A very special day for two wonderful people...

But it was unlike any other before

The Bride was absolutely beautiful, dressed in white,

The Groom as well, dressed in black

Friends came from miles around...

 

Just one small thing...

 

Get me to the church on time, does not apply here...

Kirk & Pattys version is...

Get the church TO me on time!

 

You guessed it!

 

The first "in the bus" wedding in the history of the Port Authority!

 

A standing load was on coach 2455 on that magical day, when Patricia Ruber and Kirk Driscoll said their "I Do's" before God and many of their good friends and family. Presiding over the service was District Justice Robert Ravenstahl.

Patty came in from the rear of the bus to join her soon to be husband Kirk, at the farebox where the ceremony was completed.

 

Kirk and Patty are both drivers from the Ross Division of the Port Authority. They met at the garage during a card game, introduced by Mr. Jeffrey Jones. The happy couple became engaged in December, and, former assistant superintendant Cindy Arcuri was only too happy to go along with the Idea.

 

The beauty of it all is that each day they head down the road, they will think of their wedding, especially when either one drives bus 2455.

After the ceremony, the bus took them off to the reception at the Fox Chapel Yacht Club.

Weddings like this should happen more often! The best news of all is that they are STILL happily married!

(And also both happily retired from the Port Authority!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am so happy for Kirk and Patty, and I know that they are still very happy, and very much still in love.

Unfortunately, however, their wedding bus, 2455, has reached the end of the line. That's a piece of their own personal history! Many best wishs to them...
