Couple gets married at closed Canada border so bride's parents and 96-year-old grandma could attend

For those who live on the U.S.-Canada border, crossing between to two is commonplace. Karen Mahoney, who now lives in New York state, used to visit her family in Quebec every week. But during the pandemic, the borders closed – and it threw a wrench in her wedding plans.

Mahoney was set to marry Brian Ray, who grew up just over the border from her in New York. The pair met when they were kids when Ray taught Mahoney how to ski.

Thirty-five years later, their friendship turned to love and Ray proposed to Mahoney on the ski slope.
