Nebraska Newlyweds Photobombed by Menacing Funnel Cloud in Incredible Photo

This photo will amaze you.

A Nebraska newlywed couple’s wedding photos were ruined by an uninvited guest: a tornado.

Photographer Alyssa Wallace captured couple Austin and Hailey Bode kissing shortly after they tied the knot on July 19.

A menacing funnel cloud looms in the background.

“Someone happened to say there was a tornado behind us. And I thought, ‘Oh, my God,’” Wallace told KOLN.

“And instead of our first reaction being, ‘Should we take cover?’ it was, ‘Let’s run out into the street and take a picture of the couple on their wedding day, because of course we’re from Nebraska,’” she said.

Local meteorologist Bill Rentschler told the newspaper that it might not technically be a “tornado” since the funnel cloud in the photo doesn’t appear to be touching the ground. However, he confirmed that it was “definitely a funnel,” as confirmed that day by the National Weather Service.

“These are super cool wedding photos, definitely better than the photos I had taken of my own wedding,” he joked.

According to Wallace, the photo perfectly sums up the couple’s unforgettable day, one they will never forget.

“There are beautiful moments to capture with a bride and groom. And that’s a beautiful collection of photos that we take throughout the day. Memorable moments or putting on the dress, or detail shots, the first kiss and everything,” Wallace told KOLN.

“But an experience photo is, ‘Here’s the full story of what happened behind the scenes,’ and capturing the emotion. That was part of the day. And it was a beautiful day,” she added.

Wallace thinks this is the perfect image of the Bodies’ love.

“To see, here’s this tornado going around, but all that matters is their love for each other,” she said. “I just think it really shows the unity between the two of them.”
