      Hi GO!

      I pledged $200 for my "wedding" (just vows, will get legally married in Mexico) and am trying to schedule it. I sent Kevin my desired dates but haven't heard back. How do I go about this?

      Hope this gets fully funded!!!

      Cheers
      A

      Here is the answer to Doug's question:

      The wedding chapel will exist for a maximum of two months. Currently we are scheduled to close at the end of July, but if there is a lot of interest then will be continue it until the end of August.

      If I donated money now, could the wedding take place next year? I just got engaged but am not looking to do anything until next year. That being said, this sounds like it could be great. I'd put $500 into this if I could have it next year.

      Here are answers to questions:

      Eleanor - You could have a wedding party at Grand Opening. Bring friends and family. It's a great honeymoon alternative.

      Laura - We'll perform same sex marriages now for the experience. Once same sex marriages are approved we'll provided legal weddings then too.

      Jen - If you donate $500 and we don't reach our goal then you get your money back. No one is charged until we reach the goal. There is no risk.

      Quick question... If I donate $500 for the deluxe wedding package and The Wedding Chapel doesn't reach it's $3000 goal by July 1, do I get my $500 back? I love the idea of this space, it's exactly the thing me and my fiance (hate that word) would be into, but, $500 is kind of a big risk for us. Thanks!
