U.S. Representative Rich Boucher from Southwestern Virginia and his long time girlfriend Amy Hauslohner, an editor of the Galax Gazette in Galax, Virginia tied the knot on an old railroad bridge that now makes up part of the Virginia Creeper Trail.
"We have decided since I will be 60 in August and she just turned 50 last week, we probably are mature enough to handle marriage."
Before the ceremony, the couple bicycled from Abingdon to Damascus on the trail. While biking the 10 miles back to Abingdon, they stopped at the Alvarado Train Station restaurant and shared a slice from a coconut cake at the counter.
Another advantage of rail trails, the money you save on renting a wedding chapel.
