It\u2019s supposed to be the strongest Caribbean hurricane on record.<br \/>\nScores of flights have been cancelled. Major sporting events have been postponed, and of course, many Florida weddings planned for this weekend are not happening.<br \/>\nBut one is.<br \/>\nJessie Weir and Christopher Chouinard tied the knot in Vero Beach on Friday, September 8th with Irma bearing down on the state.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>They did so despite most of their guests having cancelled.<\/li>\n<li>They did so despite their reception area closing due to the storm.<\/li>\n<li>They did so despite most of their vendors cancelling to evacuate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Did the couple think about postponing their wedding? LOL, hell no. \u201cThis was going to happen, there was no question about that,\u201d said Weir.<br \/>\nThey must\u2019ve been frustrated by all the wimps around them. Or the ones that used to be around them<br \/>\nbefore they hightailed it out of Florida.<br \/>\nOne wedding pro, however, was NOT a wimp.<\/p>\n<p>Kati Rosado, their photographer, showed up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just didn\u2019t have the heart to say \u2018Sorry, I can\u2019t make it.\u2019 A wedding is such a special day and it\u2019s the only chance to capture those moments.\u201d<br \/>\nThe piece quotes another couple who tried their damnedest to hold their wedding in Cocoa Beach as planned, but was unable to succeed the way Weir and Chouinard did.<br \/>\nIt sucks, according to almost-groom Daniel Dillman, because \u201cwe were focused on going down to Florida and beating the hurricane anyway. It would\u2019ve been a fantastic story to be able to pass down to friends and family in Ohio.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a really good reason to risk life and limb: because it\u2019d make a great story.<br \/>\nSo what should you do when you\u2019re dealing with couples like these? Immovable nuptial objects in the face of an irresistible hurricane force? Consider these three steps.<br \/>\nWeatherproof!<br \/>\nAll your gear, from your turntables to your floral arrangements to your cakes, should be quickly transferrable to waterproof cover. If you haven\u2019t invested in items that will protect the tools of your trade from the elements, do so ASAP.<br \/>\nImprovise!<br \/>\nOr at least be as flexible as you can. The way Weir and Chouinard were able to pull off their wedding was by moving it up a day.<br \/>\nFortunately, I doubt the photographer had other plans that day, except for not-evacuating, but YOU should have a plan B in place for unforeseen circumstances. Contingencies are a fact of life in the wedding industry.<br \/>\nDon\u2019t!<br \/>\nWeir and Chouinard were dumb for going ahead with their wedding. Rosado was dumb for filming it.<br \/>\nOf course, you shouldn\u2019t let inclement weather stop you or even faze you. But this is an emergency situation, with evacuation orders in place in much of the state. It\u2019s not worth getting injured or killed over.<\/p>\n<p>Rosado said it was \u201cthe only chance to capture those moments,\u201d but in fact, it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n<p>I pored over the Florida law books, and I found no statute stating that if you call off your wedding for hurricanes, you\u2019re not allowed to reschedule it.<br \/>\nIn fact, that\u2019s what Dillman and his bride are doing, as bummed as they are about it.<\/p>\n<p>The customer is only right 99% of the time. If all the conventional wisdom and sources are saying GETTTT OUTTTTTTTT, take the loss, get out, and spare your own life.<br \/>\nHow has this hurricane season impacted your wedding business?
