PORTLAND, OR – Couples getting married from around the world have been known to make the trip to the Post Office at Bridal Veil in the Columbia River Gorge and mail wedding announcements and invitations.

The post office is open once again Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays.
