Newlyweds Beth and Scott Wimsley of Huntingdon Valley have SEPTA to thank for getting them to their wedding last weekend. No, they did not stand at a bus stop with 20 of their family and friends.
They were in a limo bus en route to the ceremony when it broke down and an array of men and women dressed to the nine's in tux's and gowns could be seen on the side of the Roosevelt Blvd. It seemed like there was no way to get everyone in the group to the wedding in time for the Wimsley's to tie the knot.
That was until, yes! SEPTA driver Jay Sowel showed up in his bus which looked more like a magic carpet that day. He saw the unusual crowd of people standing along the Boulevard and stopped to see what was up. The wedding boarded the bus and as Sowel played wheel man for the grateful bunch, they broke out in a rendition of "Tiny Dancer."
At least for one day SEPTA wasn't just a transportation service, but a savior. Maybe the next time your train or bus is late, just think of his happy story.
