Newlywed Couple’s Party Bus Gets ‘Storrowed’ on Way to Wedding Reception

The Watertown couple says the “Storrowing” happened when they were on a party bus on the way to their wedding reception at the Venezia Boston from St. James Armenian Church — where the “I Do’s” went off without a hitch — and one of their groomsmen felt it, as the maid of honor happened to be recording a video.

“The party bus driver passed the clearance sign at first with the chains that hang down and then inched closer to the actual bridge on Storrow, where he did scrape the top of the party bus and proceeded to reverse,” Varteni Akian explained.

The bride adds that her maid of honor is from out of state and doesn’t quite get “Storrowing” like locals do, so she was rather confused when everyone was laughing when they got stuck.

Fortunately, no one was hurt, and the couple was only 10 minutes late to their reception, with quite a story to tell their guests on the dance floor.

The couple says they knew they were meant to make a grand entrance.

“Nothing will stop us, not a bridge, not a wall,” Steve Akian said. “It couldn’t have been more perfect. It added to it it. It added to it absolutely.”
