This beautiful couple was scheduled and prepared to celebrate their love with family and friends on September 4, 2021. However, Hurricane Ida came along 5 days before their scheduled wedding date causing great damage and weeks of no power in the entire city of New Orleans. Although they had to reschedule their wedding date and notify family and friends at such late notice, the couple did not let mother nature stop their joy. While evacuated, Martin and Shelby shared vows and expressed their love to each other on the beach as the water hit their feet. It was so romantic. Martin has expressed that he will not let his beautiful soulmate go without a wedding. He will not take that special moment away from her, parents, grandparents, and other close family members, so the couple will have an official wedding and reception on an alternative date (Saturday March 12, 2022), which is the week after both of their birthdays. Shelby and Martin hope everyone on the original RSVP list can make it to celebrate their love.
