In the small Irving Park neighborhood which is filled with delightful old homes (see yesterday's post), and which is close to downtown St. Park, there is a well-landscaped central park area. The central features are a beautiful fountain and this gazebo. A number of young people I know who economized on their wedding held their ceremony and reception there. A great idea!

I like the contrast between the gran house and the idea of a simple ceremony in this lovely gazebo.
the sight of many a prom photo op!
Looks like a great area for any gathering.
What a lovely place for a wedding. Fingers crossed for all those who choose it that the weather behaves.
Cute gazebo! I'm going to have to get down to Irving Park!
Very midwestern! I love it.
I'm still trying to process a "wedding poem" by Edgar Allan Poe... : ) Love it!
Nice photo. I love the shadows and the light. I love small parks like this.
It certainly looks like a nice place for a wedding. I bet you could really spruce it up with ribbons and flowers!
The name Irving Park is familiar to me, but I can't recall being there. Love those old neighborhoods in the Twin Cities...there's something solidly appealing to them that probably goes back to my childhood.
I can see why couples would use this park and gazebo for a wedding ceremony!
Charming!!!
Lovely structure, (its name here in Mexico is Quiosco) both words are great. And the sounds of Poe are superb!
What a grand structure, perfect for wedding ceremonies.
I have witnessed one wedding ceremony at this very gazebo about 7-8 years ago. Until then, I hadn't realized just how many others have also been married here.
