Who: Travis
Barker of the group Blink-182 and former Miss USA Shanna Moakler When: October
30, 2004 Where:
Bacara Resort and Spa in Santa Barbara, California The Proposal:
On Christmas Eve, the gothic groom-to-be popped the question
amid the ghosts and goblins at Disneyland's Haunted Mansion. The Ceremony:
The unconventional couple chose wedding coordinator to the stars
Mindy Weiss to help brew up a wedding inspired by their favorite
flick, Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. The
Bacara Resort and Spa, no stranger to celebrity nuptials (Yasmine
Bleeth of "Baywatch" fame said "I do"
at the Spanish-Colonial influenced retreat), was adorned with
a red and black motif for the occasion. The groom's Blink-182
bandmates, as well as a replica of Nightmare's focal
character, Jack Skellington, witnessed the alternative rocker
and beauty queen profess their love beneath a floral arch sprinkled
with incense. The Dress:
The bride chose a traditional long-sleeved lace gown with a
ballroom skirt, accented with a large black sash at the waist
and a black net hat which she wore jauntily tilted to the side
of her upswept blonde locks. For a dash of color, the former
Miss USA carried a small bouquet of crimson roses. Six flower
girls were adorned in white sleeveless frocks with a black sash
at the waist and the hem trimmed in the same dark hue. For color,
the girls wore wreaths composed of yellow and red blooms. The
groom opted for a black, pin-striped tuxedo, with a copy made
for the rocker's young son. The Honeymoon: After a reception in which the rock drummer took the stage to perform with the self-proclaimed king of rock and soul Solomon Burke, the couple flew off for a honeymoon in Tahiti.
