LOVE WAS IN THE AIR, along with a few other odors, at the Tri-Town Transfer Station in Bethel, Maine. Dave Hart and Rockie Graham recently were married at the waste site, next to piles of recyclables and garbage. The couple’s red carpet event and romantic reception was attended by 250 guests, plus the national television show “Inside Edition.”
According to Hart, the couple met three years ago while working at the transfer station, where he is the station manager and Graham works part-time. And the newlyweds just wanted to affirm their feelings for one another by hosting a wedding at their old “dumping” ground. Now, that’s love.
