One of the most popular wedding chapels in Portland, Brooks Hill Historic Church, is inviting couples to vote with their hearts this month by eloping for Obama. For October weddings, Brooks Hill is offering couples the option of donating 100 percent of all wedding package proceeds directly to Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign campaign.
With their prices ranging from $395 to $895, this is a sizable donation. I'm happy to be backing the candidate that people would want to link the most important event of their life to!
In a quote on his campaign Web site, Sen. Obama says, "I'm asking you to believe - not just in my ability to bring change in Washington - I am asking you to believe in yours." Now with this special wedding promotion, couples can change their lives while supporting Obama's campaign to transform this nation.
"Our country needs a new beginning, and I know that we will have it when Sen. Obama is inaugurated in January 2009," said Cindy Lou Banks, local musician and owner of the Brooks Hill Historic Church. "What better way is there for couples to support his election than eloping in October and forging their own new beginnings?"
Just something else for us Obama Supporters to be proud about. Can you imagine eloping for McCain? Like actually associating his campaign with your personal history? Umm .. no.
