Lyndsey Cecilia McKenna and Nicholas Justin Bunker were supposed to run the Chicago marathon on Oct. 11, but after it was canceled they decided to make the date special another way — with a small wedding at St. Mary Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church in St. Petersburg, Fla.

“At every point the goal posts were shifting,” Ms. McKenna said. With the onset of the coronavirus in March, race after race was being canceled, along with their original wedding date, March 28, at the church, with about 200 guests.
