NEW LONDON, Conn. — It's not unusual for folks to get married on a weekday, but it's not often you hear about the wedding being held inside of a neonatal intensive care unit.
Grier Stanley and Jason Barnwell were due to be married on April 30 but, "Drue had other plans," said Jason Barnwell on Wednesday.
Drue Barnwell is the couple's daughter, who was born April 21 in Lawrence & Memorial Hospital in New London just 28 weeks into Grier's pregnancy.​​
