CHARLESTOWN, MA — The coronavirus pandemic has cancelled many important events, even some big life moments like weddings. But a Charlestown couple who was supposed to be married Saturday still got a special surprise.

Doctors Ellen Nagami and Brendan Connell had to postpone their marriage because of the quarantine. On what would have been their special day, a parade of cars made up of family and friends drove by the couple’s home on Austin Street.

“I didn’t even expect to have this, and so I just feel incredibly grateful,” Nagami said. “We lost a party today, that’s what we lost, but we didn’t lose each other or our loved ones.”
