One year later, Maria Yoon's project "Maria the Korean Bride," (almost) a 10 year odyssey of a first generation Korean-American who marries in all fifty states provides the window for this unique look at the evolving institution of marriage. This project has created a great deal of feedback from all across America. I have been witness to some of the best of America and unfortunately some of its worst too.   My final and 50th Wedding is scheduled to take place on Sun, May 22nd in Times Square, NYC with a Mystery NY Groom. Jimmy McMillan, Rent is Too Damn High Party, will officiate the Wedding. Please go to my website for more.
