For Brisbane-based, Japanese bride Misaki \u201cRevecca\u201d Fujiwara it\u2019s horror and gore and a fascination with death.<\/p>\n<p>So much so, that the full-time pastry chef has recently added a new talent to her CV \u2013 she\u2019s now a qualified mortician.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI prepare dead bodies for funerals,\u201d she explains. \u201cIt\u2019s very satisfying. Not all bodies come to us in perfect condition; I fix them up for their loved ones.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She adds, &#8220;I don\u2019t scare easily. Not many people have the guts to do those kinds of things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her Halloween wedding to Ryan Montgomery, 30, was a celebration of their version of normal (and shared love of horror); a spooky soiree on October 26, 2013 that involved a Rottweiler ring-bearer, zombie apocalypse and dinner music from the horror movies <i>Corpse Bride<\/i>, <i>Nightmare on Elm Street<\/i> and <i>Saw<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>Beginning at the gothic St John\u2019s Cathedral in Brisbane, guests\u2019 first shock was, not by Rev\u2019s black and silver ruffled gown or her unique hair and makeup \u2013 but by her astonishing 10-metre veil.<\/p>\n<p>The surprises kept on coming. With Rev wishing for \u201cnot one boring moment\u201d for guests \u2013 some of whom got into the \u2018spirit\u2019 of the day with some incredibly authentic (and frightening) costumes &#8211; things were about to ramp up a notch.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hired a zombie crew to scare our guests at the reception,\u201d says Rev. \u201cThe MC announced a zombie apocalypse &#8211; \u2018everyone watch-out!\u2019 &#8211; and out came the crew to Michael Jackson\u2019s \u201cThriller.\u201d&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen the bridal party came out and Ryan and I made our entrance as though we were infected by a zombie virus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rev says she\u2019s always loved horror, even as a kid. When asked why, she responds, \u201cWhy do you like a dog? You just do. Why do I love gore? I just do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The unconventional pair recently celebrated their one-year anniversary, not with roses and chocolates and candlelit dinners, but at Movieworld\u2019s Fright Nights on the Gold Coast.<\/p>\n<p>Venturing into themed mazes based on <i>Wolf Creek<\/i> and <i>The Evil Within<\/i>\u00a0&#8211; where real-life characters jump out to scare the bejeezers out of you &#8211; is not my idea of a good time. But for this pair, it was the perfect way to say \u2018I love you.\u2019<\/p>\n<div class=\"clearfix\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-63987 alignleft\" alt=\"Rev_Ryan_Halloween-Wedding_SBS_001\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Rev_Ryan_Halloween-Wedding_SBS_001.jpg\" width=\"427\" height=\"640\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-63990 alignright\" alt=\"Rev_Ryan_Halloween-Wedding_SBS_003\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Rev_Ryan_Halloween-Wedding_SBS_003.jpg\" width=\"427\" height=\"640\" title=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-63931\" alt=\"Rev_Ryan_Halloween-Wedding_003\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Rev_Ryan_Halloween-Wedding_003.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-63928\" alt=\"Rev_Ryan_Halloween-Wedding_001\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Rev_Ryan_Halloween-Wedding_001.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-63937\" alt=\"Rev_Ryan_Halloween-Wedding_007\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Rev_Ryan_Halloween-Wedding_007.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"clearfix\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-63938 alignleft\" alt=\"Rev_Ryan_Halloween-Wedding_008\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Rev_Ryan_Halloween-Wedding_008.jpg\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-63946 alignright\" alt=\"Rev_Ryan_Halloween-Wedding_014\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Rev_Ryan_Halloween-Wedding_014.jpg\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" title=\"\"><\/div>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;My mum knew from early on that I wouldn\u2019t fit into \u2018normal\u2019 Japanese society,&#8221; says Rev, &#8220;so she enrolled me into the International school.
