"It was perfect," says groom David Poppiti, "Flash mob wedding. I love it."
At the appointed time, friends and family quickly gathered on the museum steps where Alejandra and David vowed to love one another and sealed their vow with a kiss.

David and Alejandra say they even sent out the invitations via Twitter and Facebook to give their wedding that "flash mob vibe."
