Saving a Marriage from Katrina's Wrath

New Orleans resident Trenise Williams made sure to save one thing when she fled Hurricane Katrina: her marriage license. It may not have been the wedding she'd dreamed of, but Williams did marry her fiancé, Joseph Kirsh, in a shelter in Jackson, Miss. Local businesses chipped in for everything, including food and a wedding dress.
