Update #6: Open House at the Wedding Chapel

Posted on July 30, 2009

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.
