Katrina's Mini-Baby, Weddings Booms
Hurricane Katrina has given birth to something of a baby and wedding boom in New Orleans.
The Early Show national correspondent Tracy Smith reports that the number of births is way up in many area hospitals a year after the devastating storm, and there are so many weddings that some couples have trouble finding available halls to walk down the aisle in!
One wedding cake maker told Smith it makes sense, since many couples who were "on the fence," mulling marriage before the storm probably had Katrina push them toward the altar. Wedding planner Jennie Keller is so busy now, she sometimes has to turn clients away.
And a mom of four who's just become a mom of five said she and her husband, who evacuated to Florida with their kids, had many hours to while away, and the rest is history.
But she says, if it ever happens again, she and her husband may just learn to play chess, instead!
