So its a couple of hours before the ceremony. My side of the family is standing under this big leafy tree watching the wedding party get photographed. All of a sudden, I hear a crashing in the branches, look up and there's this thick black thing coming straight at me. I thought for sure it was a black snake. I jumped back quicker than a (excuse the expression) poked toad. In fact I moved so fast and far, I nearly ended up in traffic. Turned out to be a big ole tree branch. If I hadn't moved when I did I would have probably been cold cocked. It's just as well I thought it was a snake, I doubt if my body would have jet propelled itself in reverse for a mere tree branch.
Tomorrow: The Wedding

OMG didn't they check the branches before the ceremony?
Old trees crumble. A black rat snake wouldn't have bit you, but I wouldn't want one landing on me either.
They had stopped in a different location for the pictures.
I know in the scheme of things black snakes or our friends. But even if it didn't bite me it could stop my heart from proximity alone.
haha I guess snakes have their benefits
Glad you moved faster than a poked toad.
Thank god you moved when you did otherwise you could have been seriously injured. Love the "poked toad" comment:)
Maybe.......
Grin.
I was a scramblin...in reverse:)
I'm glad you're okay. A snake would've scared me more than a branch, too. ;)
Thanks, Kelly. Yes, indeedy:)
Wow, glad you are ok, I mean, tomorrow...
I would have freaked out, too! Glad you jumped out of the way in time.
