Six Couples Wed During Valentine's Day Tradition At Reading Terminal Market
By John McDevitt
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- It was a day to say "I do" for six couples at the Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia where Valentine's Day weddings have been a tradition for the past 14 years.
29-year-old Jennifer Lorjuste was wearing a white gown with red incorporated into her handmade veil. She was ready to get hitched but her husband was no where to be found. She was confident he was on his way.
"Yes he is," Jennifer said. "He better be running and skipping."
Her beau, Edward Stewart, arrived about half-an-hour late. So what was his reason?
"Traffic," Edward said. "Traffic every time."
Common Pleas Court Judge Jeffrey P. Minehart married the couple.
"We were going to wait longer, but I got sick in December," Jennifer said. "I had a brain aneurysm."
And Edward was there for her every step of the way.
"He was there, he bathed me, he fed me," Jennifer said. "It was awesome."
"I'm going to continue to be a good man to her for the rest of our lives," Edward said.
After the wedding, there was cake and Champagne to celebrate the marriages of the six couples.
