[QUOTE=drachillix] You could do the monster LV hilton [Star Trek Wedding](http://www.startrekexp.com/wedding_packages.php) Scroll down to the bottom for the big packages…uniformed charachters present, receptions at quarks bar, the works. I have been on the bridge area where they hold them…its a beautiful setup. [/QUOTE] This is a good possibility, we had discussed a Trekkie wedding. We could do any of them listed, but between us we only have about 2 people who would come to LV to be there. So a Vulcan Vow would be the likely choice. Looking to keep it under a few thousand all told, but we could go higher if it was cool. [QUOTE=Words on the Interweb] I saw the link, but the date on the article is April, 2003. 🙂 I’ve been to the Soundgarden since then, several times; as far as I’m aware, the hours listed on the Seattle Park & Rec Dept site are still accurate - I guess the best way to know for sure would be to put in a phone call to NOAA. [/QUOTE] I saw the date on the article after I posted it. I was there last January when my son was doing the Polar Bear swim and it looked pretty closed at that time. ---

[QUOTE=MacGyverInSeattle] I met my soul mate about 6 months ago and we are ready to get hitched. Didn’t meet on the dope however. :rolleyes: We both are nerdy, MontyPythonesque, middle aged, geeks. It is my second marriage and her third, we are both sure it will be our last as we are perfect for each other. We are looking for a; memorable, funny, weird, different; place, time, method to get married. We are not religious in any way. We have no interest in scuba or sky diving or running with large male bovine. Thoughts that had come up are. Married by Elvis in Las Vegas, on Halloween in costume (it is on a weekday this year) , on a small cruise ship by the captain. At a [Bed and Breakfast](http://www.guidetosanjuans.com/listings/index.cfm?action=showSub&catID=2&subcatID=151&startrange=All&endrange=All&substart=M&subend=S¬ify=1). We will have a reception / party later for everyone so the marriage ceremony need only be attended by us and the marriager person. Any cool ideas?? [/QUOTE] Do they still have the pirate invasion on Shilshole? how about in pirate costume by one of the captains there? In the little underground part of the Salmon ladder at the Ballard Locks? At the top of the Space Needle? Gosh, I can think of a million ideas in Seattle, but if you want to go all out, my fantasy wedding (which hubby and I are thinking of doing for our first anniversary – we got married on leap year day, so that will be next year) is at the Parthenon in Nashville. It’s a gorgeous park, but if we can arrange for it to be inside, under the knowing gaze of Athena, how cool would that be? We may even opt for full Greek dress if we can pull it off 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-need-to-get-married-somewhere-out-of-the-ordinary/418030.md?page=1)
