And the bride wore zip ties: Nice day for an Occupy Wall Street wedding

A cute couple is getting married in Zuccotti park this morning in New York City. Have fun occupying a happy future together, kids. Here's a photo of the bride, and here's the "sacred space." Here's the ring. @Newyorkist says, "Friends of couple inform they met here at spiritual circle months ago. Emery and Micha. Being married by NYU chaplain."

I don’t know what happened to that photo but I love it. Looks like something from the Year Zero ARG.

WTF? Did the cops give them a “wood shampoo” first? Is that blood?

This will be something to tell their grandkids about. Seriously, I wish them all the best.

Weird the amount of hostility surrounding anything OWS. Are there that many people out there (BB readers even!) who are so jaded or so entrenched in the status quo that you would begrudge even an idealistic wedding? Sad, sad, petty little people.

    A Pratchett reference?

      Not intentionally, Hannah. (Somehow, I’ve never gotten onto Pratchett. I must rectify that someday, as he sounds like a hell of a hoot of a writer.) I was thinking of this: Crab mentality. Is that in line with the Pratchett reference you thought I was making?

  The dead hate the living. You’re talking about people who see no reasonable chance of ever mating with a member of their own species.

    I’m assuming by “reasonable” you mean “while she’s conscious and breathing”.

Hmmmm. Occupy the Future. I like that – I’m already there with my tent.

Seriously — what’s with the photo being all messed up from their shoulders upward? It looks like it’s been unintentionally half-superimposed with another photo, and their faces are partially obscured. At first I thought it was just my browser, but it isn’t. I can has non-corrupted image?

Proof of their idiocy resides. . . where?
