Evacuee Couple Marries In San Antonio
This is the third one of these I've seen. Glad to see some good things happening in spite of everything else...
SAN ANTONIO -- Everything borrowed, everything new, the old is just gone, but nobody's blue.That's the rewrite of the old wedding rhyme for newly married Marvin and Janetel Martin.Just a week ago, they were rescued from the roof of a flooded Louisiana hotel after four days with no food or water.In addition to nearly killing the couple, Hurricane Katrina blew away their Sept. 24 bayou wedding plans.
Enter Red Cross volunteer Patricia Fugitt in San Antonio. She spent hours lining up the donated limo, wedding clothes and everything else a wedding needs.Tuesday, the Martins became the first evacuees married in Building 1536 at Kelly USA, a business park in the city."Don't ever give up hope. God will make it all work out," Marvin Martin said.
