Post CommentHey backers,
Things have been going pretty well over here in the Lower East Side (thanks to you) and we wanted to provide you with an updated image from the Wedding Chapel. We've also included a photo of the Donor Wall, which proudly hangs at the front entrance of the store.
If you'd like to see more photos from the Wedding Chapel, please click on the link below:

Thanks again and hope to see you at the Chapel,

Posted project update #6Open House at the Wedding Chapel
Hello Backers and Kickstarter supporters,
There's good news and bad news.
The good news is that we've completed 12 weddings at the chapel since we opened on July 12th and we've gotten some great media coverage (see below). The bad news is that some of you haven't seen the space yet. For those of you who haven't seen the space we're giving you an opportunity to attend an "open house" wedding that we're having tomorrow, Friday July 31st from 7:00 - 8:30pm. Anyone who's interested in seeing the space or just wants to witness the beauty of marriage should definitely drop by. It would be great to meet the people that helped get this project off the ground and it will give you an opportunity to see how the weddings proceed.

Posted project update #5First wedding a success!
Post CommentHello Backers,
Thanks to your pledges, our first couple biked off (literally) into wedded bliss on Sunday, July 12th. The ceremony at Wedding Chapel was a huge success, complete with live video streaming for family members around the world and an emotional first dance under the rotating disco ball. We were very proud to share in Josh and Sandra’s special day and look forward to more nuptials throughout the summer.
