A Cold Reception
By Scott L Vannatter
November 8, 2012
The bride stepped to the window and tried to peer through the frost and ice. All she could think of was how it would all be ruined now; the slight prediction of snow had become a reality. Her heart nearly stopped; tears began. Suddenly, two hands were placed on her shoulders.
“Cold Hands, warm heart,” was all he said.
She turned and looked at her father, her tears not even to her cheeks.
“It will be okay, you think?”
“I know it will. You two are much more in love than a mere 1/2 inch of snow.”
Hugs said the rest.

What a sweet, caring, gentle daddy. He wiped away her tears and made her wedding day even brighter…so pooh to that little snow.

Hi Scott,
Good idea, to tie the snow to a planned wedding. I liked the relationship you developed between the bride and her father. Well done. Ron

That was easy; it is the way my daughter and I are in real life.

Hello Scott, how funny, I wrote the complete opposite kind of story but also based on a wedding: http://beccaaudra.wordpress.com/2012/11/09/friday-fictioneers-iced-cake/
I like cold hands, warm heart. I love how warm the message of it is and how it brings out people’s wedding day stories. I love wedding day stories where it goes wrong but its all okay.

Yes, yours sounds like something I would write, just not now, as this one was for my daughter’s real marriage (Friday).

Very sweet, and I think bad weather brings out the real purpose of a wedding much more. Well captured.

Dear Scott,
What a sweet story. Looking forward to your pics.
My husband and I were married 41 years ago on a very cold, rainy November day. It didn’t dampen our spirits.
Shalom,
Rochelle

Dear Scott,
My son (named Scott, also) and his bride Tamara were dismayed when a triopical downpour flooded the grounds of the resort where they were getting married. Everyone was walking around in three inches of water and soaking wet and never was there a more meorable wedding.
Your story captured all of that and more very well.
Aloha,
Doug

so cool (no pun intended!) my wedding day it poured rain, there was an accident in the town we got married in which caused all the power to go out just before the ceremony was to begin. We waited 45 mins. in the cold dark then decided to on with the wedding by candle light…just as we decided to do that, the power went on…even if it the ceromony had taken place in the dark, it still would have been the best day of my life!
