WEDDINGS OF STYLE - THE BRIDE WORE BLACK - When these goth rockers got married, they put their mark on wedding tradition.

"Ladies, gentlemen, friends and fellow bunny lovers," he intoned. "Welcome to the wedding of Jessicka Fodera and Christian Hejnal."

When goth rockers Fodera and Hejnal decided to get married on Valentine's Day 2006, the usual white satin thing was definitely not happening. Fodera, known professionally as simply Jessicka, once sang with Marilyn Manson, and went on to form a noise-pop outfit called Scarling with Hejnal, a guitarist and visual effects producer at Sony. At the heart of Hollywood's goth rock scene, they were introduced seven years ago by their mutual friend, best man Lisa Leveridge, who thought they would make a good couple because they were both "small musicians with black hair."

Goth culture has thrived for more than 20 years, but nowhere more than in Los Angeles, where America's first goth club, the Fetish Club, opened in the 1980s. Now there are more than 20 goth and death rock club nights a month, a goth-industrial roller skating event called Wumpskate and goth days at Disneyland. There are a slew of goth bands in Southern California, and goth clothing boutiques such as Necromance, Shrine and Panpipes selling the dramatic velvet and leather looks to devotees. Some of L.A.'s most relevant fashion designers have a goth bent, Rick Owens and L'wren Scott among them.

So a goth wedding was pretty much inevitable.

Fodera and Hejnal booked the deco-decadent Oviatt penthouse in downtown L.A. for Oct. 13, and artist friends began pouring their talents into the details -- the invitations, the creepy bunny centerpieces and the goth-rock playlist.
