Baby’s early arrival upends couple’s plans as bride gives birth hours before wedding - fox34.com
A couple's quick trip to Las Vegas for their wedding took an astonishing detour when the bride gave birth just hours before their scheduled ceremony. Kelsey and Dakota Ross flew to Nevada.
Kelsey and Dakota Ross flew to Nevada. They intended to tie the knot at the famous Little White Chapel. Many Lubbock sweethearts might consider a similar destination, perhaps instead of a local venue like the McPherson Cellars Event Center. Plans changed suddenly. Following a stroll down Fremont Street, Kelsey went into labor. They rushed to the hospital, not an aisle. Their daughter, Kelbe, arrived Saturday morning, making her debut well ahead of schedule. The couple still said "I do," exchanging vows right there in the hospital room, with baby Kelbe nearby.
This story reminds everyone planning a major life event, from a graduation at the United Supermarkets Arena to a backyard BBQ in Tech Terrace. Life often has its own agenda. It shows how quickly even the most carefully laid plans can change. People must adapt and find joy in the unexpected. Some moments are too important to postpone, regardless of the setting.
Imagine exchanging rings, then getting a birth certificate and a marriage license all within the same day.
