RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) \u2014 As Canes fans made their way to Hillsborough Street, they couldn\u2019t contain their excitement. <\/p>

\u201cIncredible, this is the best thing to happen to this city in decades,\u201d said a Canes fan. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s huge; it proves we are a hockey town; it proves that hockey can live in the South,\u201d said Nathan White. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Moments before the parade made its way down Hillsborough Street, a happy bride and groom, Gerard Rothfus and Sarahi Villa Arreguin, made their way inside Sacred Heart Catholic Church to cheers and applause.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Then, after the parade, CBS 17\u2019s Greg Funderburg caught up with them as newlyweds. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe feel amazing now that we\u2019re married. Best day of my life,\u201d said the newlyweds. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

They both admit they couldn\u2019t believe their big day, planned six months ago, landed on the Canes\u2019 Stanley Cup Celebration. \u201cI thought it was a joke. I didn\u2019t realize they would pull it off this quickly. You mean this weekend? It was crazy,\u201d said the newlyweds. \u00a0<\/p>

Crazy or not, with some careful planning, the wedding party made it through traffic and Canes fans to witness the ceremony. \u201cThe police department was super helpful, worked with the church, and were able to get people in early,\u201d said the groom. \u00a0<\/p>\n

And beyond the wedding, we found one woman who recently held the Stanley Cup.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of my best friends is married to the athletic trainer, so we waited and got to hold it. It was amazing,\u201d said a Canes fan \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe big silver shiner thing, lovely. I have never seen it before, so to see it here in Raleigh 20 years too long,\u201d said a Canes fan. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s nothing better. 20 years we\u2019ve been waiting and wishing we got a Stanley Cup, baby,\u201d said a Canes fan. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

As for the couple, their reception was in Carrboro, and they even got a special message from one of the Canes players about this new chapter in their lives.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>
