Halloween Horror Nights First Wedding
“Until death do we part” brought on a whole new meaning at Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights as April Richardson and Adam Cochran became the first to share their special day with chainsaw wielding maniacs and other scary and undead weirdos.
The Legendary Truth haunted house was the scene of the wedding as cold fog and the sounds of an eerie bridal march filled the air as April walked down the aisle. As the couple were announced husband and wife, the wedding guests cheered and scare actors snarled while the sounds of chainsaws from the Chainsaw Drill Team erupted.
The newlyweds then boarded a hearse and rode to the wedding reception as it slowly meandered through Universal Studios, followed by the wedding guests dressed in black cloaks.
At the reception, everyone enjoyed a three-tier cake decorated with spider webs and a skull cake topper and the entire wedding party then “enjoyed” the horror of Halloween Horror Nights firsthand.
Adam was born in Virginia and April was born in Connecticut. Both grew up in North Carolina and they currently reside in Vermont. They met six years ago in college and were engaged in May 2010 following his proposal in the arboretum at their alma mater, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Over the years, Adam, a pharmacist, and April, a graphic designer and aspiring writer, said that getting married at Halloween Horror Nights is a dream come true, as the annual event is their “holy grail of Halloween celebrations.”
