Say 'I Do' At This Iconic Oregon Donut Chain That Hosts Weddings
Weddings are a traditional part of many cultures. It's not uncommon for the happy couple to do something special for both the ceremony and what they're serving, as this sets the tone of the event and speaks for their partnership. This is especially true as the food is one of the biggest parts of the day that wedding guests will remember. In that spirit, there are many ways to make both the wedding and its food as unique as the couple getting married. You can add a groom's cake, which helps to celebrate and recognize the lucky fellow in a sweet way, order a wedding cake from an uncommon place, or have it made from unexpected ingredients like blue cheese and Earl Grey tea. You could also host the ceremony and reception at an unexpected venue, one of which could be Voodoo Doughnut, the iconic Oregon-based establishment. In addition to its menu of eccentric donuts, Voodoo offers patrons the opportunity to host their special day at 11 of its 23 locations across the United States, including ones in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Washington. There are three package tiers to do so, ranging from an Intimate Gathering, which includes up to nine guests and a dozen donuts, to a Sweet Celebration, which covers up to 40 guests and four dozen donuts. Adding to the meaningful day, all of Voodoo Doughnut's wedding ceremonies include two 12-inch, custom-made newlywed dolls; a heart centerpiece donut; and enough cups of its signature Magic Roast brewed coffee for your guests. Certainly, whichever one suits the happy couple, it would prove to be an occasion to remember.

However, if donuts aren't your thing, plenty of other fast food and restaurant chains offer their spin on quirky, one-of-a-kind weddings. The most comparable to what Voodoo Doughnut offers is likely the Taco Bell Cantina in Las Vegas. Here, the fast food chain took inspiration from the city's culture of fast and easy weddings, and added its spicy flair to it, providing the soon-to-be newlyweds with Taco Bell-themed wedding souvenirs, a Taco 12-Pack, and a Cinnamon Delights cake. Fans of the Vegas-style wedding may also be interested in booking their special ceremony at the Las Vegas Denny's location. The popular diner chain offers similar use of its chapel, a champagne toast, a cake made from its Pancake Puppies, among other celebratory items. Interestingly, many of these quirky wedding ceremonies have the potential to be legally recognized, but aren't automatically so. It's important to note that the happy couple may have to obtain their marriage license before the booking date. Ultimately, while it being legally confirmed might depend on the venue (Voodoo Doughnut's catered wedding packages include legal ceremonies), most will likely still happily throw the ceremony even without the license present. Sure, it would just be a celebration of the couple's relationship, but it would be perfect for vow renewals — sprinkles and all. Read the original article on Chowhound.

No snoring, no gargling and no goatees? Here are the 28 weirdest laws in Louisiana
In Louisiana, there are a number of strange, and antiquated, laws that are still within the state's legal system. As for Louisiana's antiquated laws, these are laws that are still technically within the legal code, but are no longer enforced or considered relevant in modern society. Because of a foundation in the Napoleonic Code, Louisiana's legal system is unique and complex compared to the rest of the U.S., which is based on English Common Law. The Napoleonic Code is a comprehensive French legal code established by Napoleon Bonaparte, and it reflected principles like equality before the law and the protection of property rights, according to Fiveable. Whether it's harsh consequences, laws for unique circumstances or strange prohibitions, Louisiana has a few weird laws within its legal code. It's illegal to be an alcoholic in Sulphur.

It's illegal to tie your alligator to a fire hydrant. Gargling in public is prohibited. In Jefferson Parish, it's illegal to feed hogs garbage unless it's cooked first. It's illegal to have a snake within 200 years of a Mardi Gras parade. Biting someone with false teeth can be classified as aggravated battery. In Sulphur, it's illegal to use obscene language on the telephone. An old ordinance states that goatees are illegal unless you pay a special license fee in order to wear one in public. Another old ordinance declares it illegal for a woman to drive a car unless her husband is waving a flag in front of the vehicle. It's illegal to dare someone to lay down on railroad tracks that are owned by someone else. Fake wrestling matches are prohibited. Minors aren't allowed to go to businesses with coin-operated foosball machines unless they're accompanied by an adult in Jefferson Parish. It's illegal to wear masks in public in Louisiana, except during Mardi Gras. It's illegal to steal someone else's alligators and/or crawfish. Snoring is prohibited unless all bedroom windows are closed and locked. Making false promises is punishable by law. Chasing fish in a city park is illegal in New Orleans It's illegal to ride a bike with only one hand in New Orleans. It's illegal to mock or heckle boxers during a match. It's illegal to shoot lasers at law enforcement officers. Urinating in the water supply could land you up to 20 years in prison. Taxi drivers are prohibited from making love in the front seat of their taxi during shifts. Presley Bo Tyler is a reporter for the Louisiana Deep South Connect Team for Gannett/USA Today.

My trip inside ‘world Voodoo capital' that's become dark holiday hotspot for Brits who flock to watch grisly sacrifices
Daredevil tourist recalls his chilling visit to the Temple of Pythons where dozens of deadly snakes slither around worshippers LAND OF THE DEAD My trip inside 'world Voodoo capital' that's become dark holiday hotspot for Brits who flock to watch grisly sacrifices Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MASKED goblin figure chases two unsuspecting tourists along the busy streets, shrouded in a long multicoloured cloak. A few feet away, a priest carries a goat, preparing to sacrifice its blood to Voodoo gods and share its meat with other believers. 15 A Zangbeto 'goblin' guardian' chases tourists in the world's 'Voodoo capital' Credit: Kennedy News and Media 15 An altar appears to be covered in the blood of a sacrificed animal Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media 15 Voodoo dolls are used to cast love spells Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media 15 Brit tourist Keiran Brown poses with a snake around his neck after his visit to the Temple of Pythons Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media Welcome to the Voodoo capital of the world: Ouidah, in Benin, West Africa. Here the 'goblin' guardians, known as the Zangbeto, roam the streets wielding wooden swords - ready to ward off evil in both the human and spirit world. Visitors flock to the tiny city, which has a population of 162,000, to witness sacrificial rituals and buy artefacts that are believed to bring good fortune, such as the heads of dogs and other animals. Despite its lack of attention in most mainstream holiday brochures, 337,000 tourists are reported to have visited Benin in 2019 and the numbers are believed to be growing. These so-called 'dark tourists' include Brits like Viktor Wynd - owner of London-based tour company Gone With the Wynd, who takes up to three tours a year - and Kieran Brown, an ex-barman turned TikTok travel influencer. Benin, for its part, is happy to welcome intrigued visitors, with priests charging for their guidance and private rituals, and public festivals and Voodoo events charging admission fees. Kieran, 30, from Sidcup, Kent, visited the country during his tour along Africa's coastline and recalls his nerve-racking encounters at local landmarks including the Temple of Pythons. Inside a sealed room at a religious sanctuary, locals worship snakes instead of fearing them, and Kieran encountered dozens of the creatures slithering around. Snakes are said to represent the Voodoo god Da, who is believed to bring fertility and life to its worshippers. The priest even put one around Kieran's neck but insisted the potentially deadly pythons do not hurt humans. Inside the Voodoo capital of the world where masked 'goblins' chase tourists and dogs' heads are displayed on spikes Kieran tells The Sun: "There was a thick door, the guy opened it, and there were around 60 to 70 pythons. "He put them around our neck and they seemed pretty chilled. "I didn't feel any energy and I don't believe in that but the people in the town are heavy believers. "That's the most popular religion in that side of the world, there is more Voodoo than Christianity." 'Land of the dead' It's thought 60million people around the world practice Voodoo, which is believed to have originated in Ouidah and where around 60 per cent are said to be followers. Voodoo - known traditionally as Vodoun, or Vodún - was officially declared a religion in Benin in 1996, and the annual festival, on January 10, attracts worshippers from all over the globe. Followers believe spirits control both the human world and the 'land of the dead', with different deities relied on to protect everything from villages to trees and rivers. They not only worship them from small shrines in their homes but they also attend public and private rituals led by community priests, who can be male or female. Voodoo dolls are sold at markets and sellers even claim the infamous figurines are able to make people fall in love with you. Snakes are worshipped as gods and animal sacrifice - including that of dogs - is commonplace and is often part of Voodoo initiation ceremonies. Dark arts During his visit, Kieran also recalls his encounter with one of the striking Zangbeto. These oddly dressed, masked figures act as the unofficial police on the streets of Ouidah, and are believed to keep residents and the religion's witches and spirits in line. Their name itself comes from 'zan', meaning night, and 'gbeto' that refers to person or people - so translates to 'people of the night', although they now appear in daylight hours as well. Kieran said: "When we were there we were walking around and there was a man dressed up as a Zangbeto and people were trying to get close to him and he chased people. 15 Voodoo dolls on sale in the city of Ouidah Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media 15 Masks and preserved animal parts are sold on the street Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media 15 The Voudoum festival takes place every January "We were walking through a street and he saw us. Because we were the only white people we stood out. "It was a man dressed up like a goblin, he had a thick mask on. "I can't explain it but he was dressed like a monster, people were running away when it came close. "People were trying to annoy it by running towards it and eventually it would snap and start chasing you, it seemed to be like a game, everyone was chanting." Temple of Pythons Ouidah is home to the religion's Mecca, The Sacred Forest, where trees are considered holy and capable of granting wishes. Due to the rituals of spells and sacrifices, parallels have been drawn to witchcraft, which was greatly feared in 13th to 15th century Britain and led to the execution of those accused of practising it. However, Voodoo is now recognised as a protected religious belief in Britain under the Equality Act 2010. And expert Viktor explains that Voodoo remains an everyday feature throughout Benin - visible on the streets and with most people's homes featuring aspects of the religion. 15 A statue representing past kings in the town of Ouidah Credit: AFP 15 Snakes are worshipped in the Temple of Pythons Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media 15 A Voodoo priest rides a cow before the animal is sacrificed Credit: AFP Viktor, who is also a Voodoo artefact collector and runs The Viktor Wynd Museum in Hackney, East London, said: "Wherever you go in Benin, everyone has a Voodoo altar and everyone goes to the Voodoo priests. "Each person has one main Voodoo spirit that they serve. "People dressed as Zangbeto do these dances to regulate the spirit world and the world of the living. They're intermediaries with the other world. "There's always something happening so a few weeks before we go we'll WhatsApp the priests and get all sorts of interesting invitations. "There's Voodoo in the Caribbean and it's very underground but in Benin it takes centre stage. That's why people find it so interesting. "It's fought back against the dominance of Muslims and Christians, who have marginalised the religion in other parts of the world." Dark side of religion While tourists in Benin are offered goat meat and trinkets with animal heads, over the years Voodoo sacrifices have been linked to much darker occurrences across the world. Notoriously, in 2001, a young African boy's torso was found in the River Thames in London. His head, arms and legs had been removed. Police investigators at the time believed that the killing was part of a Voodoo ritual. It's believed the body part may have been in the water for up to ten days and tests showed he lived in West Africa shortly before his death. Police believe he was trafficked to the UK, specifically for the purpose of a sacrifice. One factor that linked the torso to Voodoo was it had been carefully dressed in bright orange shorts before being dumped. Police eventually discovered that the colour was seen as powerful and used in specific sacrificial spells by those who practised Voodoo. However, due to the state of the body when it was found and cops facing a wall of silence during their investigation, the mystery remains unsolved. While Benin is credited as being the origin of Voodoo, it has spread to neighbouring countries such as Nigeria, Togo and even the Caribbean. In Togo, Kieran visited the world's biggest Voodoo market, where he found skulls of various animals - including dogs. The traveller spoke to the local Witch Doctor, who said each skull has different properties and are often prescribed to cure illnesses. Kieran said: "That region of the world in particular, I went to the world's biggest Voodoo market in Toga, where you can buy every type of animal skull. "It was a bit creepy, we were walking and there was every skull you can buy. "We spoke to the Witch Doctor, he explained it's normal in this culture. When I posted a video people were horrified but they could be horrified with some of the things in Western culture. "There were Voodoo dolls and spells, he said it is possible to make another person fall in love with you, but I didn't believe it." 15 A Voodoo shrine in Benin Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media 15 Another Zangbeto in the streets of the city Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media 15 The market sells macabre charms, skulls and animal skins Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media Goat slaughter Every year on January 10 the Vodoun (Voodoo) Festival is celebrated across Benin and especially in the city of Ouidah, where practitioners gather to honour their spirits with sacrifices, dancing and singing. The festival begins with the slaughter of a goat to honour the religion's spirits. The blood is used as an offering to the spirits and the animals - such as chickens, goats, sheep and cows - are then cooked and shared amongst the worshippers. Despite experiencing the 'creepiness' of the voodoo market and rituals, Kieran would recommend Voodoo tourism to Brits who want to explore that part of the world. Meanwhile, Viktor is keen to share his passion for the area and religion with the world and invites those who are intrigued to his museum and to join his unorthodox holiday tours. 15 Viktor Wynd is a collector of Voodoo paraphernalia Credit: Gone With The Wynd
