No matter what the weather is, or where the location ends up to be, all that matters is that the two of you will be together...

Cobalt and I got married on January 2 and just a week prior the weather guys were predicting this horrendous snow storm!!!! We watched the weather every night, and of course the predicted storm got worse. The storm hit the day before late in the afternoon, we were decorating the church basement the night before for the reception and became concerned that the minister wouldn't be able to make it from Minnesota! Some of our family members weren't going to make it because of the weather. Needless to say I was a nervous wreak...

The minister showed up just as we were finishing up the decorating and we went home to watch the weather some more. We got up the next morning and couldn't see the end of the drive (we live in the country) it was snowing and blowing so hard. I took the girls and myself to the beauty salon to get our hair done (that was a trick - snowplows hadn't been out and didn't intend to go out until the wind died down). In the meantime Cobalt hooked up the plow to the pickup and went into town and plowed out the church parking lot and shoveled the sidewalks. When the girls and I were done getting pretty, we walked out of the door into almost knee deep snow and it was still snowing and blowing. We made it to the church, many of our friends and family that were local made it, and some of my family.

I walked down the isle to Aerosmith's "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing", and we played Savage Garden's "Truly, Madly, Deeply" during the candle lighting....(Cobalt's mom's face was soooooooo funny during the music as she was hoping that we would have picked something more..........befitting a church setting LOL LOL )

Anyway, we had a wonderful ceremony - the white swirling world was outside and we were warm, in love, and deliriously happy. The reception was slightly hurried as it was still snowing and was going to get worse as the afternoon went on, so many of our guests decided to head home. We changed out of our wedding finery and Cobalt's parents took the kids to their place. Then, lol - Cobalt and I got suited up - boots, coveralls, gloves, scarves, you name it we put it on................................and left the church parking lot in his truck with the snow plow on it and started digging people out! (He plowed snow on the side). We found out later once the storm was over that it was the largest snowstorm to hit Iowa in 7 years!!!

We didn't care - we were together! So, even though you feel that some things may be against you, in the end the results will be the same - cherish it always!
