Powerful sounds of a trumpet and organ filled the chapel where Samantha and Anthony exchange vows. In remembrance of their late grandparents, the couple place five red roses on the altar.
Samantha walked down the aisle in a strapless silk couture gown by Justina McCaffrey. Rather than choosing an overly ornate gown, she saved the sparkle for veil, which was embellished with Swarovski crystals all along the edge. “I would wear my veil everyday of the week if it were OK!” says Samantha. Her 11 bridesmaids wore strapless wine-color dresses teamed with black pashminas to ward off the late October chill.
Inspired by Halloween and her favorite color, Samantha carried a bouquet of mango and wine-color calla lilies with red berries. To complement the color of their dresses, the maids carried bouquets of wine and cream-color roses and berries.
A tower of cupcakes took the place of a traditional wedding cake. The small treats were decorated with seasonal flowers, leaves, and pumpkins. “We couldn’t decide on flavors so everyone got two cupcakes, one chocolate and one vanilla,” says Samantha.
With Halloween being their favorite day of the year, Samantha and Anthony set out to create a festive wedding day with many personal touches.

The Groom Anthony Tarricone, 29, systems administrator and volunteer fireman
The Date October 30
 
When Samantha Medina started working at the same company where Anthony Tarricone spent his days, she practically broke her computer just to make contact with the systems administrator! Luckily, Anthony took the bait and the two started a romance that led to a proposal on a boat ride on the Hudson River.
