Donald Trump has made a specialty of inviting himself to weddings celebrated on his golf courses or in his luxury hotels, taking advantage of the opportunity to make political speeches and very often ignoring the bride and groom. He showed on Tuesday that habits die hard: his appearance before a New York judge drew a crowd of protesters, journalists and onlookers who disrupted the day of couples who came to formalize their union at the New York Marriage Bureau , on the other side of the street.
“I had not realized that it was here that it was happening”, says on NBC Peter Don, 30, came to pass the ring on Monique Beckford Khalia’s finger. “It’s fun, but it’s not going to ruin our day.” “It’s our day,” insists Monique, 25.
Jason Mcfarland and Dominic Lamarco had also chosen this date well in advance to get married, but they had not anticipated the media circus that would surround them. “It’s something we will never forget, that’s for sure,” comments Jason, 38. For Dominic, having Donald Trump indicted on his wedding day makes the occasion “even more joyful”.
