Cupid's Chapel of Love

On October 25, 2010 my bride and I were married in this famous & quaint Chapel located in Gatlinburg, TN.

 

This white, log-built structure with a green tin roof and waterfall around back had actually hosted more than 20,000 weddings since 1994.

 

Six years later, we traveled back to there for the colorful Autumn display that the area is famously known for.

While there that week, wildfires were reported burning around the Gatlinburg area, and on a few occasions, we could actually smell the smoke.

We decided to drive by to take this photo for keepsake, as we didn’t really photograph our wedding place back in 2010.

 

22 days after this photo was taken, much of Gatlinburg and Sevier County burned the night of Nov. 28th, 2016

Sadly, this famous little Chapel was completely destroyed.

There was talk of rebuilding......but still not sure if it has happened.

 

One never knows when tragedy may strike........

In crazy times like these......it's so important to stay focused on what's most important in our lives ...... God and Family.

 

Have a very Blessed Sunday everyone and here's wishing you all good health and much safety.
