What happened last Saturday....Everyone's been asking me what happened with Megan & Ryan-- the ones who's wedding venues canceled on them due to no electricity from the big windstorm. The reception canceled on Wednesday and the church canceled Thursday! So there went a year and a half of careful planning!!!

Well, everyone pulled through for them. Megan's parents offered to have the wedding in their backyard. The neighbors got together and removed fallen trees from the windstorm and mowed their lawn. The bridesmaids pitched in to call all 325 guests. Plus the pastor, the limo company, florist, cake baker, the band and everyone else had to be notified!

On the day of the ceremony, the power was to be cut off at the house so the utility workers could make some repairs down the street. The neighbors got together and pleaded with them to please turn the power back on and wait till after the wedding-- which they did!

Friends/neighbors also volunteered to park cars for the guests. And it looked to me like all 325 showed! How great is that? And I loved during the ceremony when the pastor mentioned the mailman's creed (neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, etc.). That is so true-- nothing was going to stop these two from getting married!

So that's them at the top of this post. Such a beautiful setting and so amazing that this was pulled together in just two days!

What a wonderful story Megan and Ryan will be able to tell on each anniversary! Check back later this week for more pics!
