The event was attended by only five people composed of the newlyweds, the groom’s parents and the marriage officiant.
When asked how she felt about the quick wedding, the bride said she didn’t mind at all, adding that she was satisfied with how it all turned out.
She then explained that it was extremely important to allow her husband to return to work with peace of mind.
