These Two Brides Did a Tandem 253-Pound Barbell Deadlift to Celebrate Their Wedding People celebrate wedding ceremonies in many ways. Some light a candle together, others pour sand in a jar, some even plant trees. Zeena Hernandez and Lisa Yang wanted to do something unique at their October wedding in Brooklyn. After their vows, the brides deadlifted a 253-pound barbell together. And yes, they did so while wearing their gorgeous wedding dresses and veils. "It was meant to not only be a symbol of unity but also a statement," Hernandez told Insider. "Individually we are strong, capable women—but together, we are stronger."
