Wedding day ruined by sprinklers at Clayton Co. hotel

There is a general expectation that water falling from the sky will not ruin an indoor wedding.

Tell that to Shalita Harris.

The new bride picked the Westin Hotel near the airport for her special day.? While her and her bridesmaids were getting ready for her ceremony, the sprinkler system went off.

But apparently it was more than just water that soaked their dresses. A black oily substance started falling from the ceiling.

"Before we got ready to leave the room, we heard a big boom." Harris told Channel 2 Action News. "I felt like my life was going to end right then and there."

Harris? life didn?t end, but five members of the wedding party did have to go to the hospital because of breathing problems.

The oily substance had turned Harris? dress from white to gray. And her wedding party was decimated. Yet she walked down the aisle, with two of her eight bridesmaids standing next to her.

?"The sprinkler just came on and out of the sprinkler came black stuff," bridesmaid Jasmine Robinson told Channel 2. "How we got out is we just grabbed the blanket off of the bed and we all hovered underneath it in a line and we got out of the room," said Robinson, who wore her stained dress in the ceremony.

The hotel?s general manager said that was the only room affected. The cause is not known.

"They went out with a bang, a big bang, not necessarily a good bang, but a big one," Robinson said of the couple.
