Minutes after a judge announced, "Marriage should be approached with the utmost respect," a man dressed as a six-foot banana looked lovingly at his wife -- dressed in an ape suit -- and said, "I do."

Hence was the strange wedding held at Six Flags Great America Monday morning, as eight couples either tied the knot or renewed their vows during the theme park's 14th annual Fright Fest celebration.

Me and my fiance were going to do it because we are planning a wedding next Oct but we were going to change it to this year after finding out about Hallowedding. Unfortantly his mom is SUPER religous and when we told her we were thinking about it she almost had a heart attack! We are so very much regretting not doing it now.

I would definitely want to do that. But getting married while riding a roller coaster would be even better. I've actually seen a couple do that, no joke. It was on some wooden coaster a few years ago. :wink:

I've seen many tv show segments that show a couple being married on a rollercoaster.(ig Steel Force) It would be cool, but my mom really wants me to be married in a Church.

In the Guiness Book of World Records (1999 I think) it said that something about SFGAm about having a large wedding on Giant Drop.

Saying my vows to a beautiful women (please say Jessica Simpson gets divorced) while halfway up the Bull's lift hill. The perfect moment. :cry: Gets me teary eyed. Well, I can wish. :wink:

i got married at hallowedding on october 12, 2001 at six flags great adventure in jackson nj. it was a blast. they let us ride batman six times in a row and didnt make us get off because we had just gotten married. it was great. alot of people dressed up in costumes, but some, including my self, dressed up as an actual bride. and since there was no wedding photographer, we went and got a caricature done. it was definitely memorable and the whole thing cost like $100! so at least i wont be in debt from my wedding until i'm 40

yes, I know I'm bringing up an old topic BUT does anyone know if there will be another Hellowedding this year?
