a little nontraditional

I believe the majority of wedding guests picture a church ceremony. Walking up the aisle while the organ plays The Wedding March is the image I always had for my own wedding, but there are so many options. Here are three nontraditional Grand Rapids locations for a unique + beautiful ceremony setting. Both couples did an amazing job picking their location--click on the their names for more photos of these Grand Rapids landmarks.

I love our bridge :) and I love the idea of not always to have the traditional church... although I think photos from the churches are absolutely stunning! Thanks for the feature Aletha!

Love the bridge location! Now if only you had some unique beach/waterfront locations for the Holland/ Grand Haven area ;)

Alabama has a lot of covered bridges. I've always wanted to see a wedding in one. Don't you think that would be lovely?

Had to laugh when I saw the bridge picture! So glad to see some great memories being made on that bridge! My memories are not as good-walking that bridge on frigid January mornings to get to work in college!
