For most people, finishing a marathon is accomplishment enough, but for one couple running today’s New York City Marathon, the bigger deal was getting married while on the move. Mary and Raymond Donaldson tied the knot at mile 22 and then went on to finish the race—or should we call it the Marry-thon. The fact that they looked so pulled together and had enough energy to speak their vows is pretty darn impressive—and props are also due to the officiant who ran the whole race with them! Now they’re off to Italy for a honeymoon, where hopefully they’ll do nothing more strenuous than take a leisurely stroll.
