Vancouver couple wed on bus where they met

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 8 (UPI) -- A British Columbia couple held their wedding on the same Vancouver bus where they first met in April of last year.

Nina Schmidt and Jarred Greff said their wedding guests were told to meet them at a Vancouver bus stop at 3 p.m. Tuesday and they surprised their gathered family and friends by exchanging their vows aboard the No. 3 bus, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported Thursday.

Schmidt and Greff said they met aboard the same bus in April 2012, when Schmidt had just recently moved to the city from Germany.

"I was at a state in my life where I was like, 'I'm not going to meet the right guy.' But there he was on the bus." Schmidt said. "We had eye contact the entire time and a seat got available next to me, so he stood up and sat down."

The pair went for their first date, which lasted 22 hours, a few days later, and Greff said he accidentally showed more than he intended when his pants fell down while bowling.

"My ball skipped my lane and into somebody else's and knocked a few of their pins over and my pants fell down and I mooned Nina on our first date," he said.

Jiana Ling, a spokeswoman for bus operator TransLink, said the company sponsored the wedding and it was timed to coincide with the service's promotional I Love Transit Week, 24 Hours Vancouver reported Thursday.
