BOSTON (WHDH) - A local couple embraced the Blizzard of 2026 – even though the storm canceled their dream wedding.
Drew and Maddie were supposed to tie the knot on Monday at the Boston Public Library, followed by a reception at a restaurant in the North End.
But when the snow arrived and shut down the state, they were forced to adjust.
“They had a plan B, C and D and they ended up not even going with any of those options,” said Chris Graham, who the couple hired as a wedding photographer. “They were like, you know what, screw it we’re going to do it ourselves.”
Their families, stuck at a nearby hotel, pitched them an idea: How did they feel about just doing the wedding themselves?
So, armed with Graham, an officiant, and a foot of snow, the couple made the most of their big day, exchanging their vows in the snow streets.
“They looked at it how I always try to get brides to look at these sort of things: it is the way it is,” Graham said. “There is no point stressing about it, make the most of it, it’s unique, it’s more memorable than any other cookie cutter wedding.”
