their cottage once stood before it was destroyed by Hurricane Irene in
Nags Head, N.C., on Aug. 28. The cottage, built in 1903, was one of
the first vacation cottages built on Albemarle Sound in Nags Head.
Stinson has owned the home, which is listed in the National Register of
Historic Places, since 1963. "We were pretending, just for a moment,
that the cottage was still behind us and we were just sitting there
watching the sunset," said Erin afterward. (Photo: Scott Olson / Getty
