Located in, well, the heart of the Castro at 18th Street and Hartford, they promise to get Party A and Party B hitched while celebrating you "as human beings, without judgment, without discrimination, and without shame."</p>

<p>Aw.</p>

<p>Also, how does one decide who gets to be Party A and who gets to be Party B?</p>

<p>Anyway, while we're not sure how late the chapel stay open -- they must be very busy since we have been unable to reach anyone at the chapel on the phone -- we hope its late; in fact, it should be available 24-hours a day. They're sure to make a killing off of the <a href="http://sfist.com/2008/06/17/photos_gay_marriage_begins_616.php">bridge and tunnel gays</a> hammered on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appletini">appletinis</a> keybumps.</p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
