We have some experience with weddings being thrown off course because of a hurricane. It’s always amazing to see our couples rally and figure out a way to still have their wedding, just maybe not how they originally envisioned. And isn’t that such a testament to marriage? Things aren’t always going to go exactly how you planned. In fact, most of the time they won’t. But as a married couple, you have to decide if you will let it break you or if it will make you stronger. If you can roll with the punches and realize that your love for each other, the commitment you’re making together, is more important than the party you imagined, you’re already on the winning side of marriage.

Susan + Matt, we know you had this amazing wedding planned in the Outer Banks. But we hope the wedding you did have, that you managed to pull together at the last minute, was everything you could have hoped for in the end. Thank you for letting us be a part of it, and for giving us our first rooftop wedding (check that one off the bucket list!). Congratulations!
