What was supposed to be a special day over the weekend instead became an emotional roller coaster for a bride whose family couldn't attend her wedding after Southwest Airlines canceled thousands of flights around the country.
What was supposed to be a special day over the weekend instead became an emotional roller coaster for a bride whose family couldn't attend her wedding after Southwest AirlinesKimberli Romano and Kyle Hlavaty live in Chicago, along with most of her family. The couple flew to Las Vegas for their weekend wedding on Wednesday, October 6, and didn't have any issues.
"So, I call my parents immediately and told them double-check everything because we just got notification that the flight was canceled," she said."And, of course, it turns out that it was, and I was freaking out. I was so emotional. With everything being so fluid due to the pandemic, the couple rethought their plans in March 2020 and opted for a smaller ceremony with 18 guests in Overton, Nevada, about 60 miles east of Las Vegas.Romano's family looked at flying into neighboring airports in Phoenix, Los Angeles and San Diego -- anything that would get them in the general vicinity, but to no avail.
Romano was able to get her parents on a scheduled flight out of Milwaukee for Sunday morning at 6 but learned at midnight that even that flight had been canceled, as well.
