Weather stalking FAIL

Seriously, why do I unnecessarily stress myself out?

This weekend FI mentioned that Accuweather has a 15-day weather forecast, so of course I immediately checked the weather for 8/28. At first it said change of storms. Then yesterday, it said "strong thunderstorms" (DOH!). And today it says "sunny, warm, and humid." Seriously?!

First of all, I know I shouldn't even be checking the weather this far in advance, because it's always changing until, like, three days ahead of time.

Secondly, why am I stressing myself out over something I CAN'T CONTROL? Cause I'm a bride, that's why :)

    Confession: I did the same thing. LOL


    We had like the same forecast also, but then it ended up sunny and freakin' HOT! Not so great for pics or for a church without AC, but we survived.

    Our chapel doesn't have A/C either! And this whole time I thought we'd be safe having a late August wedding! I think this summer has been EXTRA hot everywhere!

    I did the same thing.  One day it was to be nice, next day 40% thunderstorms, next day sunny.  The day before our wedding it actually said only 30% chance of rain and it rained most of the day.  We were to have an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour and had to move it inside.  It was still a great day.  Try not to look at the weather if you can.

    Sad story - I have been looking at the weather since I started planning...yeah the only think that even exists that far out is averages or the highs and lows from LAST year but for some reason I still had to look. Esp for the HM.

    Well... I just looked at the farmer's almanac yesterday, and it said for Sept. 16-20th rain and snow. WHAT!?!?! Why on earth is there going to be snow in September. I SO shouldn't have looked.

    Apparently the Farmers Almanac said a particular weekend in June was supposed to be the nicest weekend of the summer. That weekend was cold and rainy. Hopefully the Farmers Alamanac is not correct.

    Now I have to go check out Accuweather. I was waiting until tomorrow to start stalking the weather.com 10 day forecast.

    I did the exact same thing... but about 2 weeks out, mine started out saying sunny and lovely, then as it got closer, changed to stormy then to severe storms, and then morning of, I was checking the hour by hour, and even that kept changing every few hours. We totally lucked out and got a pocket in between rain storms, and I got my outdoor ceremony, but, it could have gone either way.

    Its one of those things that even though you have no control over, you still want to KNOW! I did go buy a cute pair of rain boots to have for pics just in case, and luckily didn't end up using those!

    Good luck!
