The Corpse Bride?

Ok, so we left Scholls at 4 this morning for the funeral of an old friend from Grants Pass, Linda Olson. By later the afternoon however things turned a little wierd as we had the opportunity to see the transformation of Alicia and Tucker. What do I mean? Well, this is a long post but stay tuned, it is worth it!

Apparently, Alicia had decided that she and Tucker would go to a costume party as Corpse Bride, so the first thing she did was talk Grandma Wright out of her 56 year old wedding dress! No seriously, it is the real McKoy! Actually Alicia looked pretty good in it I thought, but wait it gets better.

Of course, Tucker too needed a little work to play the dead Groom, but we had no idea what was about to occur!

First a black Wig! Actually not a bad look I think!

Within minutes however, the eyes showed up and we all began to get scared. Anyone who knows Alicia knows about the eyes, but this particular combination was quite something!


Then things started to go just wrong! Notice the computer screen in the background being used to model this travesty!


Before we knew what was happening, the transformation was complete, and none of us will ever be the same. It is the Corpse Bride!

The Groom, he looks dashing I think. Deserving of a beautiful bride!

And upon seeing him, she seems to be perking up a bit too!

Soon, they are planning the Corpse Wedding, obviously very excited!

Well, at least she is. He on the other hand appears to be getting cold feet or something.

He may be a bit worried about the effects of a kiss from a corpse!


But in the end, they find that bliss is entirely possible when two are united in their attempt to win the $150 prize at the costume party!

Stay tuned! The result will be posted in the near future. For the Corpse News, it's Grandpa Vial signing off!

Great post. You do a corpse commenter really well!

I seriously like that picture with Alicia with long dark hair. She's done no hair at all I think she needs to go the other extreme of long and black!

How great you were there for the transformation. I'm anxious to hear if they won.

wow! They did such a good job! Chris and I are not that inventive, I was Sarah Palin (lack of dress up wardrobe for anything else) and Chris...went as himself. We should take lessons from Alicia and Tucker :) Looks like you all are having so much fun together! And Rainbow looks incredible!

Wow, that is truly impressive. I agree with Chelle, that Alicia looks amazing in black hair.
