In a pandemic landscape where big weddings still don’t make sense to many, the wedding that Angela Horan and Gary Bergstrom put on March 20 at their seven-acre property in Myakka, Fla., did to them, somehow. Though at the time, Floridians were being encouraged not to gather in groups of more than 10, Ms. Horan and Mr. Bergstrom said they knew most of their 300 guests had been vaccinated or had Covid antibodies. And given the magnitude of the hurdles they had scaled as a couple, they decided an extra-large celebration was worth the risk.

It wasn t the typical first date after Angela Horan and Gary Bergstrom met at Seasons 52 in Sarasota on March 17, 2015.
They had come together through the Plenty of Fish dating site, and unlike many who launch profiles, they were honest with each other about everything.
Almost everything.
Horan did leave out one important tidbit. She was wearing a control unit and battery pack that ran her left ventricular assist device. Simply put, she had a mechanically controlled heartbeat. Nowhere on her profile did it say, I am dying, Bergstrom said.

Justin Matthews reports
MYAKKA CITY, Fla. - Angela Horan and Gary Bergstrom s love story began online; they went to dinner in Sarasota after meeting on a dating website.
During that time, Angela was in dire need of a heart transplant. She had a left ventricular assist device to keep her heart functioning, but she lived each day not knowing if she ll see the next. I knew that it was possible that I could die. Obviously, I was hoping something would happen before then because lots of people that are on the transplant list don’t live to get the transplant or die in surgery, Horan said.
