Hundreds of couples will get married during the total solar eclipse on Monday at a park in Arkansas.
All a couple needs is a wedding license and something special to wear. The wedding officiant is provided who is ready to marry them – along with dozens of other couples who are just as excited as they are to start a new life together. Decorations, flowers, wedding cake, and a bottle of sparkling fruit drink are all provided at no cost to the bride and groom. The celestial ceremony concludes just minutes before totality takes place with over 4 minutes of complete darkness.
Carlotta Cox and Matthew Holloway of Knoxville, Tennessee will be exchanging vows before the skies go dark and Cox says, “Being in the path of totality during a solar eclipse is just something. There’s not an experience like it and for people that have not really experienced it, I recommend that they put it on their bucket list.” Cox added, “When totality hits, the cicadas come out, and then all the other animals, night animals, they’re starting to come out for a few minutes and then the temperature drops. I dont know how to explain the feeling that it gives you.”
Russellville will host more than 300 couples from numerous states at the city’s soccer complex.
