    We leave tomorrow for the New Orleans.  I have been following the weather and it started off with the wedding day having 10% chance of rain.  It has moved up to 40% chance :(  EEK we are having a beautiful outdoors wedding and reception with NO tents!  This is not looking good at all!

    PLEASE OH PLEASE RAIN GODS DON'T RAIN ON MY PARADE!

    Rain on your wedding day symbolizes good luck...or so I've heard. It might just be to make the bride feel better but hey, why sweat it, there's nothing you can do but find a backup. Good luck, enjoy every minute this week!

    I agree that weather is unpredictable.  Our forecast said 80% chance of rain.  Of course I worked all week with my photographer and husband to warm up to the idea of rainboots and umbrellas.  And the rain went until 11am, it was sunny by noon and completely dry by about 1:30pm.  Enjoy every minute either way!  When things started to stress me out I learned very quickly to calm down and not let things I couldn't control get to me (even though I know that sounds hard - believe me, for a day or two I was hysterical about it raining).

    I am calling that weather person right now to tell him to change his forecast.  Eh, they never get it right anyway, only job in the world where you can be right half of the time and call it good.

    Aww thanks everyone for all the positive thoughts.  I think my FH is freaking out about it more then me.  I am too busy today to even think about it.  Must finish up everything.  My suit case is all I have left to pack.

    I am getting married Friday and while the ceremony is indoors, we did want to have our reception be a combined indoors and outdoors event. Darn it, it doesn't look like that will happen. I live in Southern Utah and it is supposed to be like 80 degrees this time of year. We'll be lucky if we see 70 degrees. So bummed :( Best wishes to you! Hopefully the rain just goes away for a few days :)

    I'm in So. California, and it's 40% rain for Friday... sad sad sad...

    The ranch we are getting married at is all dirt and grass. If rains, my train will never come down. Sad sad sad. And that lady at church needs to stop asking me "Is it going to be inside NOW??," as if she's watching a game of chicken with me and the weather. Oh well. Even if I'm covered in mud and my paper parasols never see the dripy rain, I will still be married to the man of my dreams..

    But just in case, let's keep hoping it will blow over ;)

    I am so worried about rain too. The Almanac says it should be sunny and warm (47 degrees), but the 10 day forcast shows rain all the way up until the day before....

    I really hope it doesn't rain on your day :-)

    It rained on my wedding on Saturday and its been sunny every day since!  (Boo!)  But honestly, it will go fine, I promise.  Our wedding was fantastic.  Everyone said the rain made it more romantic and cozy for the guests.  They may have just been telling me so, but I'm going to choose to believe they were telling the truth!  

    I hope it doesn't rain for any of you, but if it does, just know you took a day of rain for a lifetime of good luck!

    @Ginger, I hope you are right! lol. I am so bummed, I just checked the forecast and it is 40% chance of rain. Dang it! So glad I didn't opt for an outdoor ceremony. That would have really sucked.

    @Sukiapple, We are date twins! Woo! It's been tough to find one since it is on a Friday.
