LAWRENCE, Kan. — A Lawrence couple who sought permission to get married in a local cemetery will have to find another venue to proclaim their undying love.
Abbie Stutzer told The Lawrence Journal-World in an email she thought Oak Hill Cemetery would provide a "nice, memorable" venue for a Halloween evening wedding this fall.
The Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department denied the request about a week after she submitted her proposal. Mark Hecker, assistant director of Parks and Recreation, said the cemetery wedding just wasn't a good idea, particularly if a funeral was also scheduled for that day.
Hecker said getting married on land owned by Parks and Recreation actually doesn't take a special permit, though reservations are required for certain facilities.
