FARIBAULT — Ali Boran and Jason Deike were married Saturday in a traditional ceremony — on a decidedly untraditional day.
The new Mrs. Deike has always wanted an October wedding, she said Friday.
“I just like the fall, and the colors, and it’s cool enough,” she said. “I didn’t want to get married when it was hot out.”
The trouble was, the only reception hall in Faribault large enough to accommodate their guest list had just one Saturday open in October: Oct. 31.
A Halloween wedding?
Make that a wedding on Halloween, said Boran.
There were no costumes at the ceremony or the reception, but that didn’t mean the unusual date was ignored.
“When my mom told me that was all that was available, I thought it would be cool,” she said. “And my dad thought it would be cool, too.”
The reception featured purple buckets with Halloween decor, filled with candy, spider rings and little vampire teeth, Boran said, “so the kids don’t have to miss out on all of Halloween.”
Some guests sent regrets, said Sara Boran, Ali’s mother.
“They didn’t want their kids to miss out on trick-or-treating,” she smiled.
The wedding party dressed in costumes during the rehearsal, instead. The bride was a Native American princess; her parents, Sara and Tim Boran, were a cowboy and a cowgirl.
The bridal attendants included a waitress, a goddess and a pregnant cat.
The groom dressed as Jigsaw from the “Saw” movies.
“We wanted to have some fun with it, too,” said Deike, the son of Roxie and Steve Deike.
According to Boran, the question she heard most often leading up to the nuptials was if it was a “theme” wedding.
It wasn’t.
And no, her colors weren’t orange and black.
It was the first time in 11 years that Halloween fell on a Saturday; it was the first Oct. 31 wedding the Rev. Lora Sturm of St. John’s Lutheran Church has performed.
She enjoyed the light-hearted fun at the rehearsal, she said, and agreed that it “might be best” not to dress up at the actual ceremony.
“There are often so many different backgrounds” at a wedding, Sturm said, that someone could be offended.
She, however, had no problem with any aspect of a Halloween wedding.
“Plus, they get to sleep in later,” she laughed, referring to the end of Daylight Saving Time early Sunday morning.
St. John’s itself has special meaning to the couple; Deike will be the fourth generation of his family to be married at the rural church.
And, like many men, Deike is grateful for an anniversary he will remember.
