On July Fourth, the morning news shows were slobbering over these two clods because they got married while in character as Betsy Ross and Ben Franklin.
If it had been two Trekkies dressed up as Mr. Spock and Nurse Chapel, then all the networks would have been snickering.
And no, I'm NOT bitter.
From CNN:
PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (AP) -- Benjamin Franklin and Betsy Ross celebrated the eve of the Fourth of July not with fireworks but with wedding vows.
Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter officiates the real-life ceremony. 3 of 3 Ralph Archbold and Linda Wilde, who portray the historical figures, tied the knot Thursday evening in a public ceremony in front of Independence Hall, where the real Franklin helped draft the nation's founding documents.
The bride and groom, as well as the entire wedding party, were in costume for the event.
