We couldn’t afford a $30K NYC wedding reception — so we had one on the L train instead
NY Post
Daniel Jean couldn’t afford to give his bride, Esmy Valdez, an over-the-top wedding.
So, the Brooklynite took it underground — to the subway.
“We didn’t have the money to do the dream reception that I’d always envisioned,” Jean, 39, a marketing manager from Flatbush, told The Post, noting the high cost of hosting nuptials in NYC.
“I decided to surprise her by having a dope reception on the L train,” said Jean.
He and Valdez, 38, a beautician, officially entered into holy matrimony with a private church ceremony on June 27.
However, the twosome toasted their purported union alongside 20 friends — as well as a subway car full of complete strangers — on Tuesday, with a reported estimated cost of only $3,000.
