What would you do if there was a mandatory evacuation of your wedding venue the day before your wedding and a ton of your extended family had already flown in from out of the country to be with you?
Horrifying question, isn’t it?
Maureen and Rob were scheduled to be married on Saturday afternoon in Zone A of Hurricane Irene’s impending NYC arrival, and after we heard about the mandatory evacuation we nervously waited to hear from them. The call came at 3pm on Friday, and Maureen asked if we could be there in two hours because the priest said he’d marry them at the rehearsal. Game on. What we witnessed from then on was pure magic and love: family members stepped in to do hair and makeup, organize the reception and make the night work. The Hank Lane Band quickly put together a band for the evening and Scaletta hosted the evening at a moments notice… Maureen was the loveliest bride and we were so impressed with her calm and sweetness and the fact that the only tears we saw all night were tears of joy and appreciation…
