Want to get married in a place of unique ceremony that is as unique as you two? Forget the same place ol'-même'ol and go for some something wet, wild and wacky.
Wet
You have many choices when it comes to marriages of water. You can have an underwater wedding in Hawaii, a wedding, snorkeling in the Caribbean, or a wedding on a tall ship in Chicago. Or, you can press the envelope just a little further and go for something truly unique – a marriage in the only underwater hotel's world.
The Jules 'Undersea Lodge in Key Largo, Florida is truly underwater, with guests having to scuba diving 21 feet beneath the surface of the sea and enter through an opening in the back of the box. Wedding ceremonies are held inside the pavilion, which consists of a wetland room entry, two bedrooms and a common room, which is the combination of a kitchen, dining room and lounge. Imagine your honeymoon underwater, snuggled in your bed while watching the fish pass by your window.
Your wedding ceremony is conducted by a notary public, who dives for the service, followed by a toast and cake cutting, which, yes, remained dry. For dinner, you are offered a caviar appetizer and choice of two entrees, either lobster or steak and a salad of hearts of palm and dessert. Your meal is prepared by a chef who dives to the lodge. The chef will dive underwater also at the lodge the next morning and prepare breakfast. The Jules' Undersea Lodge wedding is perfect for those who want to escape to somewhere unusual.
The cost of the Jules Undersea Lodge is $ 1495 plus taxes. If you have any extra wedding guests will be charged a $ 60 per guest. Call (305) 451-2353 for more information.
Wild
What could be more wild of a marriage or a forced marriage in a haunted hotel?
With a wedding and honeymoon in Oatman, Arizona, you get both. Where's Oatman, you ask? This is a Historic Ghost Town located 20 miles southeast of Laughlin, Nevada, once a prosperous mining town during the gold rush. Oatman today is a tourist town with daily wild west shootouts and shotgun weddings. Oatman is also where you find the Oatman Hotel, where, In 1939, Clark Gable and Carole Lombard spent their wedding night.
They say the Oatman Hotel is haunted by the spirits of many including, some say Clark Gable and Carole Lombard, a former chambermaid and an Irish miner who lived there. It is said that the staff and guests have heard the spirits of Gable and Lombard, laughing at their honeymoon room. There are also reports of the sound of bagpipes from the floor of the Irish miner, whose spirit is called "Oatia"
For more information about shotgun weddings, you can call 928-768-8063 or 928-768-3839. For bookings Oatman Hotel you can call 928-768-4408.
Another place that many consider marriage as haunted is Thayer's Historic Bed and Breakfast in Annandale, Minnesota, owned by a psychic, Sharon Gammell. Thayer's specializes in interactive mystery dinners, ghost hunts, psychic readings and small weddings, which, if you want can be officiated by Gammell. Built in 1895, Thayer's Historic Bed and Breakfast is said to be the home of several ghosts, including the original owners, Caroline and Gus Thayer and some of their friends. And for you cat lovers, Thayer is also home three cats in the house ghost (and some cats live).
Annandale is just over an hour drive from International Airport Twin Cities. For more information, call 800-944-6595.
Wacky
For one of the wackiest wedding experiences, try Star Trek Experience at the Las Vegas Hilton, where you can have your ceremony on the deck of the USS Enterprise 1701-D. You minister will perform your marriage ceremony bearing Starfleet uniforms while intergalactic wedding music plays in the background. According to the wedding package you choose, you can have your choice of one three of Star Trek characters present at your wedding: Klingon, Ferengi or BORG.
You can also choose to have your wedding reception in Quark's Bar or Lounge Captain, depending on the size of your wedding party. You can choose to receive different menu, but I had no doubt go for the Romulan Warbird, which is a marinated chicken breast served with wild rice pilaf and seasonal vegetables. Wedding cakes come with the logo on Star Trek them.
Hopefully some of the ideas of marriage above will be used, either for you or get you thinking about other creative and unique ways to celebrate your marriage. Perhaps marriages wet, wild and wacky is not your thing. Maybe eloping to Hawaii or Las Vegas is what you want. Whatever you decide to do, make it special.
