旧金山市政厅「恐龙新人」身份揭晓：穿充气霸王龙装拍婚纱照，视频疯传逾430万次
位于加利福尼亚州旧金山县的旧金山市政厅里，一对穿着充气霸王龙服装的新人10月8日在大楼梯上拍婚纱照，被路人随手拍下发上网，视频播放量冲破430万次。两人当时没有公开身份，直到近日才接受《人物》杂志独家采访揭晓：新郎是34岁的何塞·孔特雷拉斯（José Contreras），新娘是37岁的加布里埃拉·埃尔南德斯（Gabriela Hernández）。
据《人物》杂志报道，两人都是汽车金融顾问，已经交往五年。穿恐龙装是埃尔南德斯的主意，因为她特别喜欢恐龙、也喜欢变装；两套充气霸王龙服装是他们提前从亚马逊订购的。照片里，新娘的霸王龙装下面露出高跟鞋，头上戴着婚纱头纱、手里拿着花束，新郎的霸王龙装则配了一条白色领结。
孔特雷拉斯向《人物》杂志澄清，两人并没有穿着恐龙装宣誓：充气装穿着行动不便，当天天气又特别热，他们先穿正规婚礼礼服完成了仪式，之后才换上恐龙装拍照。他说，在场不少陌生人也被逗乐，纷纷举起手机拍照。
这段视频的走红纯属偶然。据《人物》杂志与《纽约邮报》报道，当天，旧金山居民里奥·德莱昂（Río De Léon）只是到市政厅欣赏建筑，从顶层往下拍摄时，镜头右移正好扫到等在楼梯上拍照的这对「恐龙新人」。他当天就把视频发到 Instagram，配文称自己「偶然目睹两只恐龙在旧金山市政厅结婚」。据《人物》杂志统计，这条视频已获得超过430万次播放和47.5万个赞；《纽约邮报》10月10日最初报道时，该视频的点赞数约为28.3万。
评论区的网友很快找到了婚礼摄影师凯特·拉斯卡佐娃（Kate Rasskazova）。她第二天也发布了这对新人的视频，获得约28万次播放，并写道两人是真的穿着恐龙装来旧金山市政厅办婚礼、新娘还穿着高跟鞋；但她当时没有公开两人的身份。
两人是瞒着家人私奔结婚的，原本打算把婚讯保密到万圣节派对，再在派对上播放一段脱下恐龙装「揭晓身份」的视频给亲友一个惊喜。孔特雷拉斯说，他们看到视频在网上传开时完全震惊：「我们根本不知道有人在拍我们！」
更巧的是，一些亲戚在不知情的情况下把这条疯传视频转发给了他们，还说「这看起来就像你们俩会在婚礼上做的事」。两人向《人物》杂志表示，来自世界各地网友的祝福让他们非常感动，这段经历「变成了一次非常有趣又难忘的回忆」。（来源：《人物》杂志）
San Francisco's Viral T. Rex Newlyweds Break Their Silence: 'We Had No Idea Someone Was Recording Us'
At San Francisco City Hall in San Francisco County, California, a couple posing for wedding photos on the grand staircase in inflatable Tyrannosaurus rex costumes on October 8 were filmed by a passerby, and the video has since topped 4.3 million views. The pair did not go public at the time. They have now identified themselves in an exclusive PEOPLE interview: the groom is José Contreras, 34, and the bride is Gabriela Hernández, 37.
According to PEOPLE, both work as auto finance consultants and have been together for five years. Wearing dinosaur costumes was Hernández's idea, because she loves dinosaurs and dressing up; the couple ordered the two inflatable T. rex suits from Amazon in advance. In the photos, the bride's high heels poke out beneath her costume, and she wears a veil and carries a bouquet, while the groom's T. rex wears a white bow tie.
Contreras clarified to PEOPLE that the couple did not actually say their vows in the costumes: the inflatable suits were too difficult to get married in, especially on a particularly hot day, so they held their ceremony in regular wedding attire and changed into the dinosaur costumes afterward for photos. He said several strangers at City Hall were amused and took photos of them as well.
The video went viral entirely by chance. According to PEOPLE and the New York Post, San Francisco resident Río De Léon had simply stopped by City Hall that day to admire the architecture. Filming from the top floor, he panned right and spotted the newlyweds in dinosaur costumes waiting on the grand staircase. He posted the clip to Instagram the same day, captioning it that he had "casually witnessed two dinosaurs getting married at city hall in San Francisco." PEOPLE reports the video has now amassed more than 4.3 million views and 475,000 likes; when the New York Post first reported it on October 10, the video had about 283,000 likes.
Commenters quickly identified the wedding photographer, Kate Rasskazova. She posted her own video of the couple the next day, which drew about 280,000 views, writing that they really did wear dinosaur costumes to their San Francisco City Hall wedding and that the bride wore heels. At the time, she kept the couple's identity private.
The couple had eloped without telling their families and planned to keep the wedding secret until a Halloween party, where they intended to show a reveal video of themselves taking off the dinosaur costumes. Seeing the clip spread online came as a complete shock, Contreras said: "We had no idea someone was recording us!"
In a further twist, some relatives forwarded the viral video to the couple without realizing it was them, saying it looked like something the two would do at their wedding. The newlyweds told PEOPLE that the warm wishes from people all over the world have been amazing to read, and that the episode "turned out to be such a fun and memorable experience." (Source: PEOPLE)
