Originally planned to be a grand and elegant affaire at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, Erika and Chips wedding turned into a small and intimate surprise event at a Manhattan restaurant thanks to Mother Nature and Hurricane Irene! With the city's transportation system shut down and most businesses following suit, a last minute scramble to re-plan their wedding with the resources available turned out beautifully. They kept in mind their main priority, marrying each other, and ended up having an incredible day filled with all the love in the world!
