Couple Weds in Inflatable T-Rex Costumes at San Francisco City Hall

San Francisco City Hall became an unlikely prehistoric scene on Thursday when a couple exchanged vows while dressed in inflatable T-Rex costumes. The pair posed for wedding photos on the building's grand staircase, drawing attention from onlookers.

One of the individuals donned a white bridal veil and carried a bouquet, adding a touch of traditional wedding flair to the unconventional attire. Photographer Kate Rasskazova, who has been in the profession for over 15 years, described the request as unique but embraced the opportunity.

"I've never had a request quite like this before, but I was so happy to get the chance to photograph people in dinosaur costumes!" Rasskazova stated. "My son has been obsessed with dinosaurs for the past two years, so for me it was truly an honor."

She added that the couple were "wonderful people with a great sense of humor" and that she supports clients' unique ideas. Another witness, San Francisco resident Rio De Léon, captured video of the ceremony. He had initially visited City Hall to admire its architecture and was surprised by the sight.

"My reaction was completely spontaneous. Dinosaurs were my favorite growing up, and even as an adult, I still get excited whenever I see them," De Léon said. "Moments like that keep me connected to my inner child, so it felt like such a funny and serendipitous thing to unexpectedly come across."

The video of the dinosaur wedding quickly gained traction online, with social media users sharing jokes and commentary about the unusual celebration. The identities of the couple remain unknown, but their wedding photos have made a memorable impression.
