HURRICANE HELENE TORE THROUGH WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA. STORIES OF HOPE CONTINUE TO EMERGE OUT OF THAT DEVASTATION. IM BRINGING YOU THE STORY OF HOW A PLANNED WEDDING TURNED INTO AN IMPROMPTU CEREMONY. WE WERE LOOKING FOR, YOU KNOW, SOMEWHERE TO GET. MARRIED IN THE MOUNTAINS. JANSEN AND TRAVIS PUTNAM SET THE DATE AT THE BILTMORE ESTATE IN ASHEVILLE. TRAVISS FAMILY IS FROM NEW YORK. MY FAMILY IS FROM FLORIDA, SO IT WAS KIND OF LIKE A GOOD PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO TRAVEL TO. THE CHARLESTON BASED DUO ARRIVED TO THE INN ON BILTMORE ESTATE WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25TH, WITH SEVERAL DAYS OF PLANNED EVENTS BEFORE THEIR SPECIAL DAY THAT SATURDAY. YEAH, ALL OF A SUDDEN, HELENE CAME IN AND CHANGED HER PLANS. A YEARS WORTH OF PLANNING ALTERED IN A MATTER OF HOURS. I WOKE UP THE NEXT DAY AND REALIZED HOW BAD LIKE THINGS HAD ACTUALLY GOTTEN. IN THE MIDST OF DOWNED TREES AND FLOODING, THE TWO HAD NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO CANCEL THE LONG AWAITED I DOS. IF YOURE NOT HERE, TURN AROUND AND GO HOME. AND IF YOU ARE HERE, TRY TO FIND A WAY OUT IF YOU CAN. I SAW JANSEN COMING DOWN THE HALLWAY. I COULD TELL IT WAS HER AND SHE WAS CRYING AND I WAS LIKE, DO YOU NEED A HUG? THOSE TEARS SPARKED AN IDEA FOR KATIE KASSMAN, A CONCIERGE AT THE INN. THERE IS SOMETHING MAGICAL HAPPENING. CELL SERVICE WAS LIMITED, BUT KATIE FOUND A SPOT IN AN OPEN FIELD AND STAYED CONNECTED LONG ENOUGH TO GET ORDAINED. HEY, JUST IN CASE YOU GUYS ACTUALLY WANT TO GET MARRIED TOMORROW, I JUST GOT ORDAINED AND THEY ALL LAUGHED. THE WEDDING WAS BACK ON THANKS TO THE STAFF AND STRANGERS. THE COURTYARD OUT THERE. THEY REARRANGED THE FURNITURE. THEY MOVED SOME FLOWERS. THEY GOT LITTLE FLOWER PETALS TO MAKE AN AISLE. WE ARE GATHERED HERE TODAY IN THE SIGHT OF THE OLDEST MOUNTAINS IN THE WORLD. AND THE ARMS OF LOVED ONE, AND WITNESSED BY THE COMPANY OF STRANGERS WHO ARE NOW FRIENDS. YEAH, SHE DID A FANTASTIC JOB, AND SHES REALLY PART OF OUR FAMILY NOW. A DAY THE NEWLYWEDS WILL HAVE AND HOLD ON TO FOR LIFE. IT WAS A BUBBLE THAT WE WERE IN AND EVERYONE WAS SCARED AND DIDNT KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING BECAUSE WE COULDNT GET INFORMATION FROM THE OUTSIDE WORLD. SO ITS LIKE THIS BRIGHT SPOT IN THIS HORRIBLE TIME. AND ESSENTIALLY I THINK THATS WHY WERE ALL HERE TO LEND A HELPING HAND AND HELP EACH OTHER OUT. WHEN WE CAN. AND THAT WAS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THAT. AND THE WOMAN WHO ENDED UP GETTING ORDAINED, YOU COULD JUST SEE THE JOY IN HER FACE, THE JOY IN HER SMILE THAT SHE WAS ABLE TO HELP AND HELP MAKE THAT MA
