Luckily the storm was gone the morning of the day we got married. It was kind of funny.

It did eff up my grandfather royally though, he lives in Lancaster VA, and he couldn't make it up to the wedding as downed trees were blocking a lot of the rural roads he needed to take.

My sister was married the Saturday right after Isabel ( same day as you?). the reception hall had no power, the entire thing was done with candles and some emergency lighting. It was actually beautiful. the only downer was no A/C but we all coped and ahd a great time.

My sister was seriously stressed that week.

Yep, same exact Saturday.

We were married here in the Philadelphia area though. By the time Isabel got up here it wasn't strong enough to knock out power all over the state. We had a beautiful day and it all came together nicely, except for a few guests from Virginia who couldn't make it.

But yeah, we were pretty worried about it during the week leading up to it.
