Hurricane Hermine nearly cancels Roswell couple's wedding

ROSWELL, Ga. — A Roswell couple scheduled to get married late Saturday afternoon in Destin weren’t sure the wedding would happen.

Channel 2’s Carol Sbarge talked to the bride-to-be via Skype Thursday afternoon.

Melissa De Feis says at one point, there was a mandatory evacuation in Destin almost leading to the cancelation of the wedding ceremony.%

De Feis says people worry about it raining on their wedding day, but aren’t thinking about a tropical storm or hurricane happening.

De Feis talked to Sbarge as de Feis’s fiancé was driving them to Destin this afternoon. They were two hours from the Florida city. But that was after a very unnerving morning.

De Feis says they left Roswell at 6:30 a.m. They had been on the road a few hours when they got a call that Walton County, where Destin is located, was under a mandatory evacuation.

The couple turned around, and they were almost back home to Roswell when they got another call that Destin was in the clear and the evacuation was lifted.

De Feis says it was very stressful.

This was actually almost the second time their wedding got postponed.

They were scheduled to get married last year, but De Feis became pregnant.

They decided to postpone the wedding to this weekend.

Now baby, mom and dad are in Destin for their big day along with 75 guests.

De Feis says people are telling her if it rains on your wedding days it’s good luck, and if it is a monsoon, that must be really good luck.
