Flash mob wedding

Christmas shoppers in a Boston mall in December were surprised when a crowd of people suddenly broke into song and choreographed dance moves in front of the stores. But they were left reeling when two of the revellers stripped off their winter clothes to reveal a wedding dress and tuxedo — and stepped down a makeshift "aisle" to exchange vows.

John Kleiman and Caroline Turcksin, a couple from Needham, Mass., decided to hold a "flash-mob" wedding to save money, and give their guests a unique experience. They had the occasion filmed to show Turcksin's family in Belgium — but since the clip went viral it has been viewed more than 300,000 times on YouTube.


If you're impatient: skip to 2:30 to see the wedding start

"The whole shebang was recession-friendly," says Megan Friedman in Time. The bride's dress cost $36, she did her own hair and make-up, and the reception cost a paltry $3,000. "Leave the lavish weddings to British royalty."

She's definitely pregnant, so maybe they're being smart and saving their money for the kid. It's sweet that the groom is so teary and clingy - cute!

Save the Date - Video

Lately, there have been a few Save the Date videos that make me want to simultaneously gouge my eyes out and kick puppies. I get it, future marrieds, you're in LURVE. Guess what? Not that many people care! Sorry to say it, but it's true. This is a Save the Date video that I can get behind. I wanted to snark it, and I really wanted to hate them, but I think this video is cool because it shows them on an action/sci-fi adventure to get married. They look like they'd be fun to hang out with because they're a little geeky and they have a good sense of humor. See for yourself:





Here's an awkward interview with the couple - there's a time-delay, so it's hard to watch, but the couple is so cute!



Good luck you guys!
