When You Share an Anniversary With an Eclipse

A number of couples are choosing to marry during the upcoming total solar eclipse. Several cities in the path of totality are holding mass weddings. Zach Horrall and Corlan McCollum, a social media specialist at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and children's librarian respectively, have decided to tie their wedding to a larger event, specifically the April 8, 2024, solar eclipse. They are planning an outdoor wedding timed to the three minutes and 45 seconds of totality in the Indianapolis region. The couple hopes their 75 guests will pay more attention to the eclipse than to them.

When Zach Horrall, a social media specialist at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and Corlan McCollum, a children’s librarian, got engaged two years ago, they wanted to connect their wedding to a larger event. At first, they considered Halloween, but when they realized Indianapolis was in the path of totality for the April 8, 2024, solar eclipse, they changed course.

The two are planning an outdoor wedding, with the ceremony timed to the approximately three minutes and 45 seconds of totality in the Indianapolis region. They hope their 75 guests will pay more attention to the eclipse than to them.

“It takes a little bit of the pressure off, because you’re also bringing people to experience the eclipse,” Mr. Horrall, 27, said. “They’re not just solely focused on you.”

Tying their wedding “to something like this makes it a bigger deal — like, yes, I will use this major celestial event for my wedding,” added Mr. McCollum, 21.
