How COOL is this elopement? How utterly badass is it to say, "We're going to split up and then run to meet each other and get married. And let's do it on the Golden Gate Bridge, 'k?"

That's what Joe and Carmen did when they got married last summer in San Francisco. The two runners wanted to keep things small and personal, so they opted for a short run to a simple ceremony on the iconic bridge. A few onlookers applauded their first kiss as husband and wife before Joe and Carmen ran off into the (equally iconic?) San Francisco fog.
