CRAAAAAAAP!!!!

*sigh*  Thanks for the warning.  Looks like my outdoor ceremony is going to take place during a monsoon. 

FutureMrsKupko

Uhoh! Well hopefully they are wrong- but at least you can plan ahead with getting a tent or a covering for your ceremony just in case? I was just at an outdoor wedding a few weeks ago in the Finger Lakes during a Tornado Warning and it was still beautiful

ChiGirl2013

Savannah doesn't allow tents in the public squares.  :-(  The backup for our ceremony is our reception venue.  We rented a room almost 3x larger than we'll actually need just in case we have to hold the ceremony there.  But a ceremony against a banquet hall wall is nothing compared to a ceremony in a beautiful outdoor garden. 

Oh well.  At least we'll still be married at the end of the day, right?

FutureMrsKupko

exactly! Rain, Sleet or Snow- you'll still be married!

Boooo!!!
20th-23rd. Gusty winds and showers move across Great Lakes.

Hopefully this will change, or just be slight showers! Wind would not be fun, maybe I should keep this in mind when I decide my hairstyle! Thanks!

Well, if this is at all accurate, it might be a close call, but we should be in good shape.  Luckily the ceremony and reception are indoors (in case the "Squall" happens, but comes late), but a number of photo ops on the beautiful grounds where the ceremony would happen would be near impossible.

April is usually pretty dang nice around here, though, so I'm not worried.

I don't know, I've seen some wedding pictures in the rain and they definitely compete with the sunny pictures. I think as long as you have a good photographer, they can make anything work! :)

Kissing in the rain CAN be very beautiful and romantic, provided you don't care about getting your dress wet for a few minutes.

Forget the parasols - I say we all paint "Just Married" on an umbrella!  lol

The good thing is, I have clear skies both the week before and the week after so maybe something will shift.  Hopefully.  Please?
