Couple renew vows at NYC's Grand Central

NEW YORK, Dec. 31 (UPI) -- A New York woman whose hopes for a Grand Central Terminal wedding were dashed by prices 10 years ago finally received her wish as an anniversary gift.

Thomas Trumbley, 41, said he surprised his wife, Kristy, 33, with a vow renewal ceremony Thursday on the balcony over Metro-North Track 23 to deliver on her 10-year-old wish to wed at the station, the New York Daily News reported Friday.

"It's our place. We would always meet at Grand Central after work," Thomas Trumbley said.

He said he talked his wife into putting her wedding dress on Thursday, the couple's 10-year anniversary, for some photos at the station and she was shocked when they were met by the Rev. Annie Lawrence.

"It's bliss," Kristy Trumbley. "It's New York. It's an icon. It's beautiful."

Thomas Trumbley said the price tag of the vow renewal -- free -- was far less than the $10,000 they were told they would need to hold their wedding at the location a decade ago.

"This is your Christmas present, your anniversary present and your birthday present," Trumbley joked to his wife. "I am covered for the next 20 years."
