Published August 27, 2020 at 6:56 AM EDT

RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Rachel Martin. 2020, man, it's been rough to say the least. Aaron Sawitsky and Denice McClure had to delay their wedding multiple times because of the pandemic. When they finally got to say their vows, this happened.

AARON SAWITSKY: Let's face it, 2020 has not been the best year.

DENICE MCCLURE: (Laughter).

(SOUNDBITE OF THUNDER CLAPPING)

MARTIN: A bolt of lightning hits the lake behind them. Aaron says the moment perfectly captured 2020 thus far. And it's a heck of a way to ring in some nuptials. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
