Hanna might be the most indecisive hurricane/tropical storm EVER

Well, they say no news is good news, but we're not so sure that's the case. Bottom line is, even the guys with the PhDs aren't quite sure what Hanna is going to do. They expect to have a better idea of where she'll hit tomorrow. Hopefully we'll have a better idea at that time too. Here is our thinking as of right now.

Scenario One: The governor orders a mandatory evacuation. We are in Georgetown County, SC. If this happens for our county, then, quite frankly, we're in big trouble. If there is an evacuation, there will be no wedding. What Plan B is here, we aren't quite sure yet.

Scenario Two: We don't evacuate, but either the church or the reception venue lose power. If this happens and power is restored by noon Saturday, then it's business as usual. If it's not restored until late Saturday or early Sunday, we will likely try and push the wedding to Sunday afternoon.

Scenario Three: Hanna hits but life goes on. We all bring lots of umbrellas and I (Sara) carry my dress hiked up to my knees in a rather unflattering way, but we still get married and get to celebrate with all you fine folks. This is obviously the option we are hoping for, but it's all in the hands of the Governor now.

Travel will surely be sketchy as well. Please make sure to be safe if you travel. If you need to leave Saturday, please do so. Putt putt is not looking so good anyway...

Here's to a great story to tell in future years!

With that, we'll leave you with a picture of beautiful Pawleys Island taken today. Hard to believe such pretty blue skies and nice water could turn vicious by Friday...
