subject: Romney Makes A Surprise Stop At A New Jersey Wedding [print this page] Mitt Romneys arrival at a New Jersey fund-raiser on Wednesday capped a breakneck drive along New Jerseys highways followed by a surreal pursuit by an Orthodox Jewish cheap prom dresses 2012 party, according to a reporter on the trip.
After a campaign appearance in Des Moines and a flight to Newark Liberty International Airport, Mr. Romney, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, was whisked by motorcade along the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway.
Hitting speeds of up to 90 miles per hour, and escorted by unmarked police cars, the motorcade arrived in Lakewood, a city about 50 miles south of the airport, at 3:35 p.m., five minutes ahead of schedule and more than 80 minutes before the event was set to begin, according to a pool report distributed dresses to wear to a wedding news organizations.
The pool reporter, Holly Bailey of Yahoo News, noted that a trip that was meant to take over an hour was completed in 45 minutes.
The campaign contended that while the press van might have hit 90 m.p.h. to catch up with Mr. Romneys car, the candidate was not traveling that fast. Speeds are dictated by the Secret Service and the local police, the cheap wedding dresses noted. In 2007, Gov. Jon S. Corzine of New Jersey suffered multiple injuries in a crash on the Garden State Parkway. The sport utility vehicle carrying him was traveling 91 m.p.h., 26 miles an hour above the speed limit.
Members of Mr. Romneys party arrived safely at Lake Terrace, a hall that serves the areas large Jewish community and is known for grand opulence and the renowned Greenwald Caterers kosher menus.
According to the pool report, the motorcade was greeted by a variety of festive figures, including a man wearing American flag shorts who ran toward the hall yelling Whooooo!
Mr. Romney then seemed to briefly commit the worst type of social sin: upstaging a bride at her wedding. An Orthodox Jewish wedding party was taking pictures outside Lake Terrace, according to the pool report, but as the candidates car drove up, the family abandoned the bride and groom and began chasing Romneys car in the parking lot, waving cameras.
