Melissa Duprey, right, captures the wedding of her son, Zackary Duprey, and his bride, Ariel Purcell, center, using a cell phone camera. Zackary and Ariel walked into Lewiston City Hall asking if they could get married and were told the city doesn’t perform marriages. Melissa Duprey, who owns Dee’s Market on Blake Street, called store customer John Kleiner, an ordained minister, to perform the ceremony. The couple decided to get married outside the family store as snow flakes fell on Friday afternoon. Duprey and Purcell wanted to get married before his induction into the U.S. Army in about three weeks. The couple planned to have a quiet dinner in Portland after the wedding. Standing up with the bride and groom are Joseph Santiago, left, and the bride’s sister, Arleena Purcell, right.
