The coronavirus pandemic forced Savannah Kulenic and Dylan Perkins to cancel their Hawaiian wedding day, honeymoon and other celebrations. The couple, from Raleigh, proceeded with a last minute ceremony on the North Carolina coast instead.
They ended up having to wait until the last minute for the groom's wedding band because the company making the band had temporarily closed due to the pandemic.
Just in time, the company reopened and agreed to send the band overnight. The ceremony was scheduled for 3 p.m., but the ring wasn't set to arrive until 4:30 p.m.
"We had to leave a note on the front door to ask if he would bring the ring down to the beach," read a Facebook post from Seaside Topsail Photography. "We began the ceremony on the beach and at the end of the ceremony, my friend, Brandy, yelled, 'Look! It's the FedEx man!'"

WNCN-TV confirmed the driver to be Joe Engel, who said he was so happy he didn't "ruin it" by being late with the special delivery.
"I'm so happy that they had a great wedding," Engel told the local station, "and I didn't ruin it by being the last-minute ring bearer."
