The couple exchanged 'I do's' on the street as their friend officiated the ceremony from a fourth-story window.
Marriage license in hand, they were planning to get married at the courthouse after taking a few work calls at home. They were walking out the door when Jennings saw that de Blasio announced the marriage bureau would also be closed.
Jennings, who works in marketing at WeWork, said the pair frantically messaged their friends looking for someone who could perform the ceremony. Their friend, Matt Wilson, said he was ordained by the city clerk and could marry them. Jennings asked whether he was available in the next 90 minutes. The couple then exchanged"I do's" in a ceremony that Jennings said took about three minutes as neighbors and friends cheered from a safe distance away. They took some photos, and on the way home, they picked up a pizza and opened a bottle of champagne.
