Marine Corps Wedding

Of the many venues the Washington DC area offers for weddings, the Marine Corps Museum is one of my favorites.  Starting with the ceremony in the exquisite Semper Fidelis Chapel located in a woodland setting.  Dinner in the shadows of vintage Marine Corps aircraft creates a unique and unforgettable reception.

Totally random Rubik's Cube facts

1. Ernö Rubik invented the Cube in the spring of 1974 in his home town of Budapest, Hungary.

2. More than 300 million Rubik's Cubes have been sold worldwide. If all the cubes were placed on top of each other it would be enough to reach the North Pole from the South Pole!

3. 'Cubaholics' are said to suffer from 'Rubik's wrist' and 'Cubist's thumb'!

4. At the height of the Rubik's craze in the mid-1980s, it was estimated that one-fifth of the world's population had played the Cube.

Semper Fidelis Memorial Chapel

On October 22, 2009 the Marine Corps dedicated a new Chapel on a rise overlooking the National Museum of the Marine Corps, just outside the front gate of MCB Quantico, Virginia.

Nestled in a wooded area on a rise overlooking the museum, the non-denominational Chapel, officially known as the Semper Fidelis Memorial Chapel, will provide a special space for meditation, prayer and remembrance, as well as commemorative services such as funerals and weddings.
