This is soooooo cute. The gist of the story is that a couple got married on a subway train. Apparently they're both orphans and couldn't afford the conventional wedding (heck, given how ridiculously expesnive marriage ceremonies cost in our mothernation, I don't blame anyone for feeling that way) and so they went ahead with it on the subway. Isn't this romantic on so many different levels? First of all, it issues a fatal uppercut to the general, and possibly Corean, perception of wedding ceremonies as a tool to rake in monetary gain. The guy probably wanted at least one thing: people's blessings, and he got it. It also revisits the meaning of "being ready", as in preparing yourself for things to come, namely the idea of starting a family. I bet this act gave his partner full assurance that he's willing to seriously give this thing a try. Sure, he's young, and may only have the romantic side of things in his head coupled with a potentially naive outlook on life, but I think it beats those overly-mature wimps who give lame excuses like how they need to become "more established and settled" before starting a family. The really romantic part (and this really purely romantic) is that the train on which they got married on (the number 5 train) was the very (well, not exactly, but you get the idea) train they had first met. I was hoping that the article would go into some more juicy detail on how exactly they met on a subway of all places... I mean.. did he make a move? If so, how? Was it your typical "Excuse me, do you have the time?" or was it a slightly more dramatic, "I'm getting off at the next stop..."?? I wish I knew!!! =) Well, I wish them the very best and hope they live happily ever after! =) Ahhhhh... When the hell will I ever find my better half? Hark! Jealousy is abound!! Dark night shall fall upon thy bloody Valentine's evening!!! Mua ha ha ha ha! *SIGH* Alright, back to the paper on Laplacian Mesh Smoothing...
