This Spooky Christmas Elopement Includes The Poisoners Handbook
When the phrase ‘Christmas elopement’ comes to mind, it’s easy to envision a winter wonderland scene complete with snowflakes, mistletoe, twinkling lights, and a sea of red and green hues. However, Katherine Dupree’s December elopement stood out from the norm. The couple, Sarah and Jake, brought their own brand of quirky charm to their intimate celebration by incorporating spooky chic goth elements into their big day.
And what made it even more unforgettable was the unconventional venue where they exchanged their vows – a truly unique and memorable setting that will leave you in awe.
Let’s see their spooky chic Christmas elopement!
The story of Sarah and Jake’s first date is a meet-cute for the ages. To gauge her date’s comfort level with her quirky nature, Sarah always brings a book on a first date – in this case, The Poisoner’s Handbook. She casually placed it on the table without comment, waiting to see how Jake would react. The result was telling: some people might be intimidated by the book’s morbid subject matter, while others might ignore it altogether.
But Jake’s genuine interest and delight showed that he was willing to embrace Sarah’s offbeat personality. Ten years later, they celebrated their love in style with a goth-themed elopement at Boxcar Barcade, complete with vintage arcade games, cheesy Christmas lights, and an array of quirky touches. It’s no wonder that The Poisoner’s Handbook made a special appearance on the big day, a testament to the couple’s enduring love and commitment to each other.

By doing so, you’ll create a unique and memorable ambiance that will leave your guests in awe. The juxtaposition of the delicate, snowy flowers with the darker, edgier tones of your wedding decor will result in a visually striking combination that is sure to make your special day truly unforgettable.
