The wedding was held on Halloween night in the Munsters backyard which was all decorated with red and black streamers held in place by plastic bats and complimented with cherry blossoms. Blood-red and night black roses were everywhere. In the corner was a banquet table laid out with a royal vampire's feast and in the center was a large six-layer white and red wedding cake with a large plastic bat at the top. In the center of the yard stood a tall arch for Grandpa and the Countess stand underneath as they recited their vows to each other.
Every vampire and vampiress that the two of them knew had turned up and were seated in rows upon rows of chairs and the Munster family sat in the front row with Lily beaming as she blinked back tears and Herman openly sobbing into a red checked handkerchief.
They all watched as Grandpa, wearing his best black and red tuxedo, and the Countess, wearing a long sleeveless lacy black wedding dress with a matching black vein covered with tiny bats which had been made especially for her by Lilly and Marilyn, walked slowly down the aisle made between the rows of chairs holding hands while the Countess clutched a bouquet of black withered roses in her free hand.
They stood underneath the wedding arch and faced each other as they began to recite the traditional vows between a vampire and vampiress. Grandpa began first.
"Your blood is the purest
Of this I am the surest
Together we'll fly
Side by side, day by day
Searching for the reason why
Light by light, slay my mind."
The Countess took up the next verse.
"Dark is the sunlight, we cast the right together
Dark is the sunlight, or I'm blind forever
Dark is the sunlight, we'll spend the light together
Dark is the sunlight, or I'm blind forever."
Grandpa slowly lifted up her dark veil and recited the next verse:
"Goin side by side, day by day
Searching for the for the reason
Light by light, I slay my mind
There's no solution"
The Countess picked up two small black goblets on a small end table next to them and handed one to Grandpa and kept the other one as she recited the last verse:
"Dark is the sunlight, we cast the right together
Dark is the sunlight, or I'm blind forever
Dark is the sunlight, we'll spend the light together
Dark is the sunlight, or I'm blind forever."
Then at the same time they both drank from each of their goblets which contained a pint of each others own blood. And so now they were officially wed. All of the guests applauded.
Then as everyone gathered around the banquet table and helped themselves to food and cake Lily came up to Grandpa and kissed on both cheeks saying,
"Grandpa I'm so happy for you! I always knew you'd find true love someday!"
"Now you mustn't forget your mother, my first wife," Grandpa told her gently. "After all she was the one who put love in this old heart of mine and kept it longing for more."
"Of course, Grandpa," said Lily. Then she turned to the Countess and kissed her as well. "I am so thrilled to have you in my family!"
"So am I," added Herman. "You promise me you'll keep Grandpa happy."
"I promise," said the Countess.
"Grandpa," Herman continued. "I know we've had our differences in the past but now that we have a new member of the family live with us at your side I really hope we can get on better terms with each other."
"Well, we'll see how it works out, Herman," said Grandpa cordially.
Soon afterward there was vampire's wedding waltz and Grandpa danced with the Countess alongside their guests as Herman played and sang along with his pals, the Groovie Ghoulies.
"Don't try & fight it, just let it be.
Ain't no denying you're the one for me.
By tomorrow morning everything will be fine.
The spell is on & you're gonna be mine.
I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be.
You're gonna give your love to me.
You'll think only of me every single hour.
The spell is on & you're under my power.
Don't try & fight it, just let it be.
Those were the words that she spoke to me.
Now she's the only person that I want to see.
The spell is on and I don't wanna be free."
"She looks like one.
She dresses like one.
Got kicked out of the Goths for having too much fun.
She's my vampire girl.
Stays up all night, goes to sleep when it's light.
Her hair is midnight black.
Her face translucent white.
She's my vampire girl.
Anyone would be honored to hang around with her.
She might be considered bats, but one thing I know for sure:
you better not make fun.
You wish that you were one.
She lives in New Orleans but she still gets things done.
She's my vampire girl."
After the party was over the Countess tossed her bouquet into the crowd of guests and they all leaped over each other to catch it. Then she and Grandpa held tightly to each others hands and flew away for their honeymoon in Transylvania with black rose petals being thrown after them in their wake.
