When the bride’s family couldn’t come to the wedding, this couple brought the wedding to them.KarenMahoney and Brian Ray got engaged six months ago and were excited to plan their nuptials, there was just one thing standing in the way - travel restrictions. The bride’s mother, father and 96-year-old grandmother all live in Canada and she couldn’t imagine getting married without them there.
So the couple waited and watched the updates on travel between the U.S.-Canadian border, hopeful her family would be able to travel to New York state for the wedding. But with the border still closed, the bride and groom decided to tie the knot in the only place they could to have her relatives there - at the actual border between the U.S. and Canada in Burke, New York.
Karen and Brian exchanged vows on the U.S. side while her mom, dad and grandma watched from Canada, just a few feet away. “That’s all I wanted,” she says. And while her dad wishes he could have walked his daughter down the aisle, he says witnessing her marriage from across the border was the next best thing. “We would not have missed it,” says the father of the bride,Paul Mahoney. “Not for the world.”
