Forget whirlwinds: This is a Blizzard romance

When Olivia Morris first met her now-husband Bradley Blizzard in 2021, she thought he was joking about his last name.

• “I've never heard that name other than Dairy Queen Blizzards or a blizzard snowstorm,” she told People. “I did not believe it at first.”

As the couple got more and more serious, Olivia realized that Blizzard, in fact, WAS Bradley's actual last name. Olivia couldn't help but think about the frozen Dairy Queen treat any time she was with him—one of her favorites to share with her dad in the summer growing up.

The wheel starts turning...When the couple got engaged two years ago, Olivia started daydreaming about having a "Blizzard Bar" at their wedding. She took a shot in the dark and put up a TikTok asking Dairy Queen if they could help out the soon-to-be Mr. and Mrs. Blizzard. 

As the power of social media often does...The algorithm worked its magic and got Olivia in touch with DQ executives. Before she knew it, her Blizzard wedding bucket list was coming true. 

The fast food chain not only sponsored an engagement shoot at one of their Texas locations, they also supplied customized merch for their bachelor and bachelorette parties, including gift cards and a one-of-a-kind “Mrs. Blizzard” jacket.

But the biggest surprise came on their wedding night. According to Bradley, just as the reception got started, one of the local franchise Dairy Queen owners showed up unannounced—holding a big, huge Blizzard Dairy Queen cooler that was personalized for the couple, as well as Dairy Queen Blizzards for the entire wedding party.

🍦🍦🍦Bottom line: The Blizzards (the couple, not the ice creams) are enjoying newly wedded bliss. As for all of the Dairy Queen treats leading up to the big day? The bride shared, “It was just more than I could have even imagined."
