Unfortunately, the coronavirus pandemic prevented it from happening and forced a postponement until August 1, 2020. I was at the time that the family was informed of two sad events as the wedding day drew near: the priest who was supposed to perform the ceremony had passed away tragically and there was a storm warning in the area.
Even though the wedding would have to be rescheduled, Peter wasn’t going to disappoint his sister. In a desperate attempt to pull off the wedding, he booked a room at the Brazillian Court Hotel in Palm Beach and proceeded to marry people using his valid minister license that he had obtained the previous year. As a result, Sally’s brother officiated her and her current husband, Ali Sadri,’s happy marriage.
