The newlyweds' kiss didn't quite make the earth move – but the sky was another matter.

A Saskatchewan couple chose to have wedding photos taken on a rural road Saturday when a tornado formed behind them. Photographer Colleen Niska's image of the couple kissing with the twister in the background have gone viral on social media, having been shared more than 13,000 times as of Monday morning.

The wedding was, by the bride's account, a happy but chaotic occasion, from the flooding in the days before the ceremony to the tornado that knocked down the reception tent.
