HINSDALE, Ill. (CBS) — New Year’s Eve at 7 a.m. isn’t the time most would pick to get married, but it made perfect sense for a couple from Bolingbrook.
Brittany Kolawole and Anthony Hawkins tied the knot Tuesday morning in Hinsdale – at a hospital of all places.
A lot of emotion is tied up in any wedding.
“You know that emoji where the head explodes? That’s what’s going on right now,” Kolawole said.
Kolawole promises it’s a good feeling.
“Like Niagara falls of happiness,” she said.
Hawkins has never had a New Year’s Eve quite like this one.
“Just bubbling full of joy and excitement,” Hawkins said.
The couple chose the date of their wedding, but the venue was born of necessity.
“My delivery doctor is down here, all my nurses, the whole labor delivery is here,” Kolawole said.
UChicago Medicine AdventHealth Hinsdale Hospital is not the setting they planned, but the option an OBGYN recommended.
