When their wedding venue fell through at the last minute, Krista and Jeremy Bourasa decided to hold the ceremony at the groom's fire station in St. Paul Park, Minnesota, knowing it was possible an alarm could disrupt things.

They made it through their ceremony without a hitch, but while taking photos before the reception, an urgent call came in for mutual aid to knock out a fire engulfing a house in a nearby town. Krista told her new husband to go ahead and fight the fire. "I've got the rest of my life with him," she told Minneapolis TV station KARE-11. "They needed him for that moment."

Three hours later, Jeremy returned to the reception, and the bride and groom had their first dance. "That just kind of put the icing on the cake that I know she's the one for the rest of my life," he said.

Possible Preaching Angle: This wedding couple serves as a great reminder of the purpose of every local church. We are busy with church services, celebrations, and Bible studies, but we should be willing to be interrupted to carry out our mission to serve the world.
