 A New Brunswick father didn’t mean to steal his daughter’s thunder on her wedding day, but that’s exactly what happened when he was struck by lightning in the middle of his speech to the bride and groom. 
  
 JP Nadeau of Woodstock, N.B., recalls last weekend’s heat was starting to make the guests uncomfortable in their formal clothes when the groom’s father handed him the microphone. 
  
 He only got a few words into his remarks, telling the groom how lucky he was to be marrying his daughter, when he said he felt a powerful surge accompanied by a loud crack. 
  
 “I said, ‘You know Adam, you are one lucky guy.’ And just with ‘lucky guy,’ all of a sudden there was this bam,” he told CTV News Channel from Woodstock, N.B. 
  
 “The electricity went through the wire, because I was holding a microphone. I saw lightning in my hand. I was really freaked out.” 
  
 The guests assembled in Nadeau’s backyard orchard were shocked as well. His wife, Maggy Thomas, describes seeing a “fiery flash” in the spot where her husband was standing. Nadeau said he was shook up, but otherwise uninjured. 
  
 They said the bolt was quickly accompanied by a massive downpour that sent everyone running for shelter. 
  
 “Somebody should have built an Ark,” Nadeau said. 
  
 Upon realizing he survived, his thoughts immediately turned to the hand he was using to grip the microphone. 
  
 “I felt the current go right through me, but it was my hand I was worried about, because I’m a piano man. I want to keep playing. I don’t care if I die. I want to keep playing,” he said. 
  
 The rest of the wedding went smoothly, according the couple. 
  
 “After that, people were coming around wondering why I was still alive,” Nadeau joked. ||||| ‘All of a sudden there was this lighting flash that hit,’ said JP Nadeau, who was able to continue his speech and said he was not injured in the incident 
  
 JP Nadeau was determined not to let anything get in the way of his daughter’s wedding – not even a lightning bolt that surged through his hand partway through his toast to the newlyweds. 
  
 The Canadian couple had just been married an hour earlier at an outdoor ceremony in his family’s apple orchard in Woodstock, New Brunswick, on Saturday. A few clouds had started to roll in on the hot, sunny day as the father of the bride took the microphone to make his speech. 
  
 “I said: ‘Adam, you are some lucky guy,’” Nadeau told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. “As soon as I said that, my daughter’s eyes – she was looking at me – just popped right out. Because all of a sudden there was this lightning flash that hit right behind me.” 
  
 Nadeau looked down just in time to see his right hand light up. “It was like I was holding a lightning bolt in my hand, it was amazing,” he said. “I’m sure I jumped, because I felt a major shock. But after that I was kind of okay and I even continued speaking.”

 His speech was again interrupted – this time by the people in the sound booth who were frantically yelling at him to bring back the microphone he was holding. 
  
 He calmly walked over to the sound booth to hand them the microphone as the wedding guests looked on, stunned. “They thought I was going to drop dead.” 
  
 An avid piano player, Nadeau checked his hands for any signs of damage. When nothing turned up, the wedding continued. 
  
 Along with the lightning had come sheets of rain, forcing guests to huddle under a large tent that had been set up. “We just stayed there and partied in there until it stopped raining,” he said. “It was really good. It was really a fun thing.”

 Days later, he had yet to visit a doctor. But he brushed off any concerns about his health. “I’m okay, there’s really nothing at all.” 
  
 The lightning strike had felt like sudden shock that ran through him, he said, leaving just a scorch mark on his thumb where the electricity had likely entered his body. 
  
 “A lot of lesser men would have perished. But I don’t know how it happened that I could just walk, scot-free,” he said. Laughing, he added that the jolt might have even helped his health. “I was saying to someone I think my knee is working: better.” ||||| story transcript 
  
 J.P. Nadeau was expecting his daughter's wedding to be an electrifying day — but it's safe to say it far exceeded his expectations. 
  
 As he was delivering his speech Saturday during the outdoor ceremony in Woodstock, N.B., his right hand was struck by lightning. 
  
 The father of the bride got quite a shock, but he was not injured. He told As It Happens guest host Laura Lynch about the moment he was struck: 
  
 J.P Nadeau: At 3 o'clock, the father of the groom, he got up and said something, and then it was my turn. I got the mic from him, and I said, "Adam, you are some lucky guy." 
  
 As soon as I said that, my daughter's eyes, she was looking at me, and she just, like, popped right out, because all of a sudden there was this lightning flash that hit right behind me. 
  
 The power went into the soundbooth and came back through the mic cord, and I was looking at my hand, and it lit up. My whole hand — it was like I had a bolt of lightning in my hand. 
  
 I must have jumped, I'm sure I jumped, because I felt a major shock, but after that I was kind of OK.

 Laura Lynch: How did other people react? 
  
 JPN: They all were stunned as well as anyone. Because I didn't see it, they saw it. That's the great thing about getting hit by lightning ... if you got witnesses. Because a lot of times you've got nothing to say about it, right? 
  
 LL: What does it feel like to get hit by lightning? 
  
 JPN: It was a sudden shock, I gotta tell you. It just ran right through me. It was crazy. 
  
 LL: Has there been any damage? 
  
 JPN:No, no, not at all. I think my knee's working better (laughs) 
  
 I didn't feel anything, and everyone is amazed I'm alive. 
  
 LL: Do you take it as any sign from above that the lightning struck just as soon as you told your new son-in-law that he was a lucky guy? 
  
 JPN: Well, I'm usually quite spiritual about things like that. I think it's got to be all right and anyway. There's a rumour that goes around that if it rains or thunders on your wedding day, it's a good sign. 
  
 LL: Yeah, but the father of the bride getting struck usually isn't part of the equation. 
  
 JPN: Well, I guess that's sort of the exclamation mark at the end of the blessing. (laughs)

JP Nadeau might not be the luckiest man alive, but he can certainly give an electrifying speech. The Canadian was speaking at his daughter's wedding in an apple orchard in Woodstock, New Brunswick, on Saturday when he was struck by lightning, the Guardian reports. "The father of the groom, he got up and said something, and then it was my turn," Nadeau tells the CBC. "I got the mic from him, and I said, 'Adam, you are some lucky guy.' As soon as I said that, my daughter's eyes ... just, like, popped right out, because all of a sudden there was this lightning flash that hit right behind me," he says. The power went through the mic cord and "it was like I had a bolt of lightning in my hand," says Nadeau. "I felt the current go right through me, but it was my hand I was worried about, because I’m a piano man. I want to keep playing. I don’t care if I die. I want to keep playing," he tells CTV. Moments after the lightning strike, a heavy downpour started and guests ran for shelter. Nadeau, who was shaken up but uninjured apart from a scorch mark on his thumb, says the rest of the day went smoothly, though "people were coming around wondering why I was still alive." Asked whether he thought it could have been a sign from above, he said: "There's a rumor that goes around that if it rains or thunders on your wedding day, it's a good sign."
