But if the Falls and all the surrounding attractions aren't enough, why not create a real story to tell when you get back on Monday? Get married!Niagara is known as the honeymoon capital of the world, after all. Just bring some ID and $40, and a marriage license can be yours at the city clerk's office (745 Main St.).

There is a 24-hour waiting period -- perhaps an ideal time to check out the offerings on the Niagara Wine Trail, so as to avoid any troublesome second thoughts.

Then you and your newly betrothed will be ready to take the plunge, either in one of the myriad kitschy wedding chapels, right alongside the rushing waters, or even in a helicopter or balloon, tethered 400 feet over Niagara Falls.

And forget the wedding cake -- just cap it all off with a ice cream cone at the iconic Twist O' the Mist (18 Niagara St.). It will certainly be a weekend to remember.
