Just the other day I was sitting in the fair burg of Florence (antiques capital of Colorado and a most quirky, zippy and fun place) and thinking: Wouldn't it be nice if I could attend a shotgun wedding?
Actually I was not thinking that. I never thought I'd even type those words. But now it is possible.
As most regular blog readers know, I've dubbed Florence, the unofficial steampunk capital of Colorado. Why? Because I can. It's my blog and I can write anything I want.
Truly though, this town has one of the most fantastic and varied steampunk festivals anywhere.
Carriage rides, costume contests, games for the kids, arts, crafts, steampunkalicious cuisine and more.
BUT this year, there are new additions. Shotgun weddings. And marriage vow renewals--steampunk style of course.
This year the Escape In Time To Steampunk And Wine Festival is April 22 and 23.
It's never too early to start planning for that shotgun wedding or marriage vow renewal.
I wonder if there will be any Elvis impersonators, steampunk style, officiating. I can only hope...
