Ha, ha! I'd say another challenge was trying not to freeze to death in that sleeveless wedding gown! Congrats, Carolyn! :) gw

Almost a foot of snow had fallen during the reception. Mom was afraid no one would show up, but they did and Dad paid the band to play longer than scheduled. Then everyone drove home in the blizzard.

Actually, I took the wheel after hubby crashed into a median. He had to pull over so I could get in the driver's seat. Thanks for reading.

Is this a true event? Reminds me of November rain, how a wedding can be ruined... Congratulations on your placement in the contest..

Yes, I had to take the wheel after hubby hit a median in the middle of the road. He had been drinking at the wedding, but I hadn't. Thanks for the fun contest!
