It was supposed to be the happiest day of their lives, and it was, even though the groom was an hour-and-a-half late to the altar.
Misty and Brandon Valdez tied the knot on Saturday, but not before Brandon and his groomsmen got tied down -- stuck in an elevator.
"Got in the elevator to go down three floors and about halfway down, a jolt. We knew immediately something was a little bit off," said Brandon Valdez.It happened inside the hotel the groom was staying at: the Best Western Clovis Cole. Within minutes of getting trapped, the Clovis Fire Department was called to help rescue the groom and six others.A funny story now -- but it also came at a cost.They say hotel management told them the elevator problem was out of their hands -- but they disagree and would like some kind of compensation for the inconvenience.All in all, the couple is thankful to finally be married -- and with a unique story -- for better or for worse.
