Ohio Police Officer Steps In To Marry Couple After Minister Wasn’t Available At Courthouse

Need some positivity in your life on this final Thursday of July? I have a huge pile of positivity to drop on you and it comes from downtown Toledo, Ohio where a wedding took place this afternoon under a tree outside the courthouse. It wasn’t an ordinary wedding. Karen and Edward, who were trying to get married at the courthouse, ran into a Toledo cop and that led to one of the most unique weddings you’ll hear about this week.

A Toledo cop ended up marrying Karen and Edward and another Toledo officer stood in as best man. Someone beat this story in the positivity department and you’ll officially take the lead around here in the positivity department. Until then, I’m in the top spot.

From the Toledo Police Department:

Talk about perfect timing! This afternoon, Karen and Edward stopped Toledo Police Sergeant Lamb and asked him where to get their marriage license. Sgt. Lamb directed them where to go – however, there was no minister available. Luckily, Captain Braun is an ordained minister and was available to marry the couple right outside the courthouse. Karen’s sister, Nelly, was the Maid of Honor and Ofc. Dlugosielski stood in as the Best Man. Toledo Police are proud to announce Mr. and Mrs. Edward Brewster Jr!!

Go ahead, Good Morning America, run a positive story Friday morning. I just served it up for you.
