Getting married next to Trump's court hearing

We thought that to some extent it was a funny situation. High school sweethearts Chandler Dean and Carolina Trevino made a plan to tie the knot at a Manhattan courthouse and that plan happened to fall on the same day and nearly the precise same spot as Donald Trump's arraignment. Awkward. We just took it in stride and saw a lot of humor in it. Yeah, it was definitely chaotic but not so much so that we couldn't get in. The couple scheduled their wedding back in May flying in from Texas for the nuptials. We wanted to do the legal ceremony here in what we thought might be a more intimate and low-key circumstance. Naturally, this was anything but low-key. Media and protesters filled the street. We finished the ceremony and right as we walked out someone said, Trump just got out, Trump just got out. But the newlyweds say they have no regrets. To us, it was a way that made the day a little bit more memorable. And if anything, people were just like I think delighted at the fact that despite the chaos, love continues on. Yeah, like who cares? It's New York. There's something happening here every day. I mean not something always like that but you're right. You know, can you imagine being the person who realized honey, I think, do you see what's happening on our wedding day? Do you see where it's happening? I think they are fantastic.
