Some Really Strange Places to Tie That Knot

Looking for something different for your wedding?  Choosing an unusual location might be the best way to make your wedding one that everyone will talk about for a long time!  I did a little online research, and came up with some of the most bizarre places that people choose to say their vows:

~ Bungee Jumping:  Talk about taking the plunge, off of a bridge!  This isn't for the faint of heart, and besides, it certainly would ruin your dress and hairdo!

~ McDonald's or Taco Bell:  Couples love to incorporate their "story" into their wedding.  A couple met while working at Taco Bell, and decided to have their wedding there.  They didn't wait until the restaurant was closed, either...just had their t-shirt wearing officiant marry them at one of the tables while the rest of the patrons looked on.  I wonder if they tossed cheese instead of rice.

~ Clowning Around:  A couple that enjoyed spending time as clowns got married in their make up.  Well, I guess that cuts down on the cost of formal wear, stylists and make up people!

~ Wing Walking:  A very daring couple got married while riding on the top wing of a biplane as it flew.  I bet the hardest part of planning this wedding was finding an officiant who wasn't afraid to take a ride.

~ Hot Rod Wedding: Rev. Daniel Best has a reconditioned 1942 Edition American LaFrance Fire Engine.  It's got a chapel on board, with a steeple and stained-glass windows.  There's room for the essentials of a wedding:  Bride, Groom, Best Man, Maid of Honor, Officiant.  Rev. Best charges $200 per hour and $2 per mile, and he and his rolling church are located in Shelbyville, Illinois.

~ Haunted House or Cemetery:  Okay, so the bride and groom are goth, and are interested in a creepy wedding.  Why not a cemetery?  There's lots of parking, and no traffic issues - unless, of course, you're lucky enough to have a funeral going on at the same time.  Or, if you're worried about the weather, what about a haunted house, or better yet, a funeral home?  If some of the guests aren't still among the living, you won't have to include them in the number you give to the caterer.

~ Underwater:  Do you love to swim?  Is the beach not close enough to the water for you?  Take a scuba class and get hitched under the waves.  What a great story to tell your future grandchildren!

~ Nudist wedding:  No worries for this one - no choosing gowns, tuxes, shoes, or foundation garments.  But you exchange that freedom for the fear of sunburn, and never being able to display your wedding photo in polite company - that, and the sight of your grandparents au natural.

~ Garbage Dump:  Evidently, someone thought that putting a red carpet through a dump constitutes a lovely and meaningful union of two who love each other.  Well, I guess there's no where to go but up from there when you begin your life together in a pile of garbage!

~ Prison:  True love happens all the time - even to people who live behind bars. The peneteniary isn't the lovliest of settings, the attenants are armed, and besides, the spouse that isn't incarcerated  gets to spend an extended honeymoon alone.

~ Top of Mt. Everest:  What a view! Celebrating the highest love on the highest mountain top in the world! Only one couple made it so far, but aside from the pesky details like the dangerous climb (don't mind the remains of those who didn't make it on the way up), having to add a shirpa into your budget, and that annoying lack of oxygen at this height, a wedding at the summit would be one to remember!
