(NAPSI)—As more and more young (and old) couples seek novel wedding sites, there’s been a significant increase in making wedding memories where America’s history was made. And one such special place is Valley Forge, in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania…Philadelphia’s biggest and most affluent bedroom.
Here, amidst the spectacular backdrop of 3,500-acre Valley Forge National Historical Park, the betrothed flock to Washington Memorial Chapel in search of open dates for exchanging vows. One of southeast Pennsylvania’s most popular and majestic wedding sites, the chapel’s rich decorative elements commemorate George Washington’s life and the nation’s earliest history. It’s also known for its exquisite statuary, wood carvings and soaring stained glass windows.
