They Got That B-Roll!

First, congratulations are in high order for our now-hitched DadWagoner Theodore. He’s a better man that he pretends to be, and we think Tomoko is getting a pretty good deal here too. What better way to celebrate than with some viral video? This one is about B-Roll, and comes from our friend Steve from the heartland of bracket-busting, Richmond, Virginia. Why B-roll? Because the blushing groom and his bride were, at the courthouse, B-roll themselves:

The TV reporter approached us, showed us photos of her kids–adorable–and asked if we would mind having our wedding filmed for her piece (no implication of identity theft–she just needed some images from the marriage bureau). I asked Tomoko (I’ve been married before, so I know how these things are done), she agreed, but I couldn’t help laughing.

“We’re B-roll!”

They got that B-roll!

  1. I can’t believe I haven’t seen that before. I lose at the internet, but I win for having seen that hilarious vid.

    Congrats on making it into some B-roll!

  2. I know, right? I’ve spent the last three days looking at everything through the “That’s that b-roll!” or “NO! That is NOT B-roll!” lens. Must de-meme.
