No one plans for it, but you need to be prepared for it. And I don't just mean by remembering to pack an umbrella in your duffel bag o stuff that you take with you to the chapel. I mean you need to make the most out of your wedding day, rain or shine, and this sometimes takes some mental preparation. The week before our wedding, the forcast became more and more grim as we approached the big day. The night before when I had come to terms with the fact that our plans for a mostly outdoor wedding were not going to be realized, I had a mini-melt down. I gave myself ten minutes to cry and feel sorry for myself, and then I had to snap out of it. Our wedding was beautiful and amazing and definitely one of the most important events of my life, and I'm glad that I was able to pull my head out of my sorrows in order to enjoy it whether it was inside or outside. One positive of a rainy day is that umbrellas and puddles make for amazing pictures! In fact, photographers will tell you that they prefer an overcast day when shooting outside because the shaddows on people's faces are not as sharp as they are under direct sunlight!

These pictures are priceless, and from the looks of it, the rain was the least of their worries! So pack a cute umbrella, a spunky pair of boots, and get your smile ready, rain or shine!
