Saturday's forecast = scattered thunderstorms Frown

Now seriously, where could I find a really, really big umbrella?

    You need a golf umbrella -- those things are huge.  Maybe a golf pro shop?

    It was the same forecast for my wedding, only the 40% chance went up to 70% chance of thunderstorms the day before the wedding. No rain at all! You just need to pack a few umbrellas to scare the rain away. I bought 5 of them at the Dollar Store (one for me and each of my BMs). Worked perfectly! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you though!

    That's okay! You will have BEAUTIFUL pictures! Pictures with rain can be fun and romantic!

    Go get some cute rain boots to match your umbrella or wedding colors :)


    Think positive and embrace the possible rain. Some say it's really good luck to have rain on your wedding day :)

    THIS! I bought a rainbow golf umbrella from Tar-jay and some cute rain boots the week before the wedding. It rained in the morning but then stopped. No luck with the 45MPH wind gusts, but it made for some cute veil in the air pictures!

    Don't sweat it- I thought I'd be a basket case due to the weather, but I realized it's something you can't control, so just go with the flow!!!

    The forecast will probably change a bunch still.  There was a 70% chance of scattered thunderstorms on my wedding... it only rained for the 30 mins we were in the church for the ceremony!

    Joann Fabric has cute rainboots... light blue and white with polka dots and a big bow.  I bought some just in case for my wedding, and it made me feel a lot better knowing we had fun stuff for rain pics if necessary!

    Sorry about the underline!  I don't know what I did to make that happen.

    DH picked up a bunch of golf umbrellas at Diick's (it seriously won't let me type the actual name) the morning of the wedding.  And I'm sure glad he did.  We got hit with the 40% chance of isolated thunderstorms (hence the galoshes).
