One we almost missed in 2018

A couple's beach wedding was ruined by storm — and then a stranger saved the day

Dulce and Ariel Gonzalez were set in late June to get married on a beautiful beach in Pascagoula, Mississippi. The bride looked stunning, the whole family was there and the arrangement was beautiful.

Everything was perfect. Until it wasn't.

Cynthia Strunk and her husband, Shannon, live in a beachfront house near where the ceremony was scheduled to take place. The couple had watched the wedding preparations from their home all morning, just to see torrential downpour surprise the bride and groom.

Strunk, moved by what she saw, ventured out to Gonzalez's parked car with her "trusty umbrella," dodging a nearby lightning strike, according to both Strunk and Gonzalez, and offered the strangers her home as an emergency venue.

It's just the deplorable ones are so loud and obnoxious, they drown the good ones out. So great to see them showcased.
