629 couples vow to set record
By Brian C. RittmeyerTRIBUNE-REVIEWMonday, February 11, 2008

Some couples had been married for less than a year, and one was married for more than 60.
There were brides wearing their wedding gowns, and a couple wearing Penguins jerseys.
Ten were celebrating their wedding anniversaries on Sunday. Another nine will celebrate on Valentine's Day.

"Re-Union: The World's Largest Wedding Vow Renewal Ceremony" was staged at the Carnegie Music Hall in Oakland as part of the yearlong celebration of Pittsburgh's 250th anniversary.

To be part of the official count, couples -- who paid $30 each to participate -- had to follow a detailed check-in system, bring a copy of their original marriage certificate and recite the same vows to each other. A reception with wedding cake and champagne followed.

Posted by PittsburghLive.com/Trib Total Media


Calling all brides-to-be! On Thursday, February 21st, local brides will be put to the ultimate test when they are challenged to outlast their CoverGirl Lipcolor in a wedding day inspired contest.
Through a series of obstacles at the PPG Place, Pittsburgh brides-to-be will compete in a crazed course, completing tasks that include "elegantly sipping" champagne and devouring wedding cake.
The bride who finishes the course first with her lipstick intact will be declared the winner of the CoverGirl Outlast Bridal Challenge in Pittsburgh and will receive a wedding cake courtesy of Prantl’s Bakery, a $500 gift certificate to David's Bridal and their own personal CoverGirl makeup artist on the day of their wedding.
