Tracey said: 'I promised to take my awful rotting husband and to love and care for you as we decay together so that your rotting, bloated corpse may live for eternity beside me, or until someone removes your head.'
The gruesome groom, 36, was then told: ‘You may eat the bride.’
Guests wore creepy costumes for the ceremony in Worcester, which included the couples' six-year-old son William, who was dressed up as a zombie best man.
Mrs Monaghan, 29, said: ‘I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but it’s our fairytale wedding

Alik Gershon Israeli chess
The tournament began in Tel Aviv's Rabin Square with grandmaster Alik Gershon shaking hands with every single player as he walked along rows of tables lined with chess boards.
In order to set the world record, the Ukrainian-born Mr Gershon must win at least 80 per cent of the games.
"I'm going to be breaking the Guinness world record for the biggest simultaneous chess game. The record today belongs to an Iranian grandmaster on 500 boards," Mr Gershon told AFP.
"I'm going to make it 520 and hopefully I will win over 80 per cent of the games."
Training for the event, which is likely to continue through the night and into Friday morning, was purely physical and included a lot of jogging and swimming, the 30-year-old former Israeli champion said.
"There are a lot of kilometres to walk and you have to stay focused," he said, noting that his Iranian rival Morteza Mahjoob walked 40 kilometres (25 miles) to secure his record.
Mr Mahjoob set the current record of 500 games in August 2009 in a feat which took him 18 hours with less than five seconds for each move.
"Hopefully all our wars against Iran will be on the chess board," said a smiling Mr Gershon. "For such wars, I am prepared."

king koil Mattress Dominoes Springs were in the air yesterday when the world record for human mattress dominoes was broken.
The attempt was made by Palantine Beds, in Newcastle, and saw 400 mattresses toppled - beating the current world record set by a team in America.
After four months of planning, the team behind the event were last night celebrating in style.
The firm's sales and marketing manager Andrew Waters, is now awaiting official confirmation from the Guinness Book if World Records that his team are now the current world record holders in human mattress dominoes.
Mr Waters said: 'We didn't have the turnout we were hoping for so we had to improvise.
Volunteers in Newcastle breaking the World Record for human mattress dominoes when they toppled 400 mattresses in succession
The event took place at the spacious Newcaslte Furniture Service warehouse in Newburn Riverside, where excited participants whooped as they passed the current record
'The first two rows that toppled then had to pick their mattresses up and run around and join the end. But it actually made the whole thing more exciting to be honest.
'It was a great morning. I had a lump in my throat at the end of it.'
Until two weeks ago, the world record as held by a group in China, who toppled 256 mattresses in May this year.
Then a team in New York toppled 380 mattresses, making the record harder to beat.
But yesterday's attempt saw 400 mattresses fall, after colleagues from Palantine Beds, owned by Newcastle City Council, Your Homes in Newcastle (YHN), and other volunteers, took three minutes and 41 seconds to set a new record.
The event took place at the spacious Newcaslte Furniture Service warehouse in Newburn Riverside, Newcastle, where excited participants whooped as they passed the current record.
The Lord Mayor of Newcastle, Coun Brenda Hindmarsh, started the event, which involved hundreds of Geordies and their mattresses.
Mr Waters added: 'We followed their rules to the letter so there is no reason why we shouldn't have the record. It's what we set out to do.
'It was a lovely atmosphere and it just wouldn't have been possible without all of the volunteers who gave up their time on Saturday morning to take part.
'When we originally set out to do this it was going t be 301 mattresses, but a few weeks ago America did 380.
'So we upped ours. We had to extra staff working overtime to makae extra mattresses and they have all been absolutely fantastic.
'It was just a daft idea that snowballed, but it couldn't have been done without everybody who has taken part.'

Some people like a big cup of coffee in the morning to wake them up. But not usually this big -- this is the world's biggest mug
The 8 foot tall cup contains a massive 2,010 gallons of freshly brewed coffee - that's the same as 32,160 regular cups.
It took a team of people more than eight hours to brew all the coffee required, who were in turn powered by several cups of coffee.

The previous Guinness World Record for largest cup of coffee was set in 2007 at just 911.5 gallons… that's now a medium a Starbuck..
But the record breakers didn't stop there. They then added 3,500 pounds of enormous ice cubes to also set the record for the world's largest cup of iced coffee too.
A spokesperson for GourmetGiftBaskets.com which set the records said: "We wanted to break both records because we had this massive cup and thought, 'We'd be crazy not to'.
Madeleine McGregor, who jumped into the filled cup added: "It was a wild experience. Hopping into a frigid cup of iced coffee was one of the most exhilarating experiences, and a once in a lifetime opportunity."

67-year-old Nick Le Souef Australian Spider Man to Spend Three Weeks with Poisonous Spiders Imagine living in a confined space for three weeks with more than 300 spiders, including fatally venomous red backs and hairy huntsman.
Nick Le Souef, an Australian businessman from Melbourne, will do exactly that to raise 50,000 dollars for a children's charity.
Passersby will be able to see him in a shop window everyday surrounded by his eight-legged friends.
Souef, a former opal miner, says he will take just one precaution in his mission, he will be spider-free at night.
"The spiders can be roaming around me during the day. They won't have the opportunity to be crawling into my swag (camp bed) at night and sort of saying a quick hello - I mean I'm fairly silly doing this but I'm not stupid," he said.
To begin with, there were about 400 spiders until a 'massacre' happened when the creatures started eating one another.
So now, a few crickets and cockroaches will be thrown into the shop window each day to keep the remaining 300 satisfied.
Souef, who holds the Australian records for three-week stints in a snake pit and a shark tank, originally wanted to do the stunt with snakes, but licensing issues put a stop to that.
Though he does not care much for the spiders, Souef says he will put up with the creepy crawlies for charity and use this time to write his memoirs.

Ronald Mallet was only ten years old when the father he worshipped suddenly died and he always harbored the fantasy of traveling back in time to save his father's life. Now a professor of physics at the UniversityEinstein's theory allows you to manipulate space and time. What I realized was that I could use light based on Einstein's theory. I'm a theoretical physicist like Einstein and what I was able to do was design a set of equations that said time travel was possible. What I did was sort of the analog of time travel of e = mc2 and the thing is that that was an equation that Einstein came up with but what I need is the experiment to demonstrate my theory.
So theoretically it is possible for anyone to go back in time. Physically though is it possible? Well there's a limitation. One of the problems is this is a real time machine and people in fact have asked if time travel is possible then how come we're not inundated with time travelers? With a real time machine you have to realize that it's the machine itself that's creating the effect. That means if I turn the machine on today and leave it on, lets say for a year I can travel back a half a year all the way back to when the machine was turned on but I can't go earlier than that.
So you want me to tell you how its done. How do you physically get a person, an object, how do you physically get it to go back in time? I can explain that but one of the things I should mention is that with my work we're not trying to send a person back into the past. What we're trying to do is see if we can send subatomic particles or information which would be a major breakthrough in itself..
