Location & date of wedding:
The Ice Chapel in the Ice Hotel in Quebec, Canada — February 7th 2009

What made our wedding offbeat:
Our marriage was under the theme of "ice and snow." It took place in the ice chapel of the Ice Hotel in Quebec Canada. The structure is made of snow, and two walls and the benches made of ice, with animal skin to make them comfortable.
