Surprise Wedding Reception

The title of this post kind of speaks for itself…

For those who can’t watch the vid until later, Improv Everywhere picked a random couple getting married at the City Clerk’s Office in Manhattan and threw them a surprise wedding reception in Foley Square, a park just across the street from the Office of the City Clerk. The couple, Raff and Frank, was treated to dancing, toasts, wedding cake, and gifts, all with complete strangers. There were even bridesmaids and groomsmen, none of whom had ever met the bride and groom!

The whole thing was pretty awesome — what a great surprise for a couple (and their handful of loved ones) who had planned on nothing more than a trip to the courthouse!

    What a delightful surprise!

    One thing I love that couldn’t have been planned is the way that the bridesmaids’ dresses so perfectly echo Raff’s dress, just in purple.

    May Frank and Raff share many years filled with similar serendipity.
