Apple Store Wedding: iDo

Lots of folks have proposed at Apple stores or even had Apple-inspired wedding cakes, but do you love Apple enough to say iDo there?

This might be the first couple to get hitched at an Apple retail without permission, flash-mob style, by a celebrant dressed like Steve Jobs who pronounced the solemn vows from an iPhone. The news was first tweeted by an Apple employee of New York’s Fifth Avenue store.

Groom Joshua told Entertainment Weekly he met his bride-to-be Ya Ting at an Apple retail store:

“We got to know each other because Ting was looking to buy an iPod…and I managed to strike up a conversation that way.” Romance blossomed for the two iLovebirds. “I used to joke that the Apple Store is my church because I am not religious, and I loved everything Apple,” Josh adds.

With this iPod, I thee wed. @Joshua Li

In addition to the location, Steve Jobs was invoked during the ceremony (“You have to trust in something: your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.”)

The rings were carried on a 1st gen iPod and her vows were written on a card that said “I love you more than this” followed by a picture of an iPhone.

    Gosh, the Apple haters will now be even more eager to say that Apple would be like a sect/church/cult and Steve is it’s pope/holy priest/whatever. Shitstorm by haters expected in 3..2..1..

    Whatever. Apple4life… :)

    A lot of crazy comments on Gizmodo right now. Truth be told, the groom and bride are both some of the nicest most down to earth people I have ever met, and I personally so own some Apple products, but i’m far from being a fan boy.

    The internet can be a rough place!

    Congrats again to Josh andTing Li!

    That’s really neat, except, I don’t think I could bring myself to say that I loved someone more than my iPhone….is that wrong?

  • Alfred

    Considering some people have “drive-thru” weddings or Elvis-themed weddings in Vegas, is this any more unusual?

    And it makes for a funny news item. Hooray!

    That people have no more in their lives than this is really quite sad.
