Local Couple’s Ocean City Wedding Goes Off, Despite Storm Challenges

OCEAN CITY — Rising tides, road closures and power outages could not keep a local couple married during the peak of the Nor’easter from getting their new lives off to a memorable start on Friday.

The new Mr. and Mrs. Josh Kotis had their wedding as planned on Friday at Harrison’s Harbor Watch, but that was about the only element of their special day that went off as intended. Mollie and Josh began planning their wedding about a year and a half ago, including a beautiful ceremony at Sunset Park, followed by pictures on the beach and Boardwalk and a reception at Harrison’s Harborwatch.

Only the latter ultimately worked out as planned, thanks to the lingering Nor’easter that continually flooded the downtown area with rising tides, street closures and power outages, but with a little perseverance, ingenuity and resourcefulness, along with a firm resolve by everyone involved, the couple was married in a memorable ceremony and feted with an amazing reception despite the challenges.
