Despite bans on gatherings and social distancing becoming the norm during the coronavirus pandemic, a New York City couple still found a way to celebrate their love with a surprise wedding.
The couple had originally planned to get married in October, but fearing their venue would be closed and with travel restrictions becoming more severe, they decided to move up their nuptials. Jennings told NBC News that the couple were worried about the cost of a wedding, as the gym where Wheeler works had to close because of the pandemic.Katie Kaufman-Gibbons
Jennings and Wheeler rushed to the Marriage Bureau Thursday to get a copy of their marriage license, which they received without issue. But as they were about to leave their apartment to return for Friday's ceremony, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that the Marriage Bureau would be closing indefinitely.
"I definitely panicked," Jennings said."I was freaking out a little bit. I just wanted to get it done." Hoping they would still be able to get married, Jennings and Wheeler messaged their friends, trying desperately to find someone who was certified to officiate a wedding in New York City. Luckily, they discovered that Wilson was certified by the city clerk to perform such a ceremony. He enthusiastically agreed.
