BF just showed me this and said "you should post this on The Knot. A luxury travel company charges $150,000 to fuck with the weather so your wedding day will be sunny. I wish I was kidding

BTW, it's not guaranteed to work. I need about 100 gallons of wine to deal with this.

    FI showed me this earlier this morning. Even if I had the money and knew it was guaranteed to work we are in a drought. If it wants to pour on our wedding day I will just be happy there was rain.

    As someone who's beach wedding was "ruined" due to a tropical storm, no way in HELL I would buy into that crap.   I might not have gotten my dream beach wedding, but I have one hell of a story to tell.   Plus I still had one hell of a wedding.    Amazing food, tons of booze and a PACKED dance floor all night. Even in between courses our dance floor was packed.   80 year olds down to 6 year olds.

    Would not change a thing.






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

    A similar story was posted on TK blog the other day. $100,000 and even if it ends up not even being forecast to rain at all on your wedding day, you don't get a refund. I say let it rain.

    I love rain! Plus, rain on your wedding day is supposed to be good luck. (Which means @lyndausvi gets about 50 lifetimes of good luck.)

    Yeah, no way would I buy that. Rain on your wedding day is, as wrigleyville pointed out, supposed to be good luck (in at least a handful of cultures), and really, rain shouldn't make a difference because if the wedding's indoors, who cares about rain, and if the wedding is outdoors, well... you should have a bad weather backup plan anyway! (This is a general you, BTW, not a specific you.) 

    Rain was forecast for us on our wedding day, but it was gloriously sunny. In fact it might even have been TOO sunny. And then it rained non-stop for a week (it might actually have been 10 days) starting the morning after.

    This is ridiculous.  Plus one of my initial thoughts was "and how does spraying chemicals affect the environment/people" which they addressed like two sentences later in the article. 

    Rain is not the end of the world, by any means.
