Viking theme inspires ceremony
On Oct. 3, Chloe and Alex Aspinall were married at Camp Bucoco, outside Slippery Rock, in a Viking-themed wedding.
The Aspinalls, who have been together four years, decided they wanted a themed wedding because of their shared love of history. Then they began brainstorming ideas.
“My best friend came up with the idea (of Vikings), and we ran with it,” Chloe said. “We both like medieval stuff.”
Chloe said the bridal party was all dressed in traditional Viking garb, with the groomsmen in tunics and sporting swords at their sides. The swords were already in the family, as Alex's father is interested in medieval culture, as well.
The bridesmaids wore apron dresses and had daggers, while Chloe wore a traditional white wedding dress, with her hair done in braids reminiscent of the Nordic hair styles.
