This couple ran a half marathon on their wedding day

...along with 60 of their wedding guests.



To attend this wedding, you had to be in shape. And I'm not talking about looking good in a dress or a tux. Last month, a Brooklyn couple ran a half marathon as part of their wedding day... along with 60 of their guests.

Running couple incorporates Brooklyn Half Marathon into their wedding

When Amanda Hughes and Joel Tse, who met while they were both training for the New York City Marathon in 2009, realized they had scheduled their wedding on the same day as the Brooklyn Half Marathon, they decided to incorporate the race into their nuptials. Not only would they run the half marathon, they invited their guests to run the distance with them to the finish line before they got officially tied the knot.

"We were going to organize a fun run, because without the running community, we never would have met," Hughes told Runner's World. "But the way it worked out was perfect because all of our running friends were going to be in town anyway."

They even sent out a training schedule with the wedding invitation -- with four months to train -- since many of the guests had never run a long distance race before.

Watch this couple's epic one-take wedding music video

Robert and Teresa enlisted the help of 250 wedding reception guests.



I have seen a lot of wedding videos. But I've never seen anybody do this.

On their big day, Robert and Teresa surprised their guests at the end of their wedding reception with a secret mission, enlisting the help of all 250 guests to shoot an epic one-take, multi-song music video, complete with props and choreography. The guests were briefed for ten minutes, placed into position, and they were off.

Jeremy Lin drops season-high 29 points on the 76ers

And meet the fans who invited Jeremy -- via hand-made sign -- to their wedding.



Another big night for Jeremy Lin! During Sunday night's game against Philadelphia, your favorite Asian American point guard scored a season-high 29 points, helping the Lakers beat the 76ers, 101-87.

Jeremy Lin's season-high 29 points help Lakers beat 76ers

Okay, so never mind that it was a matchup between two of the NBA's worst teams. Jeremy threw down an impact performance worth talking about, scoring 29 points with five rebounds and five assists in 28 minutes.

With fourteen games left in a crushingly disappointing season, and free agency looming, I'd say this was a good time for Jeremy to make a statement. Like this niiiice no-look dish to Wesley Johnson for the dunk:

Sorry, that Maroon 5 music video is fake.

Turns out, the band did not crash anybody's wedding. Those weren't even real weddings.



A few folks have been sending me this latest music video by Maroon 5, in which the band claims to spend a Saturday in Los Angeles crashing multiple wedding receptions and surprising newlyweds with an impromptu performance. One of the couples is an Asian American bride and groom. It's cute. It's also all lies.

Maroon 5's Smarmy Wedding-Crashing Video Was Totally Staged

Apologies to all who really enjoyed the OMG-there-are-rock-stars-at-my-wedding spirit of it all, but the whole thing was apparently staged. The deception started to unravel when folks began recognizing a handful of people in the video as actors (including a former America's Next Top Model contestant) and perhaps not totally random, regular ol' wedding revelers caught in a candid moment.

In the case of the Asian American wedding, the actors who were cast as "parents of the Asian bride" -- real-life couple Stephen and Barbara Woo -- let the cat out of the bag on their Facebook page, confirming that everything was indeed staged (and no doubt, bursting a few bubbles).

Quang and Ellie's super cool, slo-mo wedding video booth

Wedding mischief looks better in slow motion.



Are slo-mo photo booths the next big wedding trend? If you've been to a wedding in the past several years, you've probably taken a photo booth pic featuring you and your friends wearing oversized sunglasses and possibly a feather boa. But here's a fundamental truth: everything looks cooler in slow motion.

Seattle couple Quang Dinh and Ellie Koning got married earlier this month and instead of renting out the ubiquitous photo booth, they hired video production company Super Frog Saves Tokyo, who shot wedding guests in slow motion using a RED Epic camera and then edited the video into a cool montage of their friends in various states of mischief.

Check out the video of their guests dancing, making fish faces, blowing bubbles and slapping each other, among other slow motion shenanigans. Looks like they had an amazing time. (Warning: the video is paired with everyone's favorite rape-y song of the summer):

This couple survived the Aurora movie theater shooting. Exactly one year later, they're getting married.

Eugene Han and Kristin Davis were among the 58 victims who were wounded during the deadly movie theater gun attack in Aurora, Colorado last July. To commemorate their survival, the couple is getting married on the one-year anniversary of the shooting: Couple that survived Aurora movie theater shooting to marry exactly 1 year after the attack.

Eugene was shot in the knee and hip in the attack, when alleged shooter James Holmes opened fire during a crowded midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises. He still has bullet fragments inside his body. Kristine suffered scratches when Eugene pushed her to safety.

Rather than let July 20, 2012 be haunted by memories of the attack, the couple has purposely decided to associate the anniversary with a positive memory -- they're getting married:

Reporter/Bride covers China quake wearing wedding gown

I've been on the road for the better part of the last week, so I haven't been able to follow some of the major news stories very closely -- including the huge 6.6 earthquake that struck southwest China, killing nearly 200 people and counting. So why is this reporter wearing a wedding gown while reporting on the quake? Because when an earthquake strikes -- even on your wedding day -- duty calls.

TV reporter Chen Ying was off-duty, apparently on route to her wedding ceremony on Saturday morning when the earthquake struck. But Ms. Chen takes her job seriously, and jumped into action, reporting the story on-camera while still wearing her wedding dress. I wouldn't be surprised if she enlisted the help of the wedding videographer. Here's video of her intrepid reporting:
