GO got a first look at the newly released photos of the a steamy (and spooky) desert ceremony between Hollywood’s famed exorcist and horror novelist Rachel Stavis and award-winning writer and director Katherine Fisher.
The couple, who celebrated their six-year anniversary in May, tied the knot on June 12 with a tight knit ceremony at Nelson Ghost Town in Nevada. The gritty location was just the right mix of vintage and eerie to match their unconventional vibe. Complete with jaw-dropping natural views, the town’s history dates back to the 1860s, giving guests the perfect “rare Western showcase.”
Stavis stood out in a stunning vintage Oscar De La Renta gown, and showed off her darker side with a teased Elvira-inspired hairdo. Fisher sparkled in a black glittery pant-and-jacket combo and showed a little skin with a lacy tank top.
The couple opted for matching ‘Siren’ rings designed by Anthony Lent. Stavis is seen in a custom rose gold, while Fisher went for the classic 18k gold. Each ring is adored with .10 Carat diamonds. Fisher’s ring represents “[a]n enduring subject of the pantheon of great masters, the inspirational goddesses of art, music, poetry, and dance,” according to Lent’s website.
The ceremony was officiated by Glee star and accomplished author Chris Colfer. We’re sure there wasn’t a dry eye in the house!
The intimate guest list included Ben Putnam (BenDeLaCreme), Laura Zak, Arien Hatch, Eilish Fisher, Drew Starkey, Odessa A’zion, Gus Lanza, Lindsay Hicks, Will Sherrod, Darrion Lowenstein, Dixie Flats Jazz Band, and Calix Quan. The attendees certainly got the desert-attire memo. Many kept it casual to beat the heat, but there was no lack of sparkle or style.
Stavis, a non-denominational spiritual cleanser, had a special surprise for her guests. During the ceremony, the bride opened spirit communication for her friends and shared messages from loved ones who passed away. Her work as an exorcist (sans religion) is focused around healing trauma and pain. She has worked with over 10,000 clients out of her home in L.A.
She’ll soon be able to add ‘director’ to her list of achievements. She’s making her feature debut with Da Wee Do Wa. The film, which she also wrote the script for, centers female generational trauma explored through body horror. Her memoir, Sister of Darkness: The Chronicles of a Modern Exorcist, is also in the process of being adapted into a series, according to Variety.
