00:00I am a little bit nervous.
00:02You know what?
00:03Now that we see all these people smiling and happy at what is about to transpire,
00:09it occurs to us that this might be the most beautiful parking lot wedding ever.
00:13It's true.
00:14And our tux has arrived just in time.
00:17Literally.
00:17Two seconds ago.
00:18Thank you to Ikebucci.
00:19When they make the movie about this, that's going to be a real nail-biter.
00:22Yes.
00:22Yeah.
00:23Big, big shout-out to Steve Castle from Ikebucci on Evil Road in Habertown.
00:27I literally texted him at 6.30 this morning.
00:30Came running.
00:31And by the way, the tux I got sort of fits well.
00:33Mine as well.
00:34And it was a last-minute touch that we forgot about.
00:36So thanks for bailing us out, man.
00:38We appreciate it.
00:38I got a little emotional when they all started walking in.
00:41I saw the brides.
00:42The first bride to come in has this beautiful dress on.
00:45I was like, oh, my God.
00:46It is amazing.
00:47We're doing this.
00:47You guys ready to get married?
00:50How awesome.
00:51How wonderful.
00:52We do have one other minor detail.
00:54Although we are going to be witnesses, we need a little bit more flash in that department.
01:01So, ladies and gentlemen, if you would, Paul, please have the intro music.
01:04We're going to welcome our special witnesses for the Preston and Steve Hungry for Love mass wedding ceremony.
01:11So, witnesses, if you could please.
01:14Oh, my God.
01:15It's the Philly fanatic, Preston.
01:18The fanatic.
01:19Everyone's tripping and they're so happy.
01:21Come on over here, guys.
01:23Steve, Steve, to your left, we have Wingston from the Philadelphia Wing.
01:27We have Fang from the Philadelphia Union.
01:29And, ladies and gentlemen, we got Gritty!
01:37What a collection of witnesses.
01:40It's perfect.
01:41And, in fact, for the wedding ceremony, playing the parts, and thank you, Paul.
01:50No, no.
01:51Gritty's by the cake.
01:52Easy, Gritty.
01:52Gritty.
01:53Calm down.
01:54So, for the purposes of this, playing the role of the matron of honor will be Gritty.
02:00And the best man will be the Philly fanatic this morning.
02:04So, we're excited to have these guys here to be a part of this wedding ceremony.
02:08Awesome.
02:09Gritty's picking.
02:09Gritty is paying.
02:10He's actually picking up money and paying off our preacher.
02:14He's paying off our reverend.
02:17Yes.
02:17Nice job, Gritty.
02:18We're in a strip club here.
02:19Here we go.
02:19All right.
02:20I think we are ready to begin, ladies and gentlemen.
02:22So, with our witnesses in place, with our couples standing side by side, ready to participate
02:28in this wonderful event, I would like to introduce, from the Philly Wedding Company,
02:33the reverend, Patrick Loftus, this morning.
02:35Yes.
02:39I wish you all could see the view from up here.
02:43Just absolutely astonishing.
02:45And, Preston and Steve, something tells me you should probably hand out some life preservers.
02:50Because I probably feel today there's a possibility we could all drown in a sea of love.
02:57So, friends, on behalf of Preston and Steve's camp out for hunger, in conjunction with Philly
03:09Wedding Company, it is our absolute honor and privilege to welcome you all here today.
03:16This morning, you will profess the love and devotion you have for each other.
03:21This morning, you will leave this event and venture on a glorious trail, an adventure to be shared with the person you love,
03:31with the person you are about to marry.
03:34So, as we prepare to profess your love for each other, I ask that you please face each other and join hands.
03:44At this time, I ask that you look into your partner's eyes, but more importantly, look into your partner's heart.
03:59This person, whom you hold by the hand, is about to become your life partner.
04:10I pose to you the following questions.
04:13Please respond by saying, I will.
04:17Do you promise to be one another's true love?
04:22I will.
04:22Do you promise to cherish this union and love one another today more than you did yesterday?
04:30Do you promise to love one another faithfully through good times and bad?
04:38Do you promise to cling to one another in times of adversity?
04:47They're thinking that one over.
04:48By the way, the squeaking is gritty, also saying I will.
04:54That's how he speaks.
04:56And do you promise to be one another's best friends as long as you both shall live?
05:05At this time, there will be a reading by Steve Morrison.
05:11This is a reading from Weston's Letters to the Lowerites.
05:15Love.
05:17Love.
05:18Love is patient.
05:19Love is kind.
05:21Love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude.
05:24It does not insist on its own way.
05:27It does not become irritable or resentful.
05:30It does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth.
05:35It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
05:42Now, that said, sometimes love would love to know where the freaking remote is.
05:50Love would love to not pretend that your friend from college isn't the biggest banshee bitch on earth.
05:57Love would probably like to reintroduce the mouth into the bedroom.
05:59Not saying it has to happen all the time, but once in a while it would be nice.
06:03Of course, love is not stupid, though.
06:05Love knows it should probably put the toilet seat down now and then.
06:07Especially at night, so you don't end up cannonballing into the water.
06:12Love knows that we consider to take a shower before intimacy,
06:15so you don't smell like Kennet Square during mushroom season.
06:19Love should probably realize it shouldn't jam its hands down its pants like someone grabbing for a bridge jumper.
06:26Especially in front of that bitchy friend from college.
06:30Yes, love is eternal.
06:32Love is nice.
06:33Love is so good.
06:35I said it thrice.
06:37Steve Morrison.
06:45I am completely overwhelmed.
06:47Thank you, Steve.
06:47That was just wonderful.
06:50So now we will prepare to exchange rings.
06:53And as you do, let these rings be a constant reminder to both of you of the vows and commitment you have made here today.
07:03So now I will ask partners on the left.
07:09That's if you're facing this way.
07:11If you're facing us.
07:12If you're facing us, it's this way.
07:14Partners on the left.
07:16Please place your ring on your beloved's third finger left hand.
07:22Well, that's a lot of math for this.
07:25I know.
07:25I know.
07:26Yeah.
07:26Good.
07:27Got it.
07:28All right.
07:29Now I ask you.
07:31You will answer, I do.
07:32Do you take this person to be your partner in life?
07:40Do you promise to cherish them every day?
07:46And do you give this ring as a sign of your love, loyalty, and commitment?
07:53And to those receiving these rings, do you accept this ring as a symbol of your partner's love and devotion?
08:04You may place the ring on the finger.
08:06All right.
08:14To our partners on the right.
08:17Please place your ring on your partner's third finger left hand.
08:23May I jump in here for a second?
08:24You may.
08:24If those partners would like to speak up when they respond, that'd be awesome.
08:28Yes.
08:28I now ask you, do you take this person to be your partner in life, to cherish every day?
08:41Do you give this ring as a sign of your love, loyalty, and commitment?
08:49You may place the ring on your partner's finger.
08:52Please remember that these rings you have exchanged today are a symbol of your marriage as well of the promises you have made.
09:07A ring is like a circle, and as we all know, a circle has no beginning and a circle has no end.
09:15A love with no beginning and no end is what we all wish for you here today.
09:20So here comes the best part, folks.
09:24Having heard the vows of your fidelity and love by the powers vested in me by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the eyes of Gritty and before Preston and Steve,
09:40it is my honor and privilege to pronounce that from this moment on, you are partners for life.
09:50You may now.
09:51Yeah!
09:55You guys can kiss now!
09:57You can kiss now!
09:58Yes!
09:58Kiss your bride!
10:00Kiss it!
10:01Kiss it!
10:02Is that what he said?
10:03Kiss it!
10:04Kiss it!
10:05Oh!
10:05You heard the declaration!
10:07My goodness!
10:07The command?
10:09Everyone in this tent who participated is now officially married!
10:14This is a wonderful thing to witness, everyone is kissing and making, you know what?
10:23And Gritty's kissing a few.
10:24I'm blown away by how emotional I feel right now.
10:26I do as well, Steve.
10:28I mean, I knew it was going to be lovely.
10:30How could it not be in a parking lot?
10:31But this is amazing.
10:32You see these people looking in each other's eyes, and it was wonderful.
10:35This gentleman right here wearing a hat in the very front row, he is sobbing.
10:40He's crying!
10:41There you go.
10:42Congratulations, everybody!
10:44Wow!
10:45And the fanatic is out there hugging everybody.
10:47Oh, man.
10:48So we are going to move right along.
10:51Now that you guys are officially married, we are going to have, and it's all for you,
10:57a five-minute reception!
10:59Yeah!
10:59Yeah!
11:02And we will start with the first dance as Partners for Life.
11:07So, I turn to possibly the greatest wedding band in the world, Drop Dead Sexy, to play
11:13your first song.
11:14But right after that, we're going right into the party, folks.
11:17So don't go anywhere.
11:18Here we go.
11:19Your first dance.
11:21I think the fanatic and Gritty should dance.
11:25I think we may have made a love connection there today.
11:27I think so.
11:28This is unbelievable.
11:29I think the bimbo bear and Sir Francis might actually be married.
11:32I think the bimbo bear clearly has the most limited sight of any of the mascots.
11:36This is love and love.
11:39You're just too good to be true.
11:41It's amazing.
11:42Oh, this is great.
11:43I can't take my eyes off of you.
11:46Oh.
11:46You feel like heaven to touch.
11:51I want to watch you so much.
11:55At the moment when love has arrived.
11:59And I thank God I'm alive.
12:02You're just too good to be true.
12:07I can't take my eyes off of you.
12:10I've brought in the way that I stand.
12:14The mascots are wandering around, interacting with our dancers.
12:20You can see a lot of love in the room, Preston.
12:22We've got couples of all different things here.
12:26It's wonderful.
12:27Different ages.
12:28Some are dressed up fully in wedding attire.
12:31And others are in casual clothing.
12:32Yeah, I've seen another light Christmas sweater.
12:37And by the way, the Fnatic had jumped on with the band.
12:40It was up to play this tambourine for a little while.
12:43Oh, nice.
12:44Here we go.
12:46Look at the Fnatic.
12:48Ready?
12:49Everybody?
12:55Ready?
12:56Here we go.
12:57Here we go.
12:57Here we go.
12:59This is all on video, by the way.
13:26Streaming live.
13:29And now it's time to crank the party up.
13:35Here we go, ladies and gentlemen.
13:37Five minutes of all wedding dance songs.
13:40Kathy, get out there and dance.
13:44Woo!
13:47Here we go.
13:54Fnatic's on stage playing the tambourine.
13:56Till you've been playing the tambourine.
14:02Casey went to join the party.
14:04He's got to get out and dance.
14:05It's so great.
14:06There he goes.
14:07Here comes Casey, everybody.
14:12A wedding guest favorite.
14:14Absolutely.
14:15There he is.
14:16Yeah, Casey, go.
14:17He's dancing with bimbo.
14:24This is a wonderful scene here.
14:26Yes, it is.
14:28Eagles cheerleaders joining in.
14:30They're doing their dance routines.
14:31Yes.
14:35It looks like a Sid and Marty Croft reception.
14:37Dude, Steve, you're hitting it right on the head.
14:40Yeah.
14:41With gritting.
14:42Eyes shaking all over the place.
14:44He's got some moves, man.
14:46We've got brides coming over, hugging Steve right now, thanking him.
14:51All our mascots are mixed into the party crowd here.
14:55Everybody's up for a dance.
15:00Woo!
15:00Oh, now we've got a train started.
15:08Oh, Casey started that.
15:09Oh, Casey, I don't know if bimbo is.
15:11Here comes the train.
15:12Everybody on board.
15:16This is awesome.
15:18I can't stop watching Gritty.
15:21Gritty's awesome, man.
15:22And the fanatic's on stage here.
15:24He's coming down now.
15:26He's getting in the train.
15:27There's a bunch of kids in the office, too, bro.
15:30This is how long every reception should last, dude.
15:34There has never been anything like this, ever.
15:36I've never seen anything like this.
15:38It was a party on the street.
15:43A party on the street.
15:45It was a party on the street.
15:47A party on the street.
15:49It was a party on the street.
15:51Dude, this is fun.
16:02Do you remember?
16:03So there's a whole bunch of people in here.
16:05There's still some spectators in the back.
16:07There's people outside looking in.
16:08There was a party on the street.
16:10I hope there's people that are coming by right now
16:12that had no idea this was going to happen.
16:14There's a party on the street.
16:15Ha, ha, ha.
16:15All right.
16:34The train is trying to move around the room.
16:37Preston, it's come to a halt.
16:38So many people in here.
16:39Yeah, let's hear it, guys.
16:41Yeah.
16:41That was wonderful.
16:46All right.
16:46Now, we're going to do...
16:48What these lovely couples.
16:48We're going to do one more thing.
16:50We need all our married couples in the middle here
16:51because we need to have our bites of wedding cake right now.
16:56So we are going to have our friends at Creeble's Bakery.
16:59They are...
16:59Creeble's Custom Bakeries are bringing out...
17:02Right now, they made over 300 of these awesome,
17:06very detailed and beautiful cupcakes
17:08that we're going to have you guys in the wedding tradition
17:11feed to each other.
17:13And what we'd really like to do
17:15is get the biggest collection of people
17:17smashing the cake into each other's face.
17:20If they were...
17:20This gal down front, I just saw her go,
17:22I don't smash cake in my face.
17:24That's okay.
17:25I don't do that.
17:26That's all right.
17:27That's all right.
17:27But Gritty, dance moves on Gritty, man.
17:31You have got the chops.
17:33Let's hear it for Gritty and his dancing.
17:37Wow.
17:38Preston, everyone.
17:39Again, this crowd looks phenomenal.
17:41Yes.
17:41And the dance moves, everything was great.
17:43That's just about the right length for a good reception, I think.
17:45Yeah.
17:46Five minutes.
17:46Yeah, one song.
17:47And now we're going to proceed to this.
17:49A lot of cakes.
17:50How many were made?
17:50How many cupcakes?
17:51Over 300.
17:52300.
17:53Okay.
17:53So after we do the couples, we'll bring out the cupcakes,
17:57and you guys, all of our participants, will be able to grab some.
18:00So they're being handed out, and we want to get a nice photo op of you guys feeding each
18:05other.
18:05Are we still waiting on cupcakes for some of you guys?
18:07They're delicious.
18:07By the way, quick show of hands, people are still amazed that right now, they're married.
18:13Oh, yeah.
18:14There we go.
18:17Oh, and is anyone interested in consummating the marriage in our RV later on?
18:22We have a lot of hands going on.
18:23Wow.
18:24Yeah, we'll have to figure that one out.
18:25Gritty does.
18:26Gritty does.
18:27He doesn't know what consummate means.
18:29No, no, no.
18:30I'll tell you later, Gritty.
18:32I'll tell you later.
18:34All right.
18:34So they're going to hand out the cupcakes, and we'll get that going in just a moment.
18:38But I can't thank our friends from the Filling Wedding Company enough, Reverend Patrick and
18:43Reverend Joe Patrick Loftus and Joe Sheridan.
18:46They got in touch with us and said, hey, we do weddings.
18:48You want to do something?
18:49And we kind of took it up a couple of levels and said, let's marry a ton of people.
18:53I thought it was an awesome success.
18:55It still continues, obviously.
18:56But the magic, we also have things to dispense and things to give away.
19:00That's coming up in a bit.
19:01Yeah, we're going to do that in the following break.
19:03We have the honeymoon trip to give away.
19:05We have the engagement ring from Steven Singer Jewelers and the wedding bands from Steven
19:09Singer Jewelers.
19:10And by the way, distributing the cupcakes are Eagles Cheerleaders.
19:14Yes.
19:14So we've got to thank them for being here, too.
19:16And I believe the dance team from the Wings are here as well, President.
19:18Excellent.
19:18Oh, the Hot Wings.
19:19Hot Wings.
19:20Are they the Hot Wings?
19:20I don't know.
19:21That's what Chuck wants to call them.
19:22That's a great name.
19:23That's a good idea, yeah.
19:23I love that name.
19:24Kathy, you don't like that name?
19:26Cupcake, he's getting it all over his costume.
19:29Put it down, Gritty.
19:30Okay.
19:30Put it down.
19:31Put the cupcake down.
19:32Oh, my God.
19:33He's going to throw it at you, Kathy.
19:35Careful.
19:36Yeah.
19:37My boy, the fanatic, will have my back.
19:39All right.
19:39So here we go.
19:40Oh, yes.
19:41We have our cupcakes.
19:42We can sell these pictures, though, to plushie sites, Preston.
19:46Yeah, this is a plushie orgy, actually.
19:48Plushie orgy.
19:48All right.
19:49So we're going to grab and see if you want a cupcake from Creeple's there.
19:52Here.
19:52Right there.
19:53Casey's got a plate full.
19:55Oh, don't do it yet.
19:56Hold on.
19:56You guys, hang on a second.
19:58You guys are already eating.
20:00We need to do this all together.
20:01We want to get a good photo op.
20:03So, Casey, do you and I want to do it, do we want to do it like this way or no?
20:08Yeah, yeah, yeah.
20:08I'm not going to smash it in your face, dude.
20:10Promise?
20:10I promise.
20:11All right.
20:11No, because we could feed our owner.
20:13Should we feed it to each other?
20:14No, no.
20:15We just feed ourselves.
20:16That's good.
20:16Okay.
20:17All right, ladies and gentlemen, raise your cupcake.
20:19This is a tradition at all weddings.
20:21So congratulations and enjoy.
20:24You're now married, so have your cupcake.
20:26Smash it in the faces if you want to.
20:28Go right ahead and do it.
20:29We're going to get pictures of this.
20:30So thank you very much, Casey.
20:31I got a little bit on me, Preston.
20:34Oh, my God.
20:35Wow.
20:36A little bit on my forehead.
20:37Did Gritty do that?
20:38Yes.
20:39I don't want to Gritty up this look because this is a chocolate cupcake.
20:43It'll look bad on Gritty.
20:44You look great, Steve.
20:45How are they?
20:45Steve, when you woke up this morning, did you have any idea that at a wedding, Gritty was
20:49going to smash a cake in your face?
20:51I had no idea, but it was an honor.
20:53And I see, obviously, the fanatics over there.
20:55He's instituting the cupcake dispensing and crushing.
21:00Everyone looks so lovely, though.
21:01I can see why they wouldn't want to smash it in each other's faces.
21:04I understand.
21:05I'm actually surprised people got as dumb up as they are.
21:08Hey, did you guys smash it?
21:10Did you smash Casey's at your wedding?
21:12Yes, we did.
21:13You did?
21:13No, no, no.
21:14We had a sword fight.
21:15Oh, good.
21:16Me and the groomsmen.
21:17Wow.
21:18Yeah, I did.
21:19Did you?
21:19A little bit.
21:20A little bit.
21:21I felt like I had to, but I don't know.
21:23Kathy, there's no way.
21:25No.
21:25No.
21:25You said that it...
21:26Oh, I was just going to say that there are...
21:28I think there are different types of situations when it comes to the...
21:31cake, and it's either they talk about it, and it's, no, we're not doing that, or it's
21:36just all out, and they smash the cake.
21:37Did you have the discussion before the wedding?
21:39Oh, yeah.
21:39I was like, no.
21:40Don't you even think about it yet?
21:41No.
21:41I'm going to have...
21:41Do you know how much money I'm paying to have my makeup done?
21:43No.
21:44No way.
21:44Too clean for that.
21:46All right.
21:47So, I guess we need to...
21:48We're going to come back in a moment.
21:49We're going to find our winners.
21:51Yes.
21:51And talk to them, see how they're enjoying married life right now.
21:55Yeah, and then after that, they actually have to go do a little more paperwork...
21:58Yes, they do.
21:59...to make it all final.
22:00So, should we take a break and come back with that?
22:02Yeah.
22:02All right.
22:02We're going to continue partying here in the tent, but when we come back, we'll find
22:05out who our winner's in.
22:06Drop Dead Sexy, the greatest wedding band in the world on stage.
22:10We'll come back in just a moment with more of the MMRBQ and our mass wedding.
22:15We'll be right back with more of the MMRBQ.
