Amarillo’s Quirkiest Ceremony: Wedding at a Gas Station

There are things you see happen around our city, and you think, 'Yep, that screams Amarillo.' Of course, when people come to visit, they want to do things in our city that really give them the Amarillo experience.

The Landmarks That Define Our City

That is why you see people visiting the Cadillac Ranch. That is why the parking lot is always full at The Big Texan. It is also not surprising that you see a lot of visitors at Palo Duro Canyon. It's just some of the things you have to do when you are in our city.

When an out-of-towner first pulls into town, their first stop might be our Buc-ee’s, which, since opening a year ago, has become a must-see. Live here a while, and you’ll quickly spot plenty of things that scream Amarillo.

What Makes Amarillo... Well, Amarillo

One of those things is a Toot'n Totum. The name itself gets people talking. We just had something happen at one of our Toot'n Totums that has never happened before. The funny thing is, I am surprised that this is a first.

The Story Behind the Wedding at Toot’n Totum #33

They had their first-ever marriage ceremony at the Toot'n Totum there on Grand Street. It may not be the most romantic thing you've ever seen until you realize that the bride works at Tootn' Totum. Maybe the couple met there. That does make it romantic.

The best thing is to think of all the money they saved on the potential cost of a wedding. I think this was a brilliant move. They got married, which was their ultimate goal. They can now start their lives together without the huge expense of a wedding.
