Hello fellow Des Moines knotties! This is my first post on the DSM board so let me briefly introduce myself. I am recently engaged and originally from DSM but I live in Dallas, TX. We are planning to get married in September 2012 in DSM.
So now for my question...I have been searching the internet high and low for places to have our ceremony. We don't want to get married in a church and although we would love to have an outdoor wedding I don't want to have to worry about weather. I found The Center at Ankeny Memorial and loved the decor and thought it would be perfect for our ceremony but then realized that it's primary use is a funeral home and then they book events there outside of the memorial services. I know churches are used for both weddings and funerals but just can't decide whether it would be weird to get married in a "funeral home."
Hopefully you all can give me your opinions and help me decide what to do!
