Couple marries at 5th Avenue Apple Store on Valentine's Day

We've seen robberies at Apple Stores before, we've seen kids rapping and we've even seen death threats, but I don't know that I've ever heard of a wedding in an Apple Store. That's what newlyweds Ya Ting Li and Joshua Li decided to do at midnight in the Fifth Avenue Apple Store on Valentine's Day -- right there among the iMacs and Macbooks, they got their wedding officiated by a turtlenecked Steve Jobs stand-in.

The rings came in on an original iPod, and the cards and decorations were Apple-themed as well (one says "I love you more than this" with a picture of an iPhone on it). Why did they choose to have their wedding in an Apple temple? The couple even met at an Apple Store. We don't know the details of that, but we'd like to think their eyes found each other over a 17" MacBook Pro.

Very cute. Congrats to the happy couple -- we would hope that they got AppleCare for the marriage, but we doubt they'd need it.

I can only imagine the look on the face of my girlfriend if I even suggested this.

Well, consumerism is a replacement for religion. The 5th avenue cube looks like a modern age church, anyway. Imagine a [insert religious symbol] instead of the Apple logo. There you go.
I like a lot of stuff they'll sell down there. But I'd be embarrassed from attending this.

I'm an Apple enthusiast. But that's just sad.

I think the word you're looking for is "creepy". I enjoy the products, but the Apple Store has always given off that vibe to me - it's like they hatch the "Geniuses" out of pods in the back or something...

No, people with dates are saying it too. For example, my wife and I agree on our feelings : lame.

Good thing they choose Apple over a Microsoft Store - they probably would have been shut down as soon as it was found they had an unauthorized license - or would have to pay $150 on the spot to become official.
