Fun wedding!

I found this really funny article......"20 Wacky Wedding Locations"

Saddle Up First, head for Hazel's Rawhide Western Store in nearby Burlseon to outfit yourself in western wedding garb. The store's sales staff will coordinate your nuptials at its wedding site in Godley, Tx, a barn and gazebo on 90 acres of land. In Godley guests will sit on bales of hay and eat at tables decorated with Western-style centerpieces (cowboy boots filled with wildflowers). Add to the fun with a hay ride or old-fashioned hoedown. 817/295-7725 or 817/295-0016 or hazels.com (Well gosh and hee-haw. Pass. ~A)

Marry Your New Hunka Hunka Hubby For Elvis devotees, exchange vows at Graceland's front gates or in the new Graceland chapel in Memphis. There are a variety of officiants to choose from, including retired judges and Christian ministers. Don't count on getting married by an Elvis impersonator, though. To preserve the sanctity of the King, look-alikes are not permitted on Graceland's grounds. For a tie-in honeymoon, walk across the street to the recently opened Heartbreak Hotel (complete with a heart-shape swimming pool). Graceland 800/238-2000 or elvispresley.com; Heartbreak Hotel 877/777-0606 (Uh, let's see. No.)

Walk the Plank to Wedded Bliss. Become pirates for a day aboard The Reef Chief, a 65-foot wooden schooner in Stock Island, FL (near Key West). You can exchange rings beneath the skull and crossbones flag while your guests wear eye patches and faux parrots on their shoulders. 305/292-1345 or reefchief.com (Ok this is kind of cool. But I really like pirates.)

We're On Top of The World, Ma Top it all off with a marriage at the Sears Tower in Chicago, the largest occupied building in the world. With 360-degree views, the Top of the Tower on the 99th floor guarantees that you'll be on cloud nine on your wedding day. 312/993-9801 or sears-tower.com

Boldly Go Where Few Couples have Gone Before For die-hard Trekies, the only place on earth where you can have a personalized Star Trek wedding is aboard the USS Enterprise at the Las Vegas Hilton's Star Trek: The Experience. Vulcan ears and phaser guns are de rigueur, but Klingon witnesses are optional. 702/697-8753 (Dear God don't let Rob see this. )

Reveal Your Tell-Tale Hearts At The Enchanted Garden at the Edgar Allan Poe Museum in Richmond, VA, the quaint historical garden will inspire you to exchange poetic vows. 804/648-5523 (Very nice. I like this. )

Make like You're Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks Remember that romantic scene at the top of the Empire State Building from Sleepless in Seattle? Create your own love story and become husband and wife on the 80th or 102nd floor of this New York City landmark. 212/736-3100 x355 or esbny.com (Rob would NEVER go for this. )

Make Your Catch a Keeper Climb aboard a 160-year-old whaling ship that's permanently docked within Mystic Seaport in Mystic, CT. The ship's vintage figureheads and sea chantey musicians help create the illusion of a wedding at sea. 860/572-5305 (Kind of cool.)

Get Loaded on History Try the Lanthier Winery in Madison, IN for an intoxicating wedding. The winery is located in an 18th-century fort complete with gun stations, so you can blend your passions for wine, guns and history. 800/41-WINES (Combining wine and guns? Recipe for disaster!)

A Kayak Nut's Dream Wedding Get married on a kayak in Trinidad, CA. North Coast Adventures will give you and your sweetie the gear you need to glide over beautiful bodies of water like Trinidad Bay and the Klamath River Estuary. You can arrange to say "I do" while floating in a secluded sea cave in Mendocino, CA. 707/677-3124 or northcoastadventures.com (Excess "junk in the trunk" does NOT equal a great kayak experience. 'nuff said. )

Be Queen for a Day Live out your medieval fantasies and step back into 16th-century England at the Ohio Renaissance Festival at Harveysburg. The King and Queen wedding package includes a wedding officiant, leather pouches for the groomsmen and hand-blown perfume bottles for the bridesmaids. 513/731-9255 or renfestival.com/weddings.html (Now this I really like. Too bad it's not in MA.)

Just You, Him and Lots of Big, Red Rocks Hop a helicopter in Sedona, AZ, and land for a private ceremony in a secluded spot like the top of a mesa or the canyon at Red Rocks. After a champagne toast, the officiant and photographer depart in the helicopter and leave you to enjoy a picnic for two. The chopper returns after the meal to take you for a whirl around Sedona. 800/9-RED ROCK or weddingsinsedona.com (This is a really sweet one as well.)

Start a Wonderful Life Together Jimmy Stewart- style Get married at Rouki's restaurant in the actor's hometown of Indiana, PA. The restaurant is filled with memorabilia from It's a Wonderful Life and is always decorated for Christmas. (No worries-Mr. Potter's not on the guest list.) 724/465-7200 or roukis.com (Snore fest!)

You Two Crazy Kids Go up engaged and come down married on the ferris wheel at Valleyfair Family Amusement Park in Shakopee, MN. You, your groom and the minister sit in one car while your wedding party rides in surrounding cars. Afraid of heights? Have the ceremony on the merry-go-round. 800/FUN-RIDE or valleyfair.com (Just what we want - a wedding party where everyone is screaming or throwing up!)

Go Tell It on the Mountain Hold your ceremony at the Grand Teton Mountains at Jackson Hole, WY-13,770 feet above sea level. Postnuptials, you can ski down a black diamond run, if your knees will let you. Less seasoned skiers can do their recessional down the mountain by snowmobile or ski lift. 800/842-0391 or tetonmountainweddings.com (Great if you're marrying Picabo Street!)

Get High on Love Trade vows aboard a hot air balloon that flies above Portland, ME. You have some choice over where you take off, but the wind predicts where you'll land. So have your getaway car trail the balloon. hotairballoon.com (Definite "Awwwww!" romance factor!)

From the Ground Up Go undercover at the Bridal Cave beneath Thunder Mountain in the Missouri Ozarks (2 miles north of Camdenton, MO). This romantic underground wedding chapel is adorned with stalactites and unique onyx formations. The cavern's temperature hovers around a cool 60 degrees, so jackets are required. 573/346-2676 or bridalcave.com Stephen Fassi's DREAM wedding ()

Catch a Wave. With Anointed Weddings in Maui, you throw on your bathing suits, grab a surf board and jump into the ocean to pledge eternal love. The minister is an expert surfer, so along with a spouse, you might pick up some tips on hanging 10. 800/962-7622 or maui.net/~anointed (Like fer sure I like totally am like in love with you. )

Take the Plunge-Literally. If you're both thrill-seekers, why not jump out of a plane together? Skydiving Center in Ocean City, MD, promises an uplifting experience for the bride and groom. After you land, make a grand entrance to your on-ground ceremony with parachutes in tow. 410/213-1319 or skydiveoc.com (They forgot the byline followup story "The bride and groom spent their wedding night in bed- seperate beds with VERY large casts on their legs.")
