Couple to Rush to Bookstore Right After Wedding for Harry Potter Book Release - How old are they, twelve?



PORTLAND, Ore. — It's going to be an extra-special wedding night for one Oregon couple this Friday.
Courtney Lanahan and Shawn Gordon of Clackamas are heading straight from their wedding reception to Barnes & Noble Friday night to get the final Harry Potter book.
The book's official release date is Saturday but many stores will be hosting midnight events to celebrate the debut of the much-anticipated "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."
The wedding starts at 7. The reception will follow. And at 11:30 the limo will whisk the new Mr. and Mrs. Gordon away — to the mall.
"It's the best wedding present," Lanahan said.
The couple didn't realize when they set their wedding date that they'd be backing up against the book's release date. Harry Potter fan Lanahan, 23, and her sister started talking after they realized the conflict. More MagazineLane.com
