:: Brides of March ::
“…beware the Brides of March…”
As the story goes, 10 years ago, the bride below with the cigar, wandered into a thrift store and spotted several worn and tossed bridal gowns. The idea came to him to start a Brides of March event — essentially a raucous-street-march + bar – hoppin’-jewelry -store-crashin’-extravaganza that causes pedestrians and traffic to stop and stare. Well.. sometimes the traffic is forced to stop.. what can i say.. its a parade. Each year it swells in capacity and tourists fortunate enough to catch this procession are left scratching their heads and cleared of any uncertainty that SF is a unique city in its own right.
Lo and behold just down the street a real wedding was actually just winding up. Little did they know a surprise was waiting on them outside.
“We want the bride! We want the bride!” the crowd chanted
Definitely not what the parents had planned on for their baby girl’s speshul day
No wedding is complete without a Wedding Planner
The force is strong here
