Dairy Queen surprises Texas couple with last name Blizzard
(NewsNation) — A Texas couple got a very sweet and very fitting treat on their wedding day, all thanks to Dairy Queen.
Meet the new Mr. and Mrs. Blizzard — yes, that's really their last name. Newlyweds Bradley Blizzard and Olivia Morris are longtime Dairy Queen fans.
'My mom always used to take us to Dairy Queen to try to get my seven siblings and I free ice cream, and it finally happened here,' Blizzard told 'Morning in America' on Friday.

Morris shared their story on TikTok and made a special request to the ice cream chain for a Blizzard bar at their wedding.
She thought it was 'a long shot,' but the Texas Dairy Queen Operators' Council responded and delivered in a big way, showing up with more than just treats.
The couple received custom merchandise for their bachelor and bachelorette parties, an engagement shoot at a Dairy Queen restaurant in Frisco, Texas, and blizzards for all at their wedding reception.
'This was completely their idea; I did not pitch this. It was their brilliant marketing,' Morris said.

Though Morris is based in Texas, she's originally from Tuscola, Illinois, and graduated from Southern Illinois University in Edwardsville.
The couple met on July 3, 2021, and bonded over their mutual love for the restaurant, Dairy Queen spokespeople told NewsNation affiliate WGN-TV. They tied the knot in Collinsville, Texas, on May 3, People Magazine reported.
Morris said her favorite Dairy Queen treat is the Oreo-flavored Blizzard, while her husband's favorite is the Reese's Peanut Butter Blizzard.
