NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. – Pandemic wedding postponements have led to more ceremonies this summer.
One of our NewsChannel colleagues who canceled a wedding date last summer due to the pandemic finally tied the knot.
Ryan Fish and Kelsey Christensen said their vows at the Environmental Nature Center near her old high school in Newport Beach.
One of her younger sisters officiated the ceremony.
The newlyweds took an electric boat ride to their reception at the Newport Harbor Yacht Club.
After their honeymoon, they will settle in Tucson, Arizona where Fish will be reporting at KGUN-TV.

âI had three kids this morning bring up miscarriages of their family members,â she says. âThey talked about how devastating it was for their family and [wanted to understand] why not every pregnancy results in a live baby.â
A reported one in four pregnancies will end in miscarriage; the number may even be higher, given that many people do not know theyâre pregnant when their body passes a non-viable pregnancy. Yet to Christensenâs knowledge, miscarriage, much like abortion, is not included in public sexual education curricula.
âHonestly, probably because itâs too close to abortion,â Christensen says. âPeople are so uneducated about [miscarriage], and abortion is so politicized, that I think itâs one of those things where we leave it out in an effort not to get into trouble for something seen as controversial.â
