Back up plans

goofypeanut1983

I am planning a wedding for October of 2011 and we are looking at having the ceremony by the local state park lake and the reception indoors.  Any ideas on what I can do for a back up plan in case it rains?  I am at a loss....

Rent a big tent??

My daughter's back up plan amounted to having the ceremony in the reception place with everyone sitting at their tables.  Thank goodness it stopped raining4 hours before after raining all morning

i don't have a back up plan and i'm getting married next month....the chapel is open but it has a roof....if it rains i'm sh*t out of luck and i'm going to be a wet bride. pray it doesn't rain! but yeah i'd see about renting a big tent.

Yup, I would have a back-up plan no matter what.  Most opt for their reception venue as the back-up.  But I would make sure to do something.

Our back up plan was our reception site, which was indoors. It was the cheapest and easiest alternative.

I think you need some sort of tent!
