Rain, Rain, go away you can't show up on my wedding day!!!! Snow is so high it makes me want to cry!!!! In all your excitement from the minute you get engaged you are thinking about the wedding date. You choose a date that will satisfy the time of season, vacations or even the right price. But do you ever think that depending on the time of year the weather may be a big question mark.

I have worked with couples who want to have an outdoor's wedding in August and only think it will be hot. They can not conceive that it could be hot and rainy. The majority of couples can not postpone due to inclement weather. But I also find they do not have a backup plan if the weather goes bad.

My recommendations is have an alternative if there is bad weather. Think about renting a tent if you are having an outside affair. Venues may have a space to accomodate you and your guests but that is not guaranteed. Consider that weather with water is not the only culprit. Your big day maybe too cold or too hot. Think about having bottled water available for your guests if it is too hot outside. Think about hot chocolate for guests when it is too cold and you may have a ceremony outside or in an very drafty space.

Your day will be special even through the storm. The weather is just preparing for the marriage.
