You...And You And You May Kiss The Bride

WYPR - 88.1 FM Baltimore | By Gil Sandler
Published May 16, 2014 at 7:30 AM EDT

During WWII, Baltimore's Penn Station was a busy, frenetic point of arrival and departure for thousands of servicemen and women.  The station had a lot going on within it - including perhaps what was the first wedding ever to be performed in a railroad station.  A lot of soldiers and sailors got to kiss the bride!
