I am planning a wedding for October of 2011 and we are looking at having the ceremony by the local state park lake and the reception indoors.  Any ideas on what I can do for a back up plan in case it rains?  I am at a loss....

    My daughter's back up plan amounted to having the ceremony in the reception place with everyone sitting at their tables.  Thank goodness it stopped raining4 hours before after raining all morning  :)

    Yup, I would have a back-up plan no matter what.  Most opt for their reception venue as the back-up.  But I would make sure to do something.

    Our back up plan was our reception site, which was indoors. It was the cheapest and easiest alternative.
