Couple to tie the knot Friday the 13th at Toledo funeral museum
For a Grand Rapids, Mich., couple, it all started at their local haunted house. When Ryan Reyher met Stephanie Briceno-Rosas at the Haunt in Grand Rapids in the summer of 2020, he was immediately smitten, he said. “I thought she was gorgeous,” Mr. Reyher said of his first impression. But it wasn’t just her looks that attracted him: “She was really caring and her aspirations were really cool.” He asked her out at the end of August, 2020, and their relationship blossomed. Six years later, the couple, who share a love of all things spooky, plan to marry on Friday the 13th at Mortuary Manor Funeral Museum & Event Center, a museum housed in a Victorian-era building that later served as a funeral home in Toledo. “We were looking for kind of a gothic venue within our budget,” Mr. Reyher said. “We decided to reach out and see if we could host a wedding there, and he was more than happy to do it.” Friday’s wedding is the first for the museum, said Cory Leibenguth, operational manager of Mortuary Manor. The building dates to the 1870s and was remodeled into a mansion-style structure in 1897, he said. It became Urbanski

The story behind this corner started with a chuckwagon in 1907, and the building that stands there now still wears its Art Moderne style with pride. People drive hours to sit in its old booths, order at its narrow counter, and finish with a slice of pie.
