Savannah, Georgia
Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know just what you're going to get.
Snow Covered Wedding
Savannah is a city rich in history, design and cinematic influence. I visited Savannah for the first time to see my old friends, Marshall and Jaimie, get married downtown, right across from were the iconic bench scene was shot for the movie Forest Gump. This was a unique trip, as the city saw its first snow storm since the early 1990’s. Savannah was not prepared for the harsh weather, but we definitely were.
The Kosiec family and I arrived late Friday night to snow covered roads that were accented by white speckled Spanish moss that hung from 100 year old trees. We were eager to get out on the town, but decided to wait till the next morning to explore when we could appreciate the storm that passed through. Most of the city was shut down as the roads were too icy for normal business to resume. It gave us a unique perspective of a quiet city that was not typical for this busy tourist destination. The numerous fountains scattered throughout downtown were all frozen over. We threw snowballs and build snowmen by the riverwalk where the lively pubs gave everyone something to do. Despite the tuxedo shop closing and threatening to delay the ceremony, the wedding went on and the good times continued.
