While Donald Trump prepared for arraignment, down the block couples said 'I do' during their unforgettable wedding day at the Marriage Bureau
As he reminisces about their meet-cute, a limo passes through the intersection, honking, and carrying a passenger in a Trump costume, who waves out the open window to the protesters on the corner, while other people on board whoop and shout. Rivera, originally from Puerto Rico, says he didn’t vote in previous elections, but contrary to the attitude on display by New Yorkers across the street, he says he likes Trump. “I have no problem with Donald Trump,” he says, then qualifies it.
Right now, though, it’s their day, and the couple have more important things to think about. They are focused on making it to their appointment and then celebrating. The plan is dinner with family later in the evening, where they’ll feast on Chaulafan, a fried rice from Ecuador, Saavedra’s home country.
For Mads Clausen and Soumay Thomsen, the idea of getting married in New York started as a joke. Tourists from Copenhagen, Denmark, they’ve always loved New York City, and thought it would be cool to tie the knot on a family trip they’d been planning for 2023. Three months ago, they decided to do it for real. They arrived Thursday to their Airbnb in Harlem and then went to get their marriage license. “We saw the press on Friday and we asked, just kidding, ‘Is he coming?’” says Thomsen, 52.
“It’s the kind of thing that we won’t forget now,” Thomsen adds. Neither is a fan of Trump. “People at home were calling us and saying, ‘Just stay away from the area,’ and we said, ‘Ha ha, we are…” — Clausen, already her partner of 13 years, finishes her sentence: “In the center of it.” A helicopter buzzes overhead as Daniel Arzuaga and Christopher Crawford search for a last-minute witness for their ceremony. Arzuaga wears a polka-dotted blazer and Crawford is in gray with a window-pane plaid pattern. Both wear floral ties.They spot thisreporter, since I have been lingering by the courthouse steps, hoping to meet more couples.
