Rain Drops Are Falling On My Head...

You can control many things for your future wedding: your dress, the venue, the food, the guest list... one thing you cannot control is the weather. So, be prepared.
Is your ceremony outdoors?
What about your reception?
Do you have smokers in your guest list, that will need to step outside?
Now that you have planned everything, all you can do is hope and have a few things ready:
- DON'T PANIC. And, as my mom always says, if it rains on your wedding day, it is a sign of good luck.
- Tell guests on your invitation if there is a portion of the day or evening that is to take place outside. This put the responsibility on them to be prepared. (It should also set off bells in their minds to skip the stilettos, which will inevitably dig into the grass outside)
- Make sure you have some umbrellas handy for the bridal party.
- Have some extra hair products and make-up handy in case you get caught in a down pour and need touch ups.
- Have a change of shoes available, even if it is to go from car to reception hall, so that your sparkly white (or ivory) footwear does not get muddied.
