Where the Heck is Spring?

[Deleted User][Deleted User] member
100 Comments First Anniversary
in April 2013 Weddings
19 days before our wedding, and we're sitting on a fresh accumulation of about 3 inches of snow, and looking at 2 more to come. What the hell, mother nature!

This doesn't bode well for our plans for an outdoor wedding--all the spring flowers will die (farewell daffodils, etc.) so our venue will look bare, and we're hoping it warms up to the mid-sixties else we can't expect our guests to sit outdoors for a 15 minute ceremony.

The indoor space at our venue is beautiful, too--but not what we wanted. We wanted to be married outside under one of this goregous tree's massive branches. Sigh.

ETA: Yes, we could have picked a date in May, but the price would have gone up too much and we wouldn't have been able to afford the venue.

    It is snowing here too! WTF!! I got to work at 530 this morning and there were barely any flurries. About 2 hours later I look outside and it is almost a white out! It is forecasted to be 50 degrees this weekend, I just hope it keeps climbing!

    I know. I'm bummed about the weather too.  In a few days I will be stalking the 10 day forecast! Luckily, we are doing a church ceremony, so I wasn't counting on it being warm enough outside, but I was really hoping it would be warm enough (and pretty enough) for outdoor photos. Hope it starts to warm up!

    I am in the same boat...and am waiting for the 10 day forecast to start showing predictions for April 5!!! We are getting more snow today! Last year the venue grounds were soooo green...I doubt it will look like that. I would want it to be high 50's and sunny so we can have our outdoor ceremony but we will have to wait and see!

    It's super windy here so there's whitecaps at work.  No diving today.  Hopefully it moves through quickly!

    Supposedly the weather here is supposed to get nicer towards the end of the week and into next week. I honestly don't even care if it's chilly. Just not freezing and snowing/raining. I really want my outdoor pictures!!

    It's such a cold and snowy "Spring"!!!  We are supposed to have an outdoor cocktail hour, but I guess moving it inside isn't a big deal.  I'm still holding out for 60 degrees...

    We're hoping for 60 and sunny! If it's not sunny, it must be 65. My mom is from Florida and will pitch a fit if it's too cold. Otherwise, it's all going indoors. Sad panda.

    You are my alone! I'm 19 days out as well and we had a mini blizzard on Saturday and this morning it's 12 degrees! I'm praying Mother Nature gives us a break!

    Ahhh I'm sorry everyone! I wish I could ship you my 70 degree, sunny CA weather!! But even I'm not doing an outdoor wedding- here in CA the wind and allergies are already crazy and my FI gets them really bad, so we're doing everything inside.

    Ugh I hear you! We are hoping for an outdoor ceremony as well and we do have the option to go indoors but its a small chapel and we really dont want to!
    Our ceremony will only be 30 minutes so we are also praying for 65 out.

    I'm hoping for the 70s (but knowing FL it will be in the 80s...)on my day, no wind and no rain. April in FL is supposed to be dry, but this dry season has been anything but! My wedding and reception are both outdoors, so here's hoping. As soon as I am able I will be stalking the weather reports.

    Spring skipped us, it is straight up summer!  Sounds great until you factor us all in sweating in our dresses/tuxes.  We are inside as well, so it won't be bad, but it will be hot when we are outside taking pictures.

    I'm kind of freaking out about the weather now, with 8 days to go... It's been snowing here the past week and it's supposed to stay cold. I'm going to freeze in my dress! I didn't plan a winter wedding---it never snows here this late!
