Juneau Wedding

The City and Borough of Juneau is a unified municipality located on the Gastineau Channel on the Alexander Archipelago in the U.S. state of Alaska, and is the state capital. The municipality unified in 1970 when the City of Juneau merged with the City of Douglas and the surrounding borough to form the current home rule municipality.

The city, Alaska's second largest in terms of population (after Anchorage), most surpassed Fairbanks. This is somewhat misleading as the area of Juneau is larger than that of Rhode Island, Delaware, or Connecticut, and almost as large as Connecticut and Rhode Island combined. Juneau is nestled at the base of Mount Juneau and across the channel from Douglas Island. As of the 2000 census, the City and Borough had a population of 30,711. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2005 population estimate for the City and Borough was 30,987[1].
