‘Vampires’ tie the knot in Columbia Township
COLUMBIA TOWNSHIP — Dracula got married Saturday evening.
Jack Holsinger, 61, of Lorain, married his vampiress, Connie Spitznagel, 44, also of Lorain, in a Halloween-themed wedding at the Rockin’-R-Ranch.
It was Spitznagel’s first wedding and Holsinger’s second marriage. His son, also named Jack Holsinger, was the best man, dressed as Jack Sparrow.
The idea was the brainchild of ranch manager Derek Vitas. Spitznagel loved the idea.
“It’s mysterious,” she said. “It’s different. It’s spooky. Halloween gives people a chance to be something different.”
Different, in this instance, meant a lot of fun for the 60 or so friends, family and miscellaneous Ranch guests who watched the wedding unfold.
Holsinger arrived at the “altar” in a coffin via a hearse. His coffin was carried by six costumed pallbearers to the altar, where Spitznagel, dressed as a lady vampire, met him in front of a minister dressed as Jason from the “Friday the 13th” horror movies.
Spitznagel’s maid-of-honor, her 37-year-old sister, Kim Spitznagel, was dressed as the Bride of Frankstein and said she loved the idea of a Halloween wedding.
“I thought it was kind of crazy, but neat,” she said.
The blood-sucking couple met while camping at the American Wilderness Campground, which is owned by the same people who own the ranch. Guests there for the ranch’s haunted house and haunted hay rides were invited to watch the wedding.
Holsinger said the Halloween wedding was fine with him if it made his bride happy.
“This is her first wedding,” he said. “She had a common-law marriage the first time around, so she never really got a wedding. It’s what she wanted and it’s about her. It’s her time. Whatever she wanted.”
Minister Greg Kopp got into the spirit of things as well. The couple vowed to love each other, haunt with each other and howl at the moon together till the end of time.
They promised to forsake all other ghouls and goblins and grow in love and “other body parts” until - you guessed - death parts them.
Instead of a first kiss, Holsinger was ordered to bite his new bride on the neck.
The first introduction of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Holsinger was met with enthusiastic applause and cheers from the crowd.
After the wedding, they went through the haunted house together before heading to the campground where they had a reception.
“I think it’s great,” said friend Renate Maynard. “I think it’s fantastic.”

Why is it tacky? You get to dress up and have fun. It's cute. As long as they are having fun, then that is all that matters. I think it's adorable and it makes me smile. ^__^

I just find it tacky personally, if they like it, good for them. I just don't. That's all.

I'm just thinking this: How much of a party could a reception at a campground be?
Most receptions, if I drink too much I just find the elevator, go up to my room and pass out.
At this gig there'll probably be campfires, tents and sleeping bags to negotiate. Not to mention latrines. *UGH* Pass.
As far as the costumes and everything, this is no better or worse (even if they did vow "for better or worse") and no more original than all the Klingon weddings that have happened over the years. So ... meh.

I thought it was funny XD And at least you just misread it, someone who used to post here actually thought Newfoundland was a European country o.O
Awesome, I'll pick up the dresses! I have to warn you I'm not a virgin, so I think I should get married in off-white. We can then put our dowries together and move to Europe in style.

HAha, wher would there be a "NEW FOUNDland" in Europe?
Well, me neither. Let's just both wear red and black for the various connotations that could apply to us
