Getting Hitched on Sesame Street

Annie Evans is a writer for Sesame Street. Martin Robinson is a puppeteer who brings Snuffy, Telly, and Slimey the worm to life on the show. Last week, the two, who are long-time friends and colleagues, were married last week in a ceremony on the Sesame Street set that included a cameo appearance by Oscar the Grouch. In the 1980s, two Sesame Street characters, Maria and Louis, were married on the show (see video below) as part of an arc designed to show children the progression of a relationship from friendship to love, to marriage and family. Evans and Robinson’s ceremony was less traditional than that one, but, judging by the pictures and video in the New York Times “vows” section, no less adorable. Congratulations and best wishes to the happy couple!
