Winter Park Wedding Chapel to Relocate"

"A historic Winter Park structure made a slow, stately move to a new home early Sunday. No, it's not the Capen House, which is set to begin floating across Lake Osceola on Tuesday. It's the Winter Park Wedding Chapel, which for decades was an African Methodist Episcopal church in the city's Hannibal Square neighborhood.

They watched the move anxiously and are looking forward to reopening at the new location in February."
