These Doctor Who Porta-potties make outdoor bathrooms actually FUN

If your outdoor wedding needs some bathroom accommodations of the bright blue variety, you’re only one step away from nerdtastic Doctor Who Porta-potties. Rae and Jason had a Doctor Who meets Renaissance faire wedding and these TARDIS Porta-potties fit right in. They snagged a few large-sized police box stickers, stuck ’em on the top of the blue portable toilets, and voila: instant TARDIS.
