NYC singleton runs Brooklyn Half Marathon in a wedding dress while on the hunt for a husband: ‘He might be at the finish line!'
Don't call her a runaway bride.
An entrant in Saturday's Brooklyn Half Marathon was seen running in a wedding gown — but she wasn't bolting from the altar a la Julia Roberts' character in the 1999 rom-com.
Conversely, Tess Tregellas was on the hunt for a man to say 'I do.'

'My husband might be at the finish line,' the 28-year-old Brooklynite blushed in a video captured before the event began.

Tregellas told The Post after the race that she didn't happen upon a hubby while wearing white, saying the stunt may have spooked off suitors.

'No proposals from any man. Honestly, I think I scare men away,' she quipped. 'But women love it and that's really what it's for — to encourage women that you can be a bride any day of your life!'
In the meantime, Tregellas, who is a comedian, did manage to bring a whole lot of love to the half marathon.
'I had a sign on my butt that said 'Just hopeful' to play on the 'Just married' trope on the back of a car after a wedding,' she stated. 'A lot of people asked to take my picture, which I loved because I felt like a celebrity. It also opens up a lot of conversation and you get to know the people who are running alongside you.'

Tregellas' time was 2:33:44, but said she wasn't watching the clock during Saturday's half marathon,
'I was really just doing it for the vibes,' she stated. 'I love race day energy and while I do enjoy running, I prefer running in a wedding dress.'

Indeed, this isn't the first time the comedian has run the Brooklyn Half in the gown. She pulled off the same stunt last year, sharing snaps with her 203,000 Instagram followers.
'I'm a comedian and I started doing this wedding dress bit about two years ago when I ran down [Manhattan's] West Side Highway in a wedding dress chasing the shirtless hot men running,' she revealed.
'No dates, but I got a lot of laughs — and as a comedian that's the goal. It was also just so much fun!'
Next month, Tregellas is taking to the stage to discuss her dating misadventures in a solo show titled 'EPIC,' to be held at the Slipper Room on Manhattan's Lower East Sode.
'It's about a hopeless romantic looking for something epic in a world of casual dating,' she explained.
'Dating can be so tough in New York, especially as a comedian. I was trying to be whatever I thought my dates wanted me to be. A lot of people were just looking for 'something casual' but what I really wanted was something EPIC,' she explained.
'What is more epic than running a half marathon in a wedding dress?'

'Beyond the Gates' Stars Reunite for Emotional Music Night with Jesse Ruben originally appeared on Parade. Some Beyond the Gates cast members came together this weekend for a night of music and celebration, as they supported singer-songwriter Jesse Ruben, who just so happens to be married to one of the break out stars of the soap opera, Jen Jacob. Actress Karla Mosley shared a photo on Instagram of actress Margot Bingham, herself, Mike Manning, Jesse Ruben and his wife Jen Jacob, Tamara Tunie and Jerri Tubbs. Mosley captioned the photo saying, 'What a GIFT to celebrate @ supremely talented husband @ nights like this that make me feel like it's all going to be ok. 💗Check out his music (I did) or have him bring his positive message to your kiddos' school (I'm gonna)! Your heart will thank you.(And special shout out to friend of all my friends @margotbingham for guesting and KILLING IT. I want to swim in your voice.)' Jacob replied to the post, commenting, 'I want to SWIM in @margotbingham voice yes!!!! @karlamose you have the most special heart. I wanna be you when I grow up ❤️' to which Mosley said, 'It's the absolute truth! ❤️' Manning commented, 'A perfect example of the healing power of art.' Ruben recently shared information about his 'The Let's Talk About It Tour' stating, 'After spending so long stuck in my apartment, it's been so great being back on the road. PA/NJ/CT you're up next, followed by Florida and Maine and then all over the place in the fall for the new album. Some of these are house shows so check my website or reach out to me to rsvp. Can't wait to see your faces! And let me know where I should play in the fall! Info and tix in my bio.' Earlier this year, Ruben shared a personal post reflecting on the past and being excited about the future, sharing, ''Better' is a word I have a really tough relationship with. About 18 months ago I posted that I would be taking a break from social media/life/music stuff to deal with health issues. But at that point it had already been going on for 2 years. I've been very hesitant to say this out loud, because I've gotten my hopes up before. But I'm finally is not a post about how all you have to do is think positive thoughts and you'll get better eventually. I don't believe that. I got better because after dozens of doctors and tens of thousands of dollars on testing and treatment, I finally (and extremely luckily) found something that people handle health issues with grace and hope. I am not one of them. This time around was way harder than last time. It was really scary. And lonely. And frustrating. All I wanted was to be a normal person again, and do normal person things. Take a walk. Go to the grocery store. Spend time with people. Sometimes I pushed myself to do those things when I shouldn't have. Sometimes (a lot of the time) I took it out on @ when she didn't deserve looking back, I can see now how many people showed up. Called to check on me. Came to New York to spend time with me. Paid for treatment when we couldn't afford it. I wouldn't have gotten through the last 3 years without it.I'm not gonna lie, it's very overwhelming to start all over again in Atlanta. But I cannot wait to get back to touring and writing and performing and releasing music and being with people and finding my team and being a person and a partner to Jen and a dog dad to @grahamsandwich, and to continue to help anyone impacted by Lyme disease with @generation_lyme, and to work with as many young people as possible with @ year, I won't be so precious. I'll be releasing a ton of songs, restarting my Patreon, finishing writing my musical, and just generally doing and seeing and traveling as much as I can. If you host a house concert series, or work with kids, or are getting married and want me to play, ASK and I'll make it work. I've missed being around people the most. I'm excited to be back. Love you guys.' Tickets for Ruben's tour can be found here.
