rain on your wedding day
im getting married june 10th 2012 and the wedding is going to be in a backyard.. im sp paranoid that its going to rain, so i decided to order a tent. then i realized a tent would really ruin the look and feel of the backyard and just cover up all the beauty of the trees and stuff.. so then i canceled the tent .. now im just nervous and looking up stats.. theres a 30 something percent chance of rain that day but i just cant decide what to do! i kinda wanna take a risk and just hope it doesnt rain.. if it drizzles, ill live but if it pours, im screwed.. i feel like if i get the tent, and it doesnt rain, ill be super pissed. any advice? should i be ballsy?

Re: rain on your wedding day
If you can't handle the pressure of having an outdoor wedding then move it inside, and take lots of pictures outside.
Wedding stuff.
I always wanted to get married outside....but the forecast for our wedding ended up saying rain...so we moved the ceremony inside the day before.....it rained during out ceremony and stopped right after.....I am still married...still had an awesome ceremony and was able to get pictures outside.
Still get a tent. I will tell you with it being summer you will want the tent for shade. Even if it doesn't rain, people will not want to be sitting out in the sun for all that time.
You also need to think about what you will do with severe weather. Summer is known for quick thunderstorms.
If it started to drizzle and you didn't have a backup to get me out of the rain I would be heading for my car and going home, ticked. You need a backup plan and your guests comfort is far more important than the look of the backyard. Should you be ballsy and not get a tent? NO!

However, it was there if necessary. If it rained or was too cold (very real possibilities in early May and was true the day before and day after our wedding), we would have been inside whether I liked it or not. Luckily, our wedding day was beautiful and warm.
Have a back up plan. Even if you dislike it, have it. No one wants cold, hot, sunburnt, hungry, or wet guests.

[QUOTE]If none of these other excellent arguments has swayed you - consider this. What would rain do to the "look and feel" of your photos if everyone had to stand in the rain for 30 minutes? Do you really want to have nothing but photos of wet, angry people in their soaked dress clothes?

Best picture set up ever! Well, maybe for some super high fashion shoot...
Alternatively, have a place at your reception venue where you can have the ceremony indoors. Just be sure to notify all your guests that the ceremony is being moved.
