The Boston Marathon explosions have brought upon tragedies for many families who have seen their close ones seriously injured.

As I informed you, three people, among which a 29-year-old woman and an 8-year-old child, have lost their lives.

However, a couple has decided to go through with plans to get married three and a half hours after finishing the marathon.

Runners Robert Watling and Kelli Johnston have been lucky enough as to escape the explosions on Boylston Street.

They tied the knot in a marathon-themed ceremony at 6:20 p.m. in the Boston Common, BuzzFeed reports.

Both have put on running shoes and, as you can see by clicking the wedding shot above, the groom said “I do” in a tuxedo-track, a mix between a tuxedo and a running suit.
