When Jen F. and her husband Kevin told their friends that they were going to have a Muni-themed wedding, they were ridiculed to no end. I’m sure there were jokes about urine and body odor. But hey, if you’re reading this, you know that Muni is a big part of the life we love in San Francisco. Jen and Kevin really showed off their love for our city with their wedding. Jen tells us how and why they made Muni such a big part of their big day. There was even Muni-shaped chocolate!!!
Muni was a huge aid in our falling in love. It gave us 30-40 minutes a day to talk to each other, which is why I call it fake dating.
On the way home from our engagement weekend we both came up with the idea that our table names could be the name of stops along the 1 route. And from there we decided that we were going to have a Muni-themed wedding.
We took our engagement pictures on Muni. Both of our save the date and wedding invitation stationery were custom-made for us with a Muni theme.
The table names were bus stops on the 1 route between California and Divisadero and Clay and Grant.
We gave our guests bus-shaped chocolate inside a box. On top of the box were Muni Fast Passes.
We even incorporated the Muni logo and graphics on the photobooth photo strips as well as our welcome brochures.
We were really happy how both the stationery and pictures on the bus turned out, and how they worked together. We got a lot of people really excited about our story and really excited about the city.
When I told everyone here in San Francisco that we were having a Muni-themed wedding, I got made fun of, or not taken seriously, and they couldn’t wrap their head around it or even fathom the idea. It was awesome to prove that a dirty, stinky bus (that is often times the bane of our existence) could be really classy and romantic.

Thanks, Jen! Bask in this couple’s happiness for a while before we return with more Muni stories, hopefully one from you!

Ride Muni like a boss. Our Fast Pass Clipper card holders and Muni Diaries T-shirts are all on sale 
Pretty neat! Just curious if they got all the old Fast Passes via a Craigslist post or something.

It wasn’t an easy task to get all those fast passes. We harassed our friends and coworkers and luckily had a few friends who had a bunch them around their house

Hi Michelle,
I got the dress from Bridal Galleria in the Embarcadero Center. The designer is Marisa. Glad you like it!

I think any resident of SF would appreciate a wedding with as cool of a theme as this. The muni is a lot cleaner than the NYC subway.
