Artsy Here's What You Get With a $2 Church of Elvis Wedding
Posted by Sarah Mirk on Tue, Sep 14, 2010 at 10:45 AM
For $25, Pierce will legally marry you and the spouse of your choice outside the coin-op gallery on NW Couch. But the steal-of-a-deal is the $2 non-legal wedding you can buy straight from the machine (the wiring is supposed to be worked out this week, at least). Here's what you get for a measly eight quarters:
• Two neon rings
• Tiny bag of rice
• Pinky-size condom
• Photo of your wedding (not real photo)
• Photo of your wedding night (not real photo)
• Photo of the father of the bride (who resembles Rip Torn)
• Levi and Bristol's Handy Divorce Kit
• One Church of Elvis dollar
• Two wedding announcements
• One sticker
So, thrifty lovebirds, make your way to NW 5th and Couch.
