Does the venue itself have a backup site or plan for you? Even if it's not a pretty indoor location, you'd need a backup plan without having to cancel the venue completely. If your wedding date really is in 2011, I'd be sure to work out something in the meantime so you don't have to worry!
In my case, I had an outdoor wedding but if necessary we would have gathered in the lobby of the bed & breakfast. Certainly not as nice, but at least a dry option.
You should have a back up plan. Have you asked if the venue has a tent for rain? (A nice big one, you know what I'm thinking of) And if it rains its good luck! At my sister's wedding the electricity went out! very difficult to take pics w candles! It will all work out just discuss what the venue has in place already in case of unsavory weather.
Please please PLEASE have a back up plan. My parents went to a $60,000 wedding this summer where the bride didn't have a backup plan. It was POURING down rain at 11 AM and the ceremony was at 2... they finally figured out a solution an hour before the ceremony. You don't want that kind of stress!
And also, they say a knot tied in the rain is harder to untie :-) Not that the saying helps, but I thought it might help cheer you up a bit!
For the sake of your sanity, I think you absolutely have to have a backup plan! Is your ceremony venue the same as your reception venue? I went to a wedding where the ceremony was supposed to be outside in the garden, followed by a reception indoors in the ballroom. But it rained, so instead they held the ceremony right on the dance floor in the ballroom, and the guests all watched from their tables (before any food was brought out, of course!). It wasn't ideal, but it got the job done and everybody stayed dry!

My ceremony will outdoors and I was looking at the venue booklet and the cancellation policy is full refund 72 hours in advance. That's whole 3 days before the ceremony. It will be end of June in Chicago. Very unpredictable weather and I'm not sure if I would trust the weather forecast so 3 days out. We're getting to ready to sign the contract and I'm sooooo worried about this. The main reason we're choosing this venue is for the outdoor ceremony location and I have a dreading feeling that it will rain for sure. My FI is soo sweet and and he tells me not to worry and just take a chance on this. But this place has a 2 grand fee for the outdoor ceremony, so I feel like that's a lot of money to lose! What do you all think? Should I not worry about this? What was your venue's cancellation policy?
