The second wedding took place in Alabama, as Simpson's family was unable to attend the first wedding due to the pandemic. Grace uploaded a series of pictures from the ceremony which was held outdoors on the lawn.

According to the lovebirds, the song not only inspired their parking lot wedding but also helped them get through hard times during the pandemic. Not surprisingly, Grace and Simpson weren't the only couples making their wedding dreams come true during the pandemic.

Many couples have been coming up with inventive ways to get hitched while obeying the safety rules. One of such creative ceremonies is that of Ashley and Claudy, who renovated their Brooklyn apartment into the perfect wedding venue with the help of Victorious Events NYC.
