"Then, we began seeing couples getting married in costume on Friday, Oct. 13,” the judge continued. “By the time we received our third request for a Halloween costume wedding ceremony, I realized that non-traditional weddings were ‘a thing,’ and that we as a court should have some fun with it."
Although the poster reads “costumes welcomed,” Judge Johnson stated per Fox 5 that couples don’t have to dress up to get married on the day.
