>> through good times and bad has special meaning for one oklahoma couple who plan to get married in a few hours. i believe two and a half hours if i'm not mistaken, his fiancee and he were celebrating their rehearsal dinner last night at a restaurant in norman, oklahoma , when a twister ripped through the town. the wedding party had to take shelter in a walk-in freezer at that restaurant . but nate and katie will not be deterred, they're planning on tieing the knot tonight. nate is so so kind and gracious he joins me now via telephone. first of all, how are you holding up, are you ready for the big night ?
>> yes, sir.
>> you sound pretty excited?
>> i am.
>> walk me through what happened last night, when you realized a tornado was about to roll through town.
>> well, we kind of figured everything was coming, there was already tornados up north in oklahoma city near the airport. we were heading back -- heading to the west side of norman to enter irvin, there was traffic everwhy, we got into the restaurant . and it wasn't -- we weren't there for probably an hour, 30 minutes , and i mean, you could just see the k4r0uds starting to circle and it was getting really nasty, and the whole time, once i got there, i got ahold of my fiancee who was still at her parents house, and she actually didn't make it to the restaurant until well after everything had died down. so we were -- it was pretty much just me and all my family and myrrh grooms men at the restaurant . and my fiancee was at her parents house in town in their cellar, while we were at the restaurant and the freezer.
>> as you were in the freezer, what was going through your mind?
>> well, at the point there were so many women and children , we guys got out, and tried to get many of the kids in, the kids and women, and that was mine and my dad's biggest concern, making sure the women and children were in, and kind of just said a prayer. hoped everything would be okay, and god willing it would all work out.
>> we heard from the reporter on the ground there are tens of thousands without power in and around oklahoma city . does your wetting venue have power?
>> it does not as of yet.
>> our venue does, but our reception does not yet.
>> what are we going to do for reception?
>> we're going to -- we have a generator that we got over there, so if -- for the d.j. more or less, we'll probably light it up bien cad el light if we don't get electricity by the time is it starts.
>> i love it. i love it. old school, really old school.
>> very old school.
>> did you guys consider postponing? was that a conversation?
>> no, it really wasn't. primarily for the fact that we just kind of went with the storm, after everything, all of her family ended up coming over to the restaurant . and we ended up cutting our turkey cake and celebrated a little bit, didn't do the gifts or any of the speeches, so my best man and them are going to have to do their speeches tonight in front of a little bigger crowd.
>> who was more shaken up by the experience, you or katie marie?
>> i would say katie was. she was very shaken up, she does not like storms. i generally just -- i was trying to calm her down. my dad got on the phone with her, and told her to get in her cellar and to be cautious.
>> nate getting married. is it 6:30, nate .
>> yes, it is 6:30.
>> getting married at 6:30 to katie marie. good luck to you guys. you will certainly have a memorable wedding and reception.
>> yes. thank you very much. and we just want to send out all our thoughts and prayers out to all of the moore families, all the families in oklahoma and missouri, that got hit by the tornado and our thoughts and prayers will be with them. and we want to thank all of our callers and friends from out of state that aren't used to this for coming out and sticking to it with us.
>> congratulations, sir, take care.
