your opinion about my friends idea
Hi,
Some friends of mine have this idea of creating a special website for brides, where they and their friends and family can pray and gather positive energy in hope of having great weather for their wedding day. Everyone wants a perfect wedding, right..? And sometimes weather has a great deal to do with a successfull wedding, especially if you're have and outdoor party.
Their motivation is that the perfect wedding is every brides dream and a riuned wedding a nightmare. You've got nothing to lose, anyway, so why not try...? At least you can do something, anything. There are no other ways to control the weather, and we know that so much in wedding planning depends on it. Visualisation of a perfect wedding, praying for great weather and a positive attitude can only help.
The site is not ready yet, but the idea is explained on their beta-test site: http://weddingsandweather.com
As they know that I'm active in the bridal community and have 3 firends planning their wedding in 2012, they asked for my opinion and help.
What do you think about this...? Is this a good idea...? Should they go on with it...?
Thanks so much for your feedback! xo!
Re: your opinion about my friends idea
You can't control the weather, however you can have a 'Plan B', which is highly suggested to all of those who are planning outdoor weddings.
Plus, rain on the wedding day is said to be a good omen.
With that said, this seems vendorish in a slight way. Plus, you're surveying brides here by asking for their 'opinions'. You may be crossing a fine line or what is or isnt allowed.
2) Even if you were, my honest opinion is that I think it's kind of silly. I pray in my own time, but I would feel weird asking my friends to pray for good weather for my benefit.
Why would I want to ask randomly strangers to pray for my wedding? Maybe it's just me, but that seems like a really silly thing to ask strangers to pray for. I didn't even ask my family to pray for good weather on my wedding because I knew one way or another, I'd be married at the end of the day and that was all that mattered.
[QUOTE]The best way to have gone about this is leave out the website. If someone was curious they could have PM'd you for it.

Yeah, that's still not a good idea.
MeganLindsay5685, I love the HIMYM reference.
Also, rain on your wedding day is considered good luck. I, for one, love the rain and am actually kind of hoping for it. I think the bride and groom walking together under an umbrella is one of my favorite types of pictures.

<div>So is getting crapped on by a bird, but we all know that people just say that to make the person with bird sh!t on their head feel better. Same goes with rainy wedding days. </div><div>
