YES
WE CAN, YES WE DO.
To celebrate California’s same-sex
marriage “enlightenment,” the Crescent Hotel
in Beverly Hills is offering the “You’re
Darn Right We Do!” package especially for same-sex
couples tying the knot in California. The deal is priced
at $617.08 (as in June 17, 2008, the date it became legal
for same-sex couples to obtain marriage licenses in the
Golden State) and it includes a marriage license and wedding
arrangements, plus an overnight honeymoon stay in a king
room—complete with chocolate-covered strawberries,
flowers, and a bottle of Veuve Clicquot Champagne. If
a quiet ceremony isn’t enough, book the hotel for
a Champagne and hors d’oeuvres reception for up to
100 guests at $125 a head. Host a reception for 50 people
or more and the license, ceremony, and honeymoon stay
is included. You don’t have to be a California resident
to marry there, and the Crescent Hotel packages are ongoing.
