In honor of Valentine’s Day, we offer a romantic trivia question: How many weddings, on average, take place in Graham Chapel every year?

Answer: C) About 55-65 weddings are held in the chapel annually. Christine Graham had the chapel built in loving memory of her husband, Benjamin Graham, in 1909. The chapel is now a popular wedding venue for couples who fell in love on campus and for locals.

Congrats to this week’s winner, Mary Roy, of the Department of Medicine, who will receive an “I Knew WashU” luggage tag!
