There hasn’t been a Sesame Street wedding since Maria and Luis's back in the early 1980s sometime. At least not one we’ve seen. However, a couple weeks ago, Annie Evans, one of the show's writers, and Martin Robinson, the puppeteer who plays Snuffy, Telly and Slimey the Worm, were married on the steps of 123 Sesame Street.
The story in the New York Times "Vows" column is simply adorable --- the couple, who met in 1993 and were good friends for years (even through Martin's marriage and divorce), began dating in 2002. Oscar the Grouch (given life by puppeteer Carrol Spinney) helped officiate the ceremony, and guests enjoyed dancing on the Sesame Street set. Click the video on the link –you'll see what Sesame Street would look like if used for a grown-up party (the answer to that is "awesome").
None of the other Sesame Street regulars were in attendance. Too bad, because I bet that Elmo turns into a real jerk after a few glasses of champagne.
