They were blown away by this act of kindness. A Wisconsin wedding was thrown into turmoil when a tornado tore into town — but a singing stranger saved the day. Newlyweds Alex Schilke and Sarah Hipke were serenaded by Jack Jones at a Lake Geneva resort after their nuptials were derailed by dangerous weather on Jun.
22. The couple and their 181 wedding guests were forced to hunker down in the hotel’s basement alongside Jones and his family, who were also seeking shelter from the storm. Amid pouring rain and wild winds, the basement was plunged into darkness when the power went out.
However, a resourceful Jones managed to quell the crowd’s fears and create matrimonial magic by pulling out his guitar to sing for the bride and groom. Jones performed Ed Sheeran’s ballad “Perfect” and shared a video of the heartwarming moment to TikTok, where it has been viewed more than 1 million times “A tornado in Lake Geneva brought a wedding party into the basement of the hotel where our family reunion was happening!” the singing samaritan explained in the caption beneath the clip. “They hadn’t had their first dance yet, and I happened to have my guitar.
The power was out so everyone put up their [cell phone] flashlights and we tried to give the bride and groom a special moment. I’m extremely grateful I was able to sub in to sing and congratulations to the happy couple!” Footage shows the guests standing around Schilke and Hipke as they sing along to the romantic track. .
