Hurricane Hanna




Michelle and Craig had arranged for an NYPD launch to take us out in the New York harbor for their ceremony...in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty. It would have been unique and moving, but Hurricane Hanna had her way that day...so we ended up inside for the ceremony. So all couples planning outdoor wedding ceremonies - know that you may desparately need to have a "Plan B."

At Plug Uglies, a self-advertized "drinking establishment," their family and friends from around the country witnessed Michelle and Craig speak their vows, and Michelle's daughter, Kaitlynn, serenaded the newly married couple.

The punctuation of the reception was provided by the NYPD Emerald Society pipe and drum band. It seemed like there were more than a dozen pipers and drummers in a small space...filling the air (and pounding on my ear drums) with their traditional music...making sure that Hurricane Hanna was drummed out of town. This was Michelle and Craig's day...not hers!
