A fourth-grade teacher in Falmouth, Maine, has apologized for playing the groom in a mock wedding to a student as reported by The Forecaster.

The principal told parents that teacher Paul Rosenblum of Plummer-Motz School agreed when the female student proposed to him.

At a ceremony held in the playground, Rosenblum wore a black graduation gown and a clown tie and the girl had a sheet draped around her clothes for her gown, according to the report.

At the end, Rosenblum said there was no kiss. Instead they held hands and ran down the gazebo ramp toward the library.

Of course, the school received several phone calls about the incident. Superintendent Barbara Powers declined to say whether any action will be taken against the 22-year teaching veteran.

"There is nothing more to the story," Rosenblum told the paper. "My apology is out there for all to see."

How do you feel about the "marriage?" Should there be consequences for Rosenblum?
