SEATTLE, Washington (KOMO) A Seattle woman is planning to tie the knot tomorrow with an unlikely choice.

She's marrying... A building.

Babylonia Aivaz says she plans to marry a 107–year–old warehouse in the city's capitol hill neighborhood.

She's calling the upcoming ceremony a "gay marriage."

Aivaz says she fell head over heels after joining an Occupy Seattle protest inside the building last month.

Aivaz says, "I'm doing it to show the building how much I love it, how much I love community space and how much I love this neighborhood, and I want to stop it from gentrification. "

But there's a big snag in the road for this happy couple.

Demolition crews have already started to dismantle the bride–to–be.

They're making way for a mixed–use apartment building.

And Aivaz says she's going ahead with her wedding plans, anyway.
