And They're Off

While we're on the topic of weather-related changes to your outdoor wedding plans, here's a heartwarming story from the Louisville Courier-Journal about a New Orleans couple who had to relocate their October 18 wedding due to Hurricane Katrina. The two were determined to still marry on the anniversary of their first date. They were staying with family in Louisville, Kentucky, and were able to hold their outdoor wedding in the rose garden at Churchill Downs--not too shabby! The key quote in the article comes from a bridesmaid, who said of the bride, "She still got the wedding of her dreams." It's a good reminder to all those planning outdoor weddings that even if a last-minute change of plans is required, you'll still be off and running and starting a new life with the one you love.
