Taylor Swift performed a concert at our wedding – but she had no idea
This couple ushered in a new era in their life together – saying “yes” during a Taylor Swift concert in a three-minute ceremony.
Rene Maria Avalos, 30, who goes by Rene Hurtado, and Maxwell P. Bochman, 32, were married at State Farm Stadium in Phoenix during the March 18 stop of Swift’s Eras Tour.
It was the perfect interlude between the pop star’s costume change after her performance of “All Too Well.”
“We knew it was the best time,” Hurtado told The New York Times.
The couple purchased four front-row seats for around $1,000 each in Glendale, Arizona. They brought their two friends, Alicia Witmer, who served as bridesmaid and officiant, and her fiancé, Josh Wineriter, the Times reported.
The bride wore a white satin midi dress and veil, the groom wore a black tuxedo and both punctuated their bridal looks with Eras Tour VIP pass straps that earned them early admission.
The vows were recited between the change of scenery from Swift’s “Red” album to the “Folklore” era, and the couple exchanged rings and kissed in the three-minute milestone.
Hurtado shared the moment of his wildest dreams in a TikTok viewed more than 7.3 million times.
“At first, none of the fans around us really knew what was going on, but after our first kiss, everyone burst into joy,” Hurtado told The Times. “They really created this moment for us with their support.”
The ultimate wedding favor? A member of Swift’s stage crew presented the newlyweds with one of the singer’s guitar picks, and the “Lavender Haze” singer liked a fan’s TikTok video of the wedding a day later, according to the post.
Bochman proposed in September 2021 after seven years with Hurtado, whom he met while working at a Ghirardelli store in Stockton, California.
