Couple ties the knot inside their local Apple Store
Apple fanboy Josh Li and fangirl Ting Li said their iDo’s last week at New York’s Fifth Avenue Apple Store. The couple first met at an Apple Store; Josh courted his fair lady like this: “We got to know each other because Ting was looking to buy an iPod…and I managed to strike up a conversation that way… I used to joke that the Apple Store is my church because I am not religious, and I loved everything Apple.” And the rest is history, encapsuled in the short but sweet video above. (Hope you picked up on this–the priest is dressed as Steve Jobs, black turtleneck and all!)

Wonder how long this marriage will last.
