Greatest Show on Turf



I don't know, much as I love baseball, getting married in a mass wedding at a ballpark seems to take being a fan to another level:
Before the Twins met the White Sox in an early 11:10 a.m. CT game at the Metrodome, the club held a "Multiple Matrimony Ceremony" for 83 couples.

Approximately 50 of the couples had their wedding on the field, with the rest on hand to renew their vows. Anyone that wished to be part of the ceremony had to write a letter saying why they wanted to be married or renew their vows on the field.
Maybe it's just that I don't think turf is a very romantic sort of surface...

Actually the Metrodome turf is surprisingly soft and grass like !! My fiancee and I were one of the 83 couples who got married Saturady. Was pretty cool really, got to see a great game besides...hey, how many people can say they have Tony Oliva signing their marriage certificate as a witness?? :)

Congratulations!! And pardon my churlishness in the post - a wedding is always a good thing. Wait a minute - shouldn't you be on your honeymoon? :)
