Maine couple marry at bank drive through window

A couple in Maine who were forced to cancel their dream destination wedding in Florida amid the coronavirus pandemic has gotten hitched at a bank teller's drive through window.

The bride's son walked his mom to the drive through window where they stood in front of an officiant who was on the other side of the bullet proof glass, inside the bank.

Bradley Gray and Teresa Norwood Gray were determined to keep their wedding date, despite being unable to travel to their original venue in Clearwater Beach, Florida.

The ceremony was streamed live to relatives in Florida.

Gray says he came up with the idea for the unusual wedding arrangement as a joke, but the couple eventually agreed that it could actually work.

The manager of their local bank also agreed, and discussed the idea with senior executives who allowed the event to take place – as long as it did not disrupt bank operations.

The bride says she was nervous as she walked up the driveway to the window, as light snow fell while she was dressed in a gown fit for tropical weather.

The ceremony, she says, injected an element of happiness to passersby who stopped to watch the unusual ceremony and take their minds off the uncertainties of the pandemic.

The couple say they are planning on spending their honeymoon in the groom's cabin in Maine.
