Halloween Contest 2012

They often say that love happens the moment you lay eyes on that special someone for the very first time. It's as if the stars were perfectly aligned and the two of you were destined to meet in order to share eternity with one another.

But what if your soulmate was really not the person they seemed to be? That after the vows were exchanged and the last bit of cake had been eaten you soon discovered a haunting reality too frightening to even imagine.

This is your opportunity to let your creative juices run wild and interpret what the complete opposite of wedded bliss might be.

This year's theme: Unhappily Ever After
