BEDFORD — Ashley Dunahoo, 26, and Jason Turcotte, 23, both of Nashua, are getting married at the Bedford Village Inn at 6 p.m. Saturday, come hell or high water – or hurricane.

Having met as maid of honor and best man at a Maryland wedding in 2004 and engaged the past five years, they had high expectations for their wedding ceremony and Walt Disney World honeymoon.

“Three years ago, I found the Bedford Village Inn,” Ashley said. “It was exactly what I was looking for, where it had outside and inside options.”

Plans change, and so have some of theirs. Yes, there will be a wedding ceremony at 6 p.m. Saturday, but a decision will be made two hours prior as to whether the ceremony has to move inside to the Great Hall or can be held outside among the glorious flowers and vegetation.

“We're a little disappointed,” said Jason. He said 10 or 11 guests from out of town have canceled, not surprising since air traffic up and down the East coast is feeling Irene's impact.

“We're both upset people can't come,” added Ashley.

When they first heard the words “Irene” and “hurricane” together last week, Ashley thought, “No way it will come up here and affect us.”

Now their biggest concern is leaving the Granite State for their honeymoon. They have Sunday, first-in-the-morning tickets on Southwest Airlines for a totally booked eight-day trip to Disney. Then they heard Southwest canceled all its flight for Sunday. On to Plan B.

“It'll be fun, if we can get there,” said Ashley.

Jason is thinking of possibly driving west of the storm to another airport and flying to Florida from there. Or waiting it out, even though every day of their trip has been planned, with reservations made.

Ashley's family, from Maryland, has already arrived. Jason's family is mostly from New Hampshire, with a few from Maryland, who also made it to town. As for their out-of-town family and guests getting back home, “Some will drive around it and others will stay here and wait it out,”Ashley said.

Ashley graduated from Trinity College in Hartford, while Jason graduated from Northeastern University in Boston. He is an electrical engineer at Harvard Apparatus in Holliston, Mass., while she works at a market research firm, Information Technologies Services Marketing Association, in Lexington, Mass. They plan to close on a home in Nashua 12 days after their honeymoon.
