From the very beginning, Bill & Meg wanted their wedding to have Lord Huron & the Lumineers vibes - but I certainly don't think that meant they expected Hurricane Ophelia. When Hurricane Ophelia came in strong the weekend of their wedding, their gorgeous & off the beaten path venue was hit hard, complete with tree branches on roads & paths, industrial strength secures for the tent snapping, an increasingly unstable tent, & wind gusts only projected to get stronger & stronger when it came time for guests arrive - it became apparent that Megan & Bill's wedding could not go on as planned.
Long story short, this wedding had to move to the following day. Bill/Megan went to a nearby brewery to celebrate their almost wedding day with their wedding guests & party while their vendors worked hard to seamlessly adjust all plans to accommodate the different day & time. What could have been a heartbreaking day, turned into something so beautiful in more ways than one & a once in a lifetime weekend. Their wedding party didn't hesitate to do whatever it took to stand by their friends, complete with adjusting work schedules, changing flights & much more I am sure than these friends ever shared. Their guests rallied & pivoted plans & showed up for one hell of a party the next day. But most notable by far, this couple took this reality & turned it into an amazing celebration of their love & their story by focusing on what was most important. A little hurricane can't kill the party, my friends.
