Jake Cox explains to Dakota News Now the couple wanted to get married on December 28th. However, due to his commitments to A Christmas Carol production, he thought he wouldn't be able to help Victoria and Tyler Johnson. Jake jokingly said they should just get married during the show. Luckily, the couple took his suggestion seriously. “Almost as a joke, I suggested they come to the play, and I’d marry them during intermission. They surprised me by immediately saying yes," says Cox.

With a little bit of Christmas magic, Jake was able to marry Victoria and Tyler in front of family members who also attended the show.
