PHILADELPHIA — When people ask Krisy Plourde and Tom Golden where they got married, their answer will be a rough estimate: somewhere around 46th Street.
Plourde and Golden said their vows aboard an elevated train on Sunday, just ahead of Valentine’s Day.
The nuptials, performed by Mayor Michael Nutter, took place on a special train from City Hall to west Philadelphia. While Plourde and Golden, both 28, were being wed in the first car, about 360 other riders were getting a narrated tour of the “Love Letter” series of rooftop murals that parallel the tracks.
It was perhaps the most memorable Love Train in the city since the early 1970s, when Philadelphia International Records released the O’Jays’ hit song by the same name.
