Hurricane Ian almost derailed plans for one couple to wed in South Carolina on Saturday.
Mary Lord of Ft. Worth, Texas, mother of groom Eric Lord raises her hands hearing the news that some of the bridesmaids dresses, tuxedoes are being brought as A.J. McCullough of Sunset Beach, NC, mother of bride Monroe McCullough stands by on Saturday, Oct. 1, 2022 in Pawleys Island, S.C. The perfect wedding day almost didn't come together for two families who traveled to the island for nuptial festivities that almost got derailed by Hurricane Ian's landfall and aftermath.
AJ McCullough's family came from Sunset Beach, North Carolina, to see her daughter, Monroe, walk down the aisle as the bride. In the mad rush to get off the island to the Friday night rehearsal dinner — which went off without a hitch, relatively speaking, the nearby country club venue not even losing power during the storm — the participants left behind the attire and decor they'd need for Saturday's wedding. Feeling more secure hunkering down further inland, Lord said the families settled into other rental properties, figuring they would deal with Saturday's details after the storm passed.
As crews assessed safety on the island, Lord and McCullough were told to wait, with barricades shutting down access to the strip of homes.
