After Daniel Jean, 39, and Esmy Valdez, 38, of Brooklyn, New York, exchanged wedding vows , they celebrated with friends at an unconventional venue: the New York subway L train, according to the New York Post.

The couple hosted 20 invited guests -- plus a bunch of strangers -- at a "dope reception," Jean said. "We didn't have the money to do the dream reception that I'd always envisioned," he said.

But for only $3,000, the couple had food catered by O's Grill Spot, a cake, drinks and music. Valdez was charmed: "When I walked onto the train and saw everything, I thought, 'Wow, I picked the right guy,'" she said. "Our reception was all about love." [NY Post, 7/3/2024]
