Interesting story:
The Roman god of the forge presided over plenty of “I Do’s” on Valentine’s Day.
Seven weddings were held before the 50-ton Vulcan statue in suburban Birmingham on Sunday.
Spokeswoman Audra Bean says the couples wed as part of Vulcan Park’s “I Do With A View” event.
This is the first time the park has offered couples weddings packages.
For $300 the couples got an officiated ceremony with professional photos and a champagne toast with cake among other wedding staples.
They also got one impressive witness. The Vulcan statue has been perched atop Red Mountain since 1939.
… of course, given the status of Vulcan’s marriage to Venus, I’m not sure he’d be the best ‘overseer’ …
