Pittsburgh braces for G-20 summit headaches


PITTSBURGH (AP) — It was every bride’s worst nightmare — but it happened in a way no one would dream.

Rhianna Shea Reichard turned on the morning news May 29 and learned the G-20 summit was coming to Pittsburgh — of all places; on Sept. 25 — of all days, her wedding day.

Reichard says she was a wreck and just “wanted everything to be better.”

Reichard and McMullen had to plan their wedding all over again and moved it to a new date more than a month earlier than the one originally scheduled.

It is just one of many inconveniences accompanying the G-20 in Pittsburgh on Sept. 24 and 25.

American Eagle had to change its fall conference, the University of Pittsburgh rescheduled five conferences, and several businesses are considering allowing employees work from home.
