Jim and Pam’s wedding featured last week in America’s favorite mockumentary television series “The Office” has set a new benchmark of exchanging vows for all the to-be married couples – In the presence of mesmerizing Niagara Falls whose beauty alone is sufficient to make a wedding ceremony look grand. Who says you need a wedding planner to arrange an opulent wedding when the most marvelous creation of nature offers you an opportunity to say “I Do” in a special manner? All you have to do is board the “Maid of The Mist” that will take you to the falls with your better half. It is one of the most popular boat rides and a prominent tourist attraction during any Niagara Falls Tours.
The bond between “Maid of The Mist” and romance goes long back. After the Civil War, Niagara Falls became an attractive destination amongst newly wed couples who used to enjoy the boat ride on their honeymoon. It was the place for couples to get away and be isolated from the world. After World War I, several motels sprung up near the falls which allowed the couples to take their car along with them for a vacation. It still is one of the most popular honeymoon destinations.
The first Maid of the Mist launched in 1846 was closed shortly thereafter because tourists preferred the brand-new suspension bridge that was built between the U.S. and Canadian sides of the falls. Today, it takes you on a memorable journey that leaves every visitor in awe of the majestic falls. Tourists also have the option of viewing the falls from the American side by traveling from East Coast to the border which is mostly included in vacation packages like Niagara Falls Tours from New York or Tour Niagara Falls from Boston.
“Maid of The Mist” ride is operational between April 1st and November 1st, because Ontario Hydro controls the water level at the falls to ensure power is generated throughout the winter. To all the future Jims and Pams, jubilate the happiest moment of your lives with the roar of the falls. Begin your new journey by riding into the mist!
