One of the features of the 2008 Farmers’ Almanac was a contest to determine the couple who’s nuptials took place during the worst weather Mother Nature could toss their way. Our entries numbered 500 and we narrowed it down to the 10 most (exciting) unusual wedding weather stories. American has now spoken. Voting ended at midnight last night and we are verifying the results. Later this month we will announce the winning couples.

Thanks to everyone involved with this contest. From every bride and groom who submitted stories to the thousands who voted, it as been great fun. Royal Caribbean Cruise and LL Bean have provided prizes. We are grateful for their involvement. From the Today Show announcement to the local media that covered the home time “heroes”, the message spread from Coast to Coast. Now, stay tuned for the big announcement at the end of March.
