Their Wedding Story

Amanda and Josh’s wedding was anything but ordinary—set on the notoriously spooky Friday the 13th, they embraced the day’s eerie energy and turned it into an unforgettable celebration. The couple chose to incorporate their love for the Friday the 13th slasher films, weaving in playful nods to Jason Voorhees throughout the day. From the custom Jason mask flannel shirts worn by the bridesmaids while getting ready to the use of fake knives and masks scattered in the décor, every detail reflected their quirky theme. The phrase “Til Death Do Us Part” also took center stage, blending the horror film inspiration with the deeper sentiment of their love.

The wedding, held at the historic Kilburn Mill in New Bedford, provided a stunning backdrop for their big day. The mill’s rich history as a former textile hub was reflected in its charming industrial design, which offered the perfect mix of rustic elegance and modern sophistication. Amanda and Josh shared intimate moments before the ceremony, with Amanda having a first look with her bridesmaids and Josh sharing a touching first look with his mom. These private moments allowed the couple to soak in the day’s emotions before the celebration began.

One of the most memorable moments came on the rooftop deck of the Kilburn Mill, where the couple and their guests enjoyed breathtaking sunset views over New Bedford. The venue’s dramatic setting provided a perfect opportunity for a quiet, romantic moment, and the stunning golden hour light made for some unforgettable photos. Afterward, the playful nature of the couple’s theme came to life when a person in full Jason gear chased Amanda and Josh for a photo. It was a lighthearted moment that perfectly captured their fun and unique personalities.

In the end, Amanda and Josh’s wedding wasn’t just about the theme—it was a celebration of their love and commitment. The day balanced spooky fun with heartfelt moments, creating memories that will last a lifetime. From the Friday the 13th theme to the emotional first looks and stunning sunset views, their wedding was a beautiful reflection of who they are as a couple—a little adventurous, a lot of fun, and deeply in love.
