the year, and sealed their vows in a local tattoo studio. Instead of exchanging traditional rings, they opted for tattoos that held special meaning for them. The bride had "werewolf" inked on her knuckles, while the groom chose "wormfood" for his. This story highlights that true love doesn't need to follow traditional norms to be meaningful.
While most couples opt for a traditional wedding ceremony, this Waterbury couple decided to make their special day truly unforgettable by getting married on Halloween. The choice of venue—a local tattoo studio—added an extra layer of uniqueness to their celebration. According to a 2020 survey by The Knot, only 2% of couples choose to get married on Halloween, making this couple part of a very exclusive group (The Knot).
Instead of the conventional exchange of rings, the couple chose tattoos that held personal significance. The bride's "werewolf" tattoo and the groom's "wormfood" tattoo might seem unusual, but they carry deep meaning for the couple. This nontraditional approach to wedding symbols is becoming increasingly popular. According to a 2019 study by Pew Research Center, 30% of Americans have at least one tattoo, and many are choosing to incorporate this form of body art into their wedding ceremonies (Pew Research Center).
This couple's story serves as a reminder that love doesn't have to conform to societal norms. Traditional diamond engagement rings and wedding bands are not the only ways to symbolize a lifelong commitment. In fact, the average cost of a wedding in the United States is around $33,900, with a significant portion of that going towards rings (The Knot). By choosing tattoos, this couple not only saved money but also created a unique and lasting symbol of their love.
Nontraditional weddings are on the rise, with more couples opting for personalized ceremonies that reflect their unique personalities and interests. According to a 2021 report by WeddingWire, 20% of couples are now choosing nontraditional venues for their weddings, such as tattoo studios, art galleries, and even amusement parks (WeddingWire).
This Waterbury couple's Halloween wedding at a tattoo studio is a testament to the power of love and individuality. Their story encourages others to break away from traditional norms and create wedding ceremonies that are truly reflective of their unique bond. So, if you're a nontraditional couple with a love for tattoos, consider making your wedding day as unique as you are. After all, love knows no bounds, and neither should your wedding.
