“I was minding my own business on the yellow line when all of a sudden, as we crossed the potomac, a wedding broke out. these are my new favorite people ever. but if I knew I’d have been going to a wedding, I wouldn’t have worn flipflops.”
Awesome! Congrats to the newlyweds!

It looks like the bedroom is only accessible through the bathroom. Weird.

Ha! Ha! Do you mean Two Amy's Nursery School - where the parents let their kids run...

Yes, the trash can get annoying. The worst part about it is that it's not only the kids...

Thanks for letting me know. Now I will stay far, far away from Jake's on weekends.

consider it sold.
I wonder if they gave their guests farecards saying “Tiffany and Brad/June 9, 2012″.
I’d be nervous about that dress getting caught in the escalator!
Very cool!!!

what do you think crossing the poto,mac had to do with it? crossing into dc or into va?
Maybe they liked the view as they crossed the river.
Which jurisdiction/state would that fall under if it was directly over the river?
The river is in DC. VA starts at the shore.
The entirety of the Potomac is in the District of Columbia. The border is the southern edge of the river
I happen to know the beautiful couple. Crossing the Potomac had to do with DC’s support of marriage equality. They preferred a particular venue in nova, but wanted to be officially married in DC.
That’s sweet. I wish them all the best!
how cool. love that!
OK that is indeed super cool.
That is definitely awesome.
That is an awesome view of the city. I love looking at it everyday on my way to work in Virginny.
Well this is further proof we are all special snowflakes. Whatever works for ya.
Congratulations to the happy couple!
Was it actually real? I ask only because I read about a performance art group (one that started some of the first flash mobs, no-pants subway rides, etc., back when that stuff was cool and exciting) that once staged a pretend wedding on a NYC subway car, just for the purpose of brightening the days of random subway riders.
Either way, this is awesome.
About as real as same-sex marriage can be at this time, until some nutjobs force it to be outlawed once again.
Yup. Real couple, real wedding. I know them as well and they are just a cool couple.
A few weeks ago we were driving down 7th street Chinatown and witnessed an all crosswalk wedding. It was adorable. Talk about a quickie wedding!
starting your marriage out on the metro has got to be the most obvious omen
I hope there was no track work going on and they didn’t have to take a shuttle to the reception.
“I am so pissed, if I had just kept playing like I had been, there is a high possibility I could have been $100,000 richer.”
You’re not familiar the (long) odds for winning the lottery?
Oops, this was supposed to be in the Rant/Revel thread.
I blame it on its being Monday.
Actually, your comment is amusingly appropriate–a wedding is indeed about betting on the odds and winning the lottery
Marriage shouldn’t have the long odds of lottery if you pick the person well!
Binpetworth — Heh heh; thanks! I like that idea.
Anonymous 12:58 — I think Binpetworth was saying that finding someone you want to marry is like winning the lottery (not that marriage itself is like the lottery).
Binpetworth — I have to ask… is your username “B in Petworth,” like “resident of Petworth whose name begins with B”?
I am hoping it’s not “Bin Petworth,” which is what a British person might say to mean “Throw Petworth in the garbage.”
Hah! No Britishisms here–just my first initial and where I live. Though given the propensity of the residents in my particular street to litter, perhaps bin petworth may be suitable.
Studying some details in the photos, it seems that the happy couple was married on board car 2075, a Breda rehab.
On both the early (6:00 p.m.) and late (11:00) news yesterday, you featured a story about an (inter-racial, I think) couple in their wedding regalia being spotted on a metro train. One news host called it “the love train.”
In 2003, I had a similar story for children published in Ladybug Magazine. I would love to offer a copy to your happy couple as a memento. Have you been able to get a name or contact for them?
Many thanks, Myrina McCullough
