I got married here! It was, erm, VERY Portland! I recall being told to twirl around and utter "There's no place like home" three times and to then tap my heels in some strange homage to Judy Garland.

Our post ceremony parade consisted of the entire wedding party blocking traffic on Burnside with large 'HONK' signs and then waltzing through the (now closed) Burger King over the road playing bad muzac on a Walkman and external speakers mounted in a cardboard box, this was all much to the annoyance of the duty manager. A very memorable day on multiple levels.

Ah Portland my Portland...

I almost got married at the 24 Hour Church of Elvis! I think we ended up getting fortunes instead - marriage seemed awfully expensive at something like $2.00.
