Wizbang Weekend Caption Contest™

August 26, 2011 | Filed under Weekend Caption Contest | Posted by

It’s Friday, which means it’s time for the Wizbang Weekend Caption Contest™. Enter your best caption for the following picture:

Valeriya Shevchenko, 18, evacuated a NY courthouse during the earthquake panic but the eye-catching photo of her wedding-dress dash created complications. The young bride and groom were keeping the nuptials a secret from their disapproving families -- not such an easy feat with the highly circulated image that is now being called the “Earthquake Bride.” “They’d say we’re too young and not for each other. His mom is going to go crazy,” Shevchenko told the New York Post. The couple married later that day. (Photo: TIMOTHY A. CLARY/AFP/Getty Images)

Winners will be announced Monday morning.

Update: Winners announced. Click the link to read the winning entries. The contest is now closed.

      Sadly, this is the literal truth. Both her parents and the grooms thought they were too young, so they were trying to keep it a secret.
