Wacky wedding venues

 
 
When a church or city hall seems too ordinary, creative couples are getting married in nontraditional venues. From fast-food joints to natural wonders to seriously creepy locales, these offbeat wedding sites are turning vows into wows.

The fast-food giant has gone so far as to begin offering "McWeddings" to Hong Kong couples next year.
While customers witnessed, an Ohio couple got hitched at Mickey D's. Why there?
