One idea we're floating (heh) is to have the ceremony (and reception, if the guest list permits), on the Elissa. She is a restored 1877 merchant barque currently moored at the Texas Seaport Museum in Galveston, and one of the oldest ships still sailing. I toured the Elissa as a child, and it was way cool. Unique, historic, and beautiful--what else could we possibly ask for in a venue?
Oh yeah, affordable. According to the Texas Seaport museum's website, $500 or $750 (weekends) gets you the ship, museum, and pier for a whole evening! (The ship is open to the public during the day.)
This is currently my number one choice. I'm too nervous to call or write. Sarah's going to email them later and ask the important questions. Are our dates available? What's included in the rental fee? Do they allow alcohol? Are they cool with a couple of girls tying the knot on board? Etc...
