The day didn't turn out quite the way they planned, but this couple made the best of it.

, Christine and Gannon Karmire were hoping that their November 2021 nuptials would go off without a hitch, but the bride ended up dancing the night away with a mannequin version of her groom instead. It's a wedding story for the ages and one that the newlyweds will certainly never forget.

Alas, fate had other plans for the 28-year-old, who was given a sedative to help him fight off his illness. The visiting policies at the North Carolina couple's local hospital meant that Christine couldn't have visited her groom anyway, so once she knew that he was getting the care he needed, she had to make some quick decisions on how to proceed.The bride opted to cancel the ceremony portion of the day but the sit-down dinner had already been prepared and would have gone to waste.

"I was so upset he couldn't be with us but when we found out his illness was not life-threatening, it was certainly easier to celebrate, although the sadness was still there. There are just some things that are out of our control," she explained. As it turns out, the couple's guests got a kick out of"Stick Gannon" and had fun dancing and posing with him .

Interestingly enough, this wasn't the first mishap in the Karmires' journey to the altar. The lovebirds had first planned to tie the knot in September 2020 but postponed their wedding until the following year in the hopes that the COVID-19 situation would improve by then. In the meantime, they said"I do" in front of immediate family in their backyard in July 2020.
