Wedding photographer Josh Newton got this awesome shot of newlyweds Michael and April Wolber as a forest fire threatened to crash their Oregon wedding recently. |
A couple got married last week in a beautiful patch of forest near Bend, Oregon.
Of course, the wedding had to be rushed because partway through the ceremony, firefighters crashed the event.
They told the couple, Michael and April Wolber, and their guests that a large forest fire was heading in their direction. The firefighters allowed the couple to get through the ceremony really fast, then evacuate.
Hmm. Weather is always a risk when you hold an outdoor wedding. But a forest fire? That's certainly unusual. But maybe not so in much of the tinder dry western United States.
(The reception was to be held in a spot away from the fire anyway.)
Before the party fled, the couple's wedding photographer, Josh Newton got some unexpectedly awesome shots for the Wolbers. One of them, the best in my opinion is in this post.
Everybody's wedding is memorable, but this one surely is especially so.
We've been to wedding that were crashed by both Sandy and Irene (no we weren't the ones stuck in Killington!) Our wedding is soon and I am hoping for no fires, severe storms, etc.
