Brink Powell and John Dominic McNulty IV announce loudly, clearly, and with strong steady voices their engagement to be lawfully wedded into marriage, which will encompass “knot tying,” “hitching,” “broom jumping,” “glass stomping, “and the oppression of no more than one ankle each by the fastening of balls and chains to said ankles.

The bride-to-be is the daughter of Harry and Lottie Powell, LaPlume.

She is a 2010 graduate of Keystone College, where she learned how to manage time by drinking coffee, was very active in theater, and failed statistics because it’s useless. She works as the Secretary of Special Education for the Lackawanna Trail School District. In her free time she is active in community theater, has achieved the status of a level 80 night elf hunter, and much to the chagrin of her prospective groom, she’s never eaten, or attempted to eat, their pet cat Calliope.

The prospective groom is the son of Susan and Jude Kellet, Avoca, and the late John “Mac” D. McNulty III.

He is a 2002 graduate of Bloomsburg University, where he discovered electricity, taught sharks to lie, and of the force became a pupil he did. He works as a Guest Relations representative at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. In his free time he is present in community theater on occasion, enjoys eating sins, and causing strangers’ pets to doubt their owners.

They will assume their roles as spouses on Halloween which, contrary to popular belief, is the most wonderful time of the year. The ceremony, requiring guests to attend in costume, will take place at the Masonic Hall in Nicholson, followed by a frightfully festive and fantastical feast, fraught with fearful fun and fabulous frivolity ranging from funny to freakishly phenomenal.
