While on location covering the weather impact at the Tybee Island Beach Pier & Pavilion, sister station WJCL discovered a wedding party in full celebration mode.

Just minutes before, with Tropical Storm Danny's heavy rain coming down, the happy couple made it official.

Ben and Madison are from Dayton, Ohio.

"We knew there was a chance of scattered thunderstorms all week," Ben said. "We hoped this wouldn't happen, but it's not going to stop us from enjoying a great day."

Behind them was the improvised wedding reception taking place with family and friends.

"We had to minimize what we could so nothing blew out," Madison said of the wind.

The couple has lived in Ohio their whole lives but are now in the process of making the Savannah area their new home.

"We check out of our hotel on Friday and we have our keys to get our apartment in Pooler on Saturday," Ben said. "We can't wait."
