Couples get married in true Philly fashion at Reading Terminal Market

What better way to get hitched than to do it Philly style? Within your community and surrounded by a bunch of foodies. It's a place where we have so many memories. It's sentimental to us because my dad used to work here as a security guard at Reading Terminal Market. He passed two years ago, so it's hard too just to not have his presence but I feel like he had a hand in us being here. To love, honor, and keep in sickness and in health. I do. Beautiful. Married at the Market was born last year and this is our second year doing it on Valentine's Day and welcome to the Reading Terminal Market. I am a merchant and a happy merchant here at the Reading Terminal Market and my merchant stall is called Chef Beth's Kitchen. Since I've been initiated to become an ordained minister a couple years ago, last year I brought up to the staff, hey why don't we start marrying people at the market? I pledge my love now and forever. People requested all year long once we did it last year. People were really involved and intrigued. Do you, Timothy, take Julia to be your lawfully wedded partner? So the ceremony today is going to be an arch court. It's pretty traditional. It's pretty light. It's pretty quick. At the yes. We are also showcasing a lot of the merchants that take precious time out of their day to make this event happen. To having to hold from this day forward as long as you both struggle. We've been engaged now for two years and with being in med school and now in residency we really needed something to kind of light a fire under us you know and this was perfect because they were looking for spontaneous couples and here we are getting married today. So we keep on saying that we're going to tell our kids anytime we're like we go to writing terminal that's where we got married. So I think it'll be a long lasting memory. From this day forward as long as you both struggle. They put up a form and we were like well what if we just enter and see what happens. Time for the rings. A lot of stress came all at once because it was earlier in this month so it's like oh we gotta we gotta move things along. Husband and wife. This is a long-standing part of failing like for us to be a part of that I think it's really cool that this is part of our story now as well as us being a part of the building story. After the ceremony we're totally going to pick up some cannolis. It's so valentine's it's lovey-dovey it's beautiful and it's also a historic building so there's no better place. Congratulations.
