Couple Ties The Knot On NYC Subway

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) - A young couple in New York City decided they spent so much time on the subway they might as well get married there.

So Hector Irakliotis and Tatyana Sandler exchanged vows Friday on the N train as is crossed from Brooklyn into Manhattan.

The Daily News reports that the 26-year-old groom boarded first with his groomsmen, who set about decorating the poles and seats with white ribbons.

The 25-year-old bride and her maid of honor got on several stops later.

An interfaith chaplain performed the ceremony as the train went over the Manhattan Bridge. Riders applauded as the couple were pronounced man and wife.

Irakliotis told the newspaper that he and Sandler chose their unconventional wedding venue because they spent so much of their courtship on the subway.

We hope their marriage is headed in the right direction and cheers to the happy couple!
