Apple Store Wedding looks as uncomfortable as you’d think
Filed under: Apple Fanboyism, Cynicism, Geek Love, video
As big a fanboy as I am, and as understanding as the Bride of Macenstein is, I don’t think I would ever attempt to get married in an Apple store. It’s sort of like getting married in your mistress’s apartment. Yet that’s what the Li’s did this Sunday (Valentine’s Day). Yes, there’s nothing like committing to spend the rest of your life with someone as strangers shop disinterestedly for iPod cases nearby. It’s GOT to be what Mrs. Li drew pictures of as a girl.
For those of you keeping track at home, getting married in a publicity-stunt-like manner ON Valentine’s Day is TWO strikes. Oh, and getting married by a guy dressed as Steve Jobs? That’s like 10 more strikes.
I give this marriage 3 years.

Above: Lee and Mandy profess their love in front of 200 confused, roped-off strangers, just like Mandy pictured as a young girl.
When considering a marriage proposal, far more important than the choice of person is the location. Yes, it’s not important how long you’ve known someone, what really matters is that when it comes time to pop the question, you have as many complete strangers there to witness the event as possible. Their uneasy, confused applause – a reaction to the uncomfortably awkward situation you’ve created –is a memory you will want to hold onto, long after you’re divorce is finalized.
It’s a simple concept, and one that Lee Herbet understood completely as he proposed to his girlfriend of 6 weeks at the grand opening of the new Apple store at the Westfield Galleria in Roseville California. Of course, when one considers that Lee must have decided to propose at least a week in advance in order to pick out a ring and such, that means at best the two knew each other five whole weeks before deciding to take the plunge.
I’ve spent longer researching a TV than that…
Of course, it’s not the quantity of minutes you’ve known your fiancé, it’s the quality of that time. And since the two flew in all the way from Australia, that means they’ve spent almost as much quality time together on a plane, as not.
OK, enough. I know I am being a cynical bastard. It should be noted that Read more
