Today a newly wed couple wrote in to tell us about their wedding at Victorian Lace Bed & Breakfast in Marion, Iowa.
"We went to Victorian Lace to get Married and spend the night in the honeymoon suite, WOW we had a great time Reverend James performed a very romantic service, it was light and had a little humor. we both cried just a little. The Honeymoon suite was more then we expected; Jacuzzi whirlpool, free beer, and the heated pool was great. This was a great wedding and the start of a wonderful Honeymoon.
Rev. James goes the extra mile and includes in his $175 wedding a beautiful old-fashioned Iowa wedding license for couples as a special keepsake. He believes, "A wedding is a celebration, not a funeral, so I make it fun."
The innkeeper has a romance of his own as he returned to Iowa from California a few years ago and married his kindergarden sweetheart, Renee.
Innkeepers all over the United States offer economical wedding packages in their destination towns and bucolic villages and while most are not ministers, they know who to bring to the inn to perform a perfect wedding.
