For Erica and Christopher, wedding bells sounded more like blast beats. On April 22, the couple tied the knot in the most brutal way imaginable—right in the middle of a mosh pit at a Cannibal Corpse concert in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The unconventional nuptials took place at Stage AE during the band’s performance of “Unleashing the Bloodthirsty.” As chaos swirled around them, the pair exchanged vows with roaring guitars and flying elbows as their soundtrack. Their marriage certificate even lists the concert venue as their official place of matrimony.
The ceremony wasn’t just for shock value—it was deeply personal. The officiant’s speech quoted Trivium’s Matthew Heafy and lovingly referred to the couple as “two dark beautiful hearts.” Their vows sealed the deal with tongue-in-cheek devotion: a promise to stand by one another through “shitty cinematic remakes” and any horror-heavy hurdles that come their way.
Photos and video clips shared by Erica on Facebook showcase the joy, chaos, and pure metal energy of the moment.
In a world of cookie-cutter weddings, Erica and Chris proved that love—and metal—knows no bounds. This was more than a show. It was a ceremony straight from the heart… and the pit.
