Lyndsey Fuhrman and Allen Sanders were supposed to get married on the Outer Banks on Friday, but Hurricane Dorian has other plans.

The Pennsylvania couple had to quickly change around their plans as Dorrian makes its way up the East Coast.

The pair had a small, intimate wedding on Tuesday morning.

The planning coordinator Diane Nordstrom, owner of Nordstrom Events, told 13News Now the wedding took place in Kitty Hawk. She said following the ceremony, they had a luncheon reception at Duck Woods Country Club.

"Originally, they were to be married on Friday, but of course we had to move everything up because of the evacuation,” Nordstorm said. "Sometimes you just have to make the best of a bad situation!"
