Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler's Wedding

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.
