Interesting wedding locations
 

Couldn't find an appropriate thread to post this in, so feel free to share other interesting sites here.

Yesterday, when I got home from a wedding shower, my mom told me that her friend had called. The friend had been with her kids in the McDonald's of the Super Wal-Mart. They heard an announcement:

Attention, Wal-Mart shoppers. The Garden Center will be closed from 11:00 - 1:00 today for a wedding.

Kinda brings new meaning to "walking down the aisle"!

A friend got married at a lighthouse and had the reception at a Whaling Museum. Imagine what happened when you have a slew of TKE brothers and their wives dancing to Love Shack under a very large whale's skeleton!

How is that a small world? At least where I'm from the vast majority of men in fraternities will marry women in sororities.

I think they were trying to go for that "fairy tale princess/castle thing".

They failed miserably.

At least you tried to find the silver lining. :)

I was hoping that was just the reception or they were waiting for the limo for the real reception. Yeah...no.

where i grew up in new york, the small downtown area of a town is known as the "village". in the village area of my town, there is a burger king. two employees met there and later got married in the restaurant's dining room during the lunch hour. they didn't even close down the dining room for the ceremony. the local paper covered it and had pictures. so romantic....and trashy.

one of my good college friends got married by the Angel Oak near Charleston. it was a really pretty ceremony.

A couple weeks ago, I was walking with a friend in Valley Forge National Historical Park. There was a photographer taking pictures of a bride, groom, three bridesmaids, and three groomsmen. There was a limo nearby but I didn't see anyone else. So perhaps they had the ceremony somewhere nearby and stopped at the arch in the park to take pictures.


Also, since we're talking about weddings in restaurants. Check out the Waffle House wedding. http://www.gwinnettdailypost.com/mai...rticleID=16944

Several years ago, while walking past St Pats in NYC, saw a full Military wedding. The couple walked down the stairs under a canopy of drawn swords.

My wedding is at the Zoo, not as "interesting" as the white castle wedding, but I like to think it's unique.

I got married at the Zoo in Colorado Springs 25 years ago this August. It was amazing to look over the city from high on Cheyenne Mountain. PM me which zoo.

I love seeing weddings there!

My dad has a friend who was married at the train station. She & her husband met commuting to NYC from Long Island everyday. Some of the stations are pretty generic concrete buildings but this one was very cute, looked just like a house!

OMG a wedding in a church? What next?!!>!?# :rolleyes:

Well the thread is "Interesting wedding locations", so maybe St. Patrick's Cathedral is an interesting wedding location because it's a beautiful, interesting, historic church. :)

I interpreted Jon's comment as how interesting it looked to see a bride and groom walk under a Sabre Arch with 6 military officers in dress uniforms forming a sword arch over the couple as they come out of the historic church. The last one swats her on the rear and says "welcome to the Army (or whatever branch of service) Ma'am". The Arch makes for beautiful photos.

I wonder if Where the Heart Is? made that notion more popular.

I recently decided that I'd like to get married in my uncle's backyard. It's huge and gorgeously landscaped. What's more, I think it'd be super comfy if the guests sit at long tables for the wedding. This would also make it easier and time-saving because I could turn it into an instant reception! I'd like a traditional church wedding, but his yard is so awesome, that I think it'd be much more fun!

this is silly and I don't think I'd ever do it but I have 2 horses and I would love to walk down the aisle as in our barn aisle, with all the horses standing there :) plus there is plenty of room for a reception! and I wouldn't have to pay to rent a place out... always a good thing!

I'm nowhere near ready to get married, but I was looking up wedding/reception venues just for fun. These are the ones I would want to have my wedding or reception.

Philadelphia Waterworks

Adventure Aquarium

Phoenixville Foundry

The Fuel House

I am so loving the aquarium! How cool!

In San Diego, California--really La Jolla--there's the wedding bowl that folks have to get up early in the morning and compete to get at the Parks and Recs Department for 8-9 months in advance of the wedding, unless you are super famous. But still, you have lookie loos are your wedding in shorts and t-shirt all clapping because you said "I do" and kissed... I like the concept and I would have done it if I was young, but as I got older, getting into a wedding dress inside a trailer just would have not done well with me...

The first time I read your post I thought of Runaway Bride...then I realized you wouldn't be riding the horses.

lol I thought of that but everyone has convinced me that too many things could go wrong lol.
