    Sarah & Mike's Outdoor Wedding Crisis

    "We planned a beautiful outdoor ceremony in the gardens. Three hours before our 4 PM ceremony, the forecast changed to severe thunderstorms starting at 3:30 PM. We had 180 guests already traveling to the venue."

    "Thanks to txt.wedding, we sent one message: 'Ceremony moved indoors to Grand Ballroom due to weather. Still starting at 4 PM. Same parking instructions apply.' Within minutes, we had confirmation that our message reached everyone."

    "Not a single guest showed up at the wrong location. Our wedding planner said it was the smoothest weather emergency she'd ever seen."
