I think that would be sweet

Go for it. Can you invite me, i'd love to attend such an event. It would be plenty ripe for black magic rituals. I could use the opportunity :D

As others have stated, it is your day, so you can have it where you want! However, I can't imagine your guests feeling very comfortable attending a wedding in a cemetary! And further more, how are you going to convince the cemetary owner to allow you to do this. People paid to buy those plots for their family memebrs to rest in peace, having a party there is somewhat less than peaceful and quite inappropriate!
Bottom line, getting permission to do so, will be difficult and after that, who is going to come! I wouldn't go to a wedding at a cemetary, and I can't imagine most people would either!

If you want to be a freak! Thats kinda weird you know...Why would you want to have your wedding around a bunch of dead people? Plus some people may be offened or not feel very comfortable being at a cemetary! Why not have it at a nice park or church instead? Please rethink the decision & figure out some place else to have a wedding! I dont mean to sound mean but I have never heard of that before & its a little shocking to be. I hope this helps! Good Luck :)

Yes, you absolutely can and you certainly wouldn't be the first. Some places you actually do need to go to the board of directors and be "interviewed" - they want to make sure you're not part of some cult or you not making it a "freak show" or anything that might be considered disrespectful to the families who may be visiting loved one's gravesites that day. Halloween is a different story; there's lots of call for those.
Here's Spring Grove in Cincinnati: http://www.springgrove.org/sg/weddings/sg_weddings.shtm

Look around. You can probably find a place where you are.

Do you have a particular one in mind? Call them and ask. Some may say no, some may charge a small fee for mantenence and upkeep. I'm sure you'll be able to find one that will allow this, although there may be rules on what part of the cemertery you are allowed to use. If this is what you want, then by all means go for it!

You would have to talk to the caretaker of the cemetary before doing any planning. You most likely COULD, but you should talk to the owner of the cemetary first.
Sounds strange, but cool!

ur question is a little bit weird. of course you can have a wedding in a cemetery, if that is your wish, especially if you are goth.
but then, there are other nice places where you can have your wedding.
all i know there are some scenarios where people who hold their weddings at the cemetery is if the fiance died suddenly, because of so much love they just went through with their wedding and that is during the time of the burial itself. a little bit morbid i know, but i guess that's the power of love... neither time nor death can stop it.

When you say "at a cemetery", I assuming you mean in the chapel at the cemetery, not out on the grave sites. Some of the chapels at the cemetery are quite lovely. I say do it, if that's what you wish. If it's really in the cemetery, people sitting around on the grave markers of the deceased, I think that would be disrespectful to the deceased buried there. But again, it's your wedding!

It's your day... you can have your wedding wherever you want. Just consider the fact that some of your guests may not be comfortable with this idea. But all in all, it's your decision.

Probably not since cemetaries are privatly owned (on the most part.)
There are lots of other ways to get the attention you want - good luck.

Yes you can but it would be at the discretion of the minister of that particular church. Some people may feel it is inappropriate and would not be willing to conduct a service there. I wouldn't say it is sweet, but it is certainly original.
