Samuel Curry and Tegan Conroy were married at Sandgate Cemetery Chapel, believed to be its first wedding.

Samuel Curry and Tegan Conroy got married on Saturday at Sandgate Cemetery Chapel in Newcastle in Halloween costumes. The bride wore black and carried a fox foot and jawbone in her bouquet, while the groom had skull art painted on his face.

Guests dressed as Cruella de Vil, witches, and other creatures to witness the ceremony. The couple, together for more than two years, chose the Gothic-style chapel and married on Halloween, their biggest celebration of the year.

It was believed to be the first wedding ever held at the historic venue. They said they respect the site's sacredness and find it tranquil and peaceful.

A themed party was set to follow off-site with Halloween candles and skulls.
