COUPLE GETS MATCHING TATTOOS OF WEDDING DATE; THEN CORONAVIRUS HIT

Fionnuala Kearney and Francis Donald, an engaged couple from Northern Ireland, set their wedding date for Oct. 16, 2020. During a vacation to Turkey last June, in 2019, Kearney and Donald had time to kill before their flight home, so they did some bar hopping and spontaneously decided to get matching tattoos on their forearms. They decided the tattoos would be their wedding date, written in Roman numerals: XVI-X-MMXX (16-10-2020). All was well, until the pandemic hit and the wedding venue called to tell them they had to postpone their wedding. The couple has moved their date to April 22, 2021, but now they’re stuck with tattoos of the wrong wedding date.
* That story’s gonna be great to tell to people who ask them about their tattoos, the first hundred times anyway.
* They don’t have one friend who could get a minister’s license online by October 16?
* Tattoo parlors should do mandatory alcohol level screening before inking somebody – but I guess then they’d go out of business.
* The couple is registered at Long-Sleeve Sweater Barn.
