Rain on your wedding day

 You can do all the planning in the world, but Mother Nature always does what she wants.  What do you do if it rains on your wedding day?

First, don't stress!  It's good luck for rain on your wedding day, and trust me, every guest is going to tell you this until you go crazy.  Hindus say that the rain on a wedding ceremony makes the marriage knot tie tighter, and have you ever tried to untie a wet knot?  It's impossible!
I have shot a few weddings in the rain, and with a little preparation you can easily make it work.  One elopement we went to a nearby park with a small pavilion.  For another wedding ceremony at a huge cabin, we moved the ceremony to the deck.  By contacting your vendors, you should be able to figure things out.  I'm a professional photographer and I know how to waterproof my equipment and take shots in the rain.  I have an umbrella for the bride and emergency ponchos for guests.  Trust in your vendors, and we will provide.
Another option, and one I think everyone should have is a clear umbrella.  They're affordable online, there is a really nice, 2 person umbrella I like, and also a more affordable smaller umbrella as well.  Bonus is that you can use these on rainy days after the wedding!  Also be sure to have some quick drying towels on hand.  Waterproof makeup and preparing your hair for the rain are adjustments you can make at the last minute.  I also use trees for some of my lightly raining days to get keep the water off the couple.
Whatever you do, remember to have fun.  You're wedding day will turn out awesome and a good support crew and photographer will be able to make your day amazing and captured in a unique way.  Go with the flow, prepare the best you can, and have the time of your life.  This knot will not come undone!
