Couple Have Reception Site Go Up In Flames And The Band Plays On

Fire fighters crashed a US couple’s wedding reception being held at a hotel to douse a fire that started in a different part of the building. The bridal couple, Trey and Robyn Kunkel, were enjoying their wedding reception at the Radisson Penn Harris Hotel & Convention Center in East Pennsboro, Pennsylvania when the DJ announced that the building was on fire and guests needed to evacuate the room.

Thinking that the announcement was a joke, no one moved – that is, until fire fighters showed up and shooed more than 400 guests out of the building as a precaution. No one was injured in the fire or the resulting evacuation, which was deemed necessary by the fire fighters.

The fire was limited to the roof area of the hotel portion of the complex. The reception was being held in the convention center, which is connected to the hotel, but separated from the actual location of the fire by a parking lot. Guests poured into the parking lot and watched as the fire was extinguished. Once the fire was out, the bridal couple made the best of their plight by donning firefighting gear and posing for pictures on the fire engine with the fire fighters.
