A couple from Massachusetts had a shocking wedding on Saturday.
Aaron Sawitsky and Denice McClure were in the middle of their socially aloof outdoor ceremony when lightning struck from an impending thunderstorm. The sudden bolt flashed across the water from where they were standing and was quickly followed by a crackling tree just after the bridgeman joked: “Let’s be honest, 2020 has not been the best year.”

Sawitsky was not immediately available for comment at this time because he and his new wife were away from their honeymoon at the time of publication.

So, I think the only thing you can do is look and be, ‘Yup. Yes, that’s 2020. ‘And that kind of laughs,’ he added.

The chance that lightning strikes at a wedding – and punctuating the bridegroom’s joke – is probably unpredictable. However, the chance of being struck by lightning is approximately 1 in 280,000, according to current records from the National Lightning Safety Institute. Remarkably, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention adds that 32% of lightning injuries occur indoors.
