First Ever Wedding in a Store?

February 18, 2010

A New York city couple used Valentine’s Day as the opportunity be married inside the Fifth Avenue (NYC) Apple store, the first known ceremony at a store. Joshua Li met bride-to-be Ya Ting Li in a store while she was shopping for an iPod, he tells Entertainment Weekly. After a courtship, the couple planned an in-store wedding to commemorate their first encounter. The vows took place one minute into Valentine’s Day, and included a minister dressed similarly to Steve Jobs. The rings were presented tied to a ribbon wrapped around a first-generation iPod, all videotaped by the hotdog stand vendor who works in front of the store. The event took place without Apple’s approval, Li says, but apparently the store staff didn’t interfere. View photos and a video here.
