TAGGED: horse-drawn carriages horses central park wedding

When my friends Kelly and Paul—who met through animal rights activism—decided to get married, I was happy for them. Of course, I might have been extra excited if I had known what they had in mind for the ceremony ...

You see, Kelly and Paul (or K+P, as they prefer) have always been concerned about the fact that horses in Central Park are forced to drag lazy tourists around the crowded city streets, through all weather extremes. What's romantic about that?

So when it came time to plan their wedding, they knew this was their big chance to show that it's possible to have a classy and fun ceremony in the heart of Manhattan, without abusing animals.

Are you ready for this?

The banner reads "Together, for Better, and for Horses" (clever, yes?)

The cake read "Unbridled Passion" on the top

Everybody together now ... "Awwww"

Won't you join me in congratulating this compassionate couple on taking their relationship and their activism to the next level?
