When the virus hit, all great plans were canceled: vacations, concerts, sporting events, and weddings. This couple found a way to get married safely--at a drive in theater. The guests watched from their decorated cars, dressed in PJs. Those that couldn't attend were able to watch the festivities on social media. The bridal party practiced proper social distancing--they were 6 feet apart.
