happy halloween!

On October 31, 2003, I went to a Halloween party dressed as Violet Beauregard from "Willy Wonka." At that party, I noticed a cute guy (wearing a mullet wig) playing beer pong (klassy). We later struck up a conversation while waiting in line for the bathroom... and now, he's my husband.

in 2004, on our one year anniversary, as Daphne and Fred

Now that we're all hitched and stuff, we no longer consider Halloween our official anniversary... but I will always remember it as our meetiversary.

We'll be celebrating the spooktastic holiday in costume with friends (costume photos to come!). I look forward to someday having a house that we can decorate from top to bottom and throwing a fabulous Halloween party. Here is some of my favorite Halloween inspiration that I've been bookmarking from around the web this week.
