I enjoy that game Florida or Germany*? It's so true - if there's a really weird news story it almost certainly comes from one of the two.
This one comes from Florida:
A store north of Tampa is offering weddings from a drive-through window. Couples who pull up with a marriage license, a witness over the age of 18 and $20 can tie the knot without turning off their car engine.
The store's owner, Rev. Sharon Burnett, 58, says the behind-the-wheel weddings are "no different than standing at the courthouse." Burnett, a notary public and minister, opened her Mother Earth Goddess metaphysical store in a former dry-cleaning business in early July. At first she did not know what to do with the sliding glass doors where customers used to pick up their clothes; then she thought of the wedding drive-through.
She has yet to officiate any in-vehicle vows.
It's especially funny that she didn't set out to do weddings, she just decided that she might as well use her drive-up window. I hope nobody really wants to get married in their car! It seems kind of lonely to me.
Have a great weekend! Don't forget to come back on Monday for a week-long spooky wedding special!

Actually, there have always been drive-thru weddings in Florida... there used to be a drive-thru chapel called "Vows" in Sunrise, Florida, the town next to Weston, Florida, where I lived for ten years. It was pretty tacky, LOL.
