That’s the message Makeita Wilson and her fiancé Shancton Thompson told the world when they recited their wedding vows Saturday at the Black Lives Matter mural painted on Fulton Street in Brooklyn.
“I was laying in bed and had the craziest thought of getting married on the mural,” Wilson told Patch. “Through all the tragedies that’s going on in the the world, [I thought], let’s put some happiness and love back into the universe.”
The couple, together for more than a decade, became engaged in April 2019. The Brooklynites had planned to wed in June, but delayed the nuptials because of COVID-19.
Wilson wore a fitted white gown and carried a large bouquet of pink, white and blue blooms. She and Thompson, who work a short-sleeved pink button-down shirt under a vest, tied the knot at a socially distanced ceremony attended by 30 friends and relatives.
The Fulton Street mural, outside the Billie Holiday Theatre, was the first bearing the oversized yellow letters on a New York City roadway. Since June, seven other murals have materialized, including one in front of Trump Tower in Manhattan.
