"You ladies know that I had some wedding location drama of my own, but I think the June brides who chose Barr Mansion in Austin, TX, as their venue have me beat. Last Wednesday, this ballroom was struck by lightning&amp;amp;#8212;and then it burned to the ground! And guess how many weddings were booked for that coming weekend? Three! Picture this: You&amp;amp;#8217;re putting the finishing touches on your wedding programs, confirming all the details with your vendors, and running your fingers over the wedding gown you can&amp;amp;#8217;t wait to wear in just three days when you get this phone call: &amp;amp;#8220;Your reception space caught on fire last night and no longer exists.&amp;amp;#8221; How would you even respond to that?! The good folks at Barr Mansion (full disclosure: The owners&amp;amp;#8217; daughter is a friend of a friend) amazingly got things figured out in time to hold the weddings scheduled this past weekend&amp;amp;#8212;the mansion, itself, and the grounds were unscathed, so I think they just threw up a tent on the lawn. And it sounds like work&amp;amp;#8217;s already begun on building a new ballroom. But man, my heart goes out to this past weekend&amp;amp;#8217;s brides whose wedding plans got turned upside-down with just hours to go! How would you react if you heard your reception venue was destroyed? Would you hold your wedding as planned, no matter where the new reception location was? Or would you postpone your big day to find a replacement dream location? See More Freak-Outs I Want a Wedding Do-Over Uh-Oh, My Guest List Is Out of Control!
