Couple's Intimate Wedding Interupted by A Terrifying Rock Slide

Talk about objections! A couple had their intimate wedding interrupted when Mother Nature had other plans. A terrifying rock slide came barreling towards them.

The incident was caught on video. It happened in Ivins, Utah. The couple traveled to the scenic location for a private wedding ceremony. They were secretly getting eloped. That's when they heard the sound of a rock slide from the mountain behind them.

As I'm sure you can imagine, it was all quite terrifying. Speaking with people, eyewitness Shane Schieve said the incident happened that evening. The couple were getting near the end of the ceremony. That's when they all heard a really loud noise from overhead.

Rock Slide at Wedding

Schieve had agreed to loan his 1970 SS 454 Monte Carlo to the couple for the wedding photo shoot. He had been watching the ceremony when he saw the rockslide. At first, when he heard the news, he assumed that it had been a military plane in the area.

"I can understand why people say they've seen UFO's don't get pictures, because it took everything I had to stop looking at it in awe and get my phone out and start [the] video," he said. "It was so loud, it was a thunderous roar."

His immediate thought in the moment was "talk about a wedding crasher!" Like mother, like son, his mother later also joked about the occasion. She said, "I hope it doesn't mean they're off to a rocky start."
However, despite the rock slide, no one saw it as a bad omen. In fact,  it ended up being a moment that made their wedding unique. "We were just at the right place, at the right time," Schieve said. The couple had decided on the location just days earlier.
Fortunately, no one was injured and the rocks didn't even make it down from the mountain.
