Members of the church commissioned the bell, but when it was delivered they realized it was too large for the belfry they'd built and decided to turn the bell upside down and use it as a flower pot, according to Brewer.

The bell was brought to the museum in 2003 and now hangs from a small wooden belfry, of the appropriate size, behind the museum.

Brewer said she has no intention of returning the bell to it's former capacity as a flower pot.

Those looking to get married or renew their vows should contact Ruth Ann Brewer 734-676-4952 before June 20.
