It's 85 degrees outside. But I found a cool way to beat the heat. I attended a wedding on ice at the Dix Hills Ice Rink Sunday. It's the place where ice hockey buffs Dena Pagnotta and Doug Orban met 10 years ago. They're members of Island Ice Hockey League. Friendship turned into love.
Doug popped the question in January. They decided to get hitched on the ice. Dena told me some people thought their idea was little strange. But she and Doug wanted their wedding day to be memorable. And it was. She glided to her groom on bridal skates. Doug's eyes filled with tears. After they exchanged "I dos," Dena and Doug took a celebratory skate around the rink in their "Bride" and "Groom" ice hockey jerseys.
You can watch Dena and Doug's magical ice wedding on an upcoming "Long Island Love Stories" segment. Tune in Tuesday, August 26 for the heart-warming story.
Do you have a cool Long Island Love Story to share? Tell me about it at [email protected].
Thanks for reading my blog :)
Cool. Story. N-ice. I liked the web version
