Josh Radnor and his wife Jordana Jacobs' wedding unexpectedly turned into a sleepover!
According to reports, Josh, 49, and the clinical psychologist, 36, married in an outdoor ceremony on January 6 at the Cedar Lakes Estate in Hudson Valley, New York. However, their meticulously planned ceremony took an unexpected turn when a blizzard disrupted traffic throughout the area, forcing their 174 guests to spend the night at the site.
Despite the forecast, the couple's loved ones banded together for the wedding, braving the cold to witness Radnor and Jacobs exchange vows as snow fell around them.
"We’re like the post office,” Radnor's HIMYM co-star Alyson Hannigan told The New York Times, nodding to the postal service's "neither snow nor rain" motto.
After the snowy outdoor wedding, Radnor used a blow dryer to dry Jacobs' feet before the reception. Although 115 visitors had planned to spend the night in the venue's cabins, the remaining more than 50 attendees were cautiously checking their phones for weather updates while partying.
"We could feel the stress," Jacobs told The New York Times.
At 10:30 p.m. that night, a member of the venue staff informed that the snow and slippery conditions rendered driving difficult, and that everyone, including the 10-person wedding band, event coordinators, and venue personnel, would have to stay overnight.
"Once it was announced, 'No one is leaving here tonight,' people went into a little bit of surrender mode," Radnor told the source. The band apparently played The Beatles' song "Oh! Darling," and everyone danced and let their worries go.
HIMYM's director, Pamela Fryman, joked with The New York Times, "When they renew their vows, maybe they can do it in the spring."
Radnor and Jacobs first met at a sound meditation retreat in February 2022, and the actor later relocated from Los Angeles to Brooklyn to be with his partner. He's also a musician, and he announced his marriage during a live event in New York City in November after performing a song named "Brooklyn Girl," apparently about Jacobs.
The pair told The New York Times that the impromptu all-night celebration at their wedding felt like the perfect way to commemorate their love. "It was about as analogous to a psychedelic ceremony as you can get," Jacobs told me.
In an Instagram post commemorating the occasion, the Fleishman Is in Trouble actress said, "I got married! Two weeks ago. In a *light* blizzard."
