Flooded Brides

Many couples' weddings were flooded out the last two weeks. Some events were cancelled and some continued on only in different venues.

My heart goes out to the many couples who long-planned wedding plans were cancelled or changed. It makes the stress level higher for everyone and that is no way to go into a wedding celebration.

However, many bridal couples showed their true character by persevering on in spite of the changes and upsets. They went to "plan B" and had a lovely celebration even in the face of disaster. Makes one think that their marriage will survive as well.

I heard of one couple being married by the levee holding back flood waters. "If they couldn't fight it, they might as well join it!"
There was another couple that decided that they would be married in a boat. Their family looked on from dry land as they and their officiant paddled out to the middle of "where their ceremony venue should have been."

To the couples who married in spite of the weather, kudos to you! It just goes to show that a true marriage is about one man and one woman and the love that they have for one another.
