SAN ANTONIO – A couple tied the knot during the Fiesta Flambeau Parade Saturday night in San Antonio, turning a once-a-year parade into a once-in-a-lifetime moment.
As the illuminating floats were getting ready to roll through downtown, Joann and Oscar Mermea stepped into the spotlight — surrounded by family, friends, and hundreds of parade-goers.
With the sounds of Fiesta all around them, the couple said “I do,” and plenty of people stopped to celebrate.
No word yet on where they are headed for a honeymoon, but for one night, they had all of downtown San Antonio as their reception.
