ARTS EVENTS: A wedding dream come true?

Awwwww ...

It's still a couple of months away, but Mural Arts Center is encouraging those interested in tying the knot on Valentine's Day to get a head start on their planning — especially, say, if you've thought about getting married on a train with Mayor Michael Nutter. What the ... ? Taking off on Feb. 13, Mural Arts Center's Love Train is a 5 m.p.h. decorated Septa ride around Philadelphia touring the murals that make up Stephen Powers' Love Letter project. When the chug-a-chug-a comes to an end, spectators will be treated to a screening of A Love Letter For You — the documentary that chronicles Powers' work to undertake and complete his lengthy plan. And here's where the whole get-hitched-on-a-train part comes in: One couple will have the opportunity to be married on the train by Mayor Nutter as they zoom past the 50 murals that make up Powers' Love Letter project. It may not be the most romantic idea for a wedding day, but you'd be hard pressed to find anything more Philly-centric. To be considered, send a creative email to events@muralarts.org laying out the reasons why you'd be the best couple to get married on this train. And they want you to be super artistic — so attach a video, send some photos or write up a little poem that expresses your desire. There are only 360 seats (180 couples) available on the train, so the earlier you get your submission in, the better. Good luck!
