Katrina Evacuees Get Married

More articles on the Weddings topic: Weddings

The couple fled New Orleans with family and friends the day before Katrina hit the Gulf Coast. They evacuated with fellow church members on the church bus to a shelter in Baton Rouge - some 75 miles away. That wasn't the last stop - they had to relocate to the Lamar-Dixon Expo Center a few days later - another 22 mile trip with nothing but question marks abound regarding their future.

What about the wedding? When was it going to happen? Where was it going to happen? These questions might seem trivial to other evacuees, but to a bride, they are the most important questions in the world.

Luckily, the storm has moved on just in time for the weekend, leaving behind nicer than expected weather and very little damage that couldn't be immediately repaired.

"It all worked out fine" said the general manager of the Royal Pavillion resort. "The almost newlyweds needn't worry".

The moment you get engaged will be one you remember for the rest of your life. There are many ways to go about it - romantic, funny, non-chalant, or just plain over-the-top.

I'm not going to make judgement about one way being better than another - there is a lot of room for argument, and truly the personalities of the bride and the groom are what factors in most.

Just remember guys - if you pick wrong, she might just say no. If you want to be safe, choose romantic.

Doing little things to help alleviate these expenses can take the stress away from your friends and family and it can be done with very little effort.
