Heading to the basement shelter of a hotel during a tornado isn’t exactly a mood-setter for a romantic dance, but that’s exactly the bizarre situation that 25-year-old newlyweds Alex and Sarah Schilke found themselves in back in June.
Hosting their wedding at the Grand Geneva Resort and Spa Hotel in Wisconsin, the reception was already underway when a tornado warning was issued for the area.
The wedding party and the rest of the hotel’s guests took shelter in the venue’s basement.
A group of strangers heard that the newlyweds hadn’t had their first dance and offered to sing and play the guitar.
A really cool phone video shows Alex and Sarah swaying to their first dance with strangers staying at the hotel shining their phone flashlights upon them to drive away the darkness.
An hour and a half later, all guests were permitted to leave the tornado shelter.
