Gnu, the BEST story I heard of was how a couple from London were headed for Las Vegas with their entire wedding party. Roughly a dozen people inconvenienced. They were all put up in the homes of two neighbours. Needless to say the wedding dress and everything were still in the aircraft.The families hosing these people set up a complete wedding in the short time they had. It included the minister, wedding dress, tuxedos, and cake, plus church and all other ancillary necessary components of a wedding.
I have to say it brought a lump to my throat!
