Couple Marries At Haunted Theme Park

LITCHFIELD, N.H. (AP) — The bridesmaids wore black and the flower girl showed up in a skeleton costume at a wedding held at a haunted theme park in New Hampshire.

Melissa Cote and Tom Cowern, who both work at SpookyWorld/Nightmare New England in Litchfield — tied the knot Monday night in front of the attraction's haunted house.

Cote wore a traditional white wedding gown with a black sash, but her dad dressed as Beetlejuice, the spirit played by Michael Keaton in the 1988 movie of the same name.

Cowern, dressed in black with a top hat, was the first horror actor hired at the attraction eight years ago.

The couple told WMUR-TV Cowern first scared Cote when she went through the haunt, and a few months later, they met under normal circumstances.
