My daughter and I had a spring New York City trip planned a spring or so ago and snow cancelled all flights to NY, so we were bummed. <br />Our wedding story was one that involved a rare ice storm in the south. 5 years ago a few days before the wedding, ICE shut down Atlanta where the groom's parents lived (they spent that night in a Publix grocery store) and Birmingham where bridesmaids lived. Lindsay just grew completely quiet!!! Fortunately the ice melted the day before and the weather was perfect along the Gulf Coast, but for about 48 hours we were trying to stay calm!<br />I hope all goes well for the next trip.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10185422453541735778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-77691306560665379742019-05-05T16:16:48.583-07:002019-05-05T16:16:48.583-07:00I am so sorry to read this.
