While watching the new Star Trek movie the other day, we came to the scene when Spock was at the Vulcan High court and declined an offer to study at the Vulcan Academy when Matt says, "Hey, isn't that where Garrett got married?"
To which I thought, "What? We were just at the Vulcan High Court and didn't know it?"
The back story is that we were recently down in Arkansas at Thorncrown Chapel (http://www.thorncrown.com/) for a friends wedding and it was probably one of the most unique chapels architecturally I've ever been in. Very ethereal and open. When we were there, both of us commented that it looked like something out of Rivendale from Lord of the Rings.
We did some research and it turns out that the Vulcan Academy was actually filmed in a chapel in California. So we weren't really at the Vulcan High Academy. Sad. But the California chapel was designed by the same guy (Fay Jones) so it has very similar architecture. So it was kind of like we were at the Vulcan Academy. Kind of cool.
So in the end, it made for a night of interesting Internet research and we've come to the conclusion that Vuclans are actually related to elves.
