My wedding venue flooded and everything was still wonderful...  A reminder that not everything is in your control and that's okay!

I got married a little over a year ago. The venue ended up taking on a lot of water and eventually we had to move the whole wedding to another building... 10 minutes before I was supposed to be walking down the aisle.

Everything ended up working just fine and I hope this can be a reminder that you can't control everything (on the big day or in life) - and that's okay,

The rain beginning to come down. This was fairly early in the day and I realized we needed to go to plan B and move everything inside. We had made a back up plan just in case, so no biggie.

A couple hours later - My two brothers inspecting the aisle I was supposed to walk down which had now turned into a nice flowing river.

As the rain continued, the flooding rose and started to come in the front doors. Here are my brother and a groomsman doing their best to push the water out as much as possible.

The manager of the venue even got in on trying to keep the water out. Bless their hearts, they all tried so hard for my sake to make it work.

After every attempt was made to keep the water out, we were told it was getting unsafe from an electrical standpoint. Luckily, the venue we were at had a separate empty building we could use - but we would have to move everything over there. My dad made the announcement that we were moving 10 minutes before I was originally supposed to walk down the aisle.

Without hesitation, all of our family and friends kicked off their shoes, rolled up their pants (if they hadn't already done so), and grabbed any and all decorations they could and carried them to the other building.

My brother and niece staying in high spirits during the move. :)

I was the last one to be moved since I was already in my dress. The water was a bit colder than I expected... haha

In the end, we only ended up getting married an hour after originally planned. With the help of our family and friends, the decorations were put back together almost identically in the new building.

It may not have been what we would have planned, but we still ended up just as married by the end. At the end of the day, the only thing that mattered that day was the man waiting for me at the end of the aisle.

Bonus: Our getaway car also died as we were getting into it. By that point in the night, it just seemed really fitting haha. Don't sweat the small stuff, y'all.
