With the average wedding costing more than $31,000, a Texas brewery wants to help out.

At the Big Texas Beer Fest on March 31 to April 1 in Dallas, Saint Arnold Brewing Company is offering to marry people and provide a two-day honeymoon in Houston.

The main requirements are that you’d have to bring a legal marriage license in hand and actually buy tickets to the festival, which are $35 for general admission for March 31 and $39 for general admission on April 1.

“Saint Arnold” himself will perform the ceremony, and the brewery says he’s legally ordained.

The “beer-filled Houston honeymoon” includes a hotel for two nights, a VIP tour of Saint Arnold and a beer dinner at Underbelly, which is owned by James Beard Award-winning chef Chris Shepherd.

The date of the honeymoon will be later determined by the couple, hotel, restaurant and brewery staff.

Saint Arnold stresses this would be a legal ceremony. Hesitant brides or grooms need not apply.
