US couple get married in middle of marathon
By ANITuesday, February 1, 2011
HOUSTON - A couple in the US, who started the Chevron Houston Marathon as two single people, is said to have crossed the finish line as newlyweds after exchanging vows halfway through the run.
David and Molly took part in the marathon, and then after running 16 miles they stopped at the Williams Tower water wall for their wedding ceremony.
“She was getting a little tired back there and I thought she was going to dump me,” MyFoxHouston quoted David, the groom, as saying.
Molly’s sister Rachel had come up with the idea, because the couple was always running so much.
“My sister had the crazy idea because we run so much and we just decided, ‘Why not?’” Molly stated.
After the wedding ceremony was complete, the bride and groom continued ten more miles and completed the Chevron Houston Marathon as husband and wife. (ANI)
