I am so ready to cry. We've planned an outdoor wedding in a rose garden with an outdoor barbeque at a park and the weather forecast says thunderstorms. We have rain site at the garden thats inside, but obviously not as pretty as the garden...but at the park we're just under a shelter, but nobody will want to be there if its storming. i can't believe this...i've spent so much money on the barbeque reception.

Everyone knows that outdoor weddings are a gamble. It could rain, be windy, hot, cold etc. It's never a smart idea. 10 days is awhile. It could change. Last week they were calling for 70 and storms in my area this weekend and now it's supposed to be 95 and sunny.

The weather is unpredictable. My friend got married at the end of July. Up until the morning of the wedding the forecast was for torrential rains and thunderstorms. The day before had the same forecast and there was a lot of flooding from all the rain. Anyway, the day of the wedding arrived and the rain never did (good thing because there was no rain site option). It was a beautiful, outdoor wedding overlooking the ocean. The weather was perfect all day long. So don't work yourself up (I know that is hard, I've been a bride) because you never know what the weather will do. You can have a forecast of perfect weather and that can also change. The most you can do is hope and pray that the day is as you hope it to be. In the end you'll be married no matter what the weather is. Good luck!

Okay, it's time to find your Zen spot.
You cannot control the weather. You have a backup plan for the ceremony in place. Ten days gives you a little window to arrange for a tent or something in case the reception is too rainy for just the shelter currently available. Of course you'll be disappointed if it rains too hard to have the wedding you've dreamed of, but keep this in mind: no matter what, you're going to marry your guy. Whatever the wedding is like, wherever it's held, whatever goes right and whatever goes wrong, you will end the day married to the man you love.
So make further rain arrangements for the reception, just in case, and then let nature take her course. You cannot control the rain, so concentrate on what you can control and do your best to relax.
In the meantime, I'll be sending dry thoughts.

Oh I feel your pain, I got married in June and the weather was beautiful until the week before the wedding, And we had planned an outdoor wedding and reception as well with really no back up plan. And yes it started raining 1 hour before our wedding was to start.......I was crazy panicking but we were able to move the wedding to our church at the last minute and it amazingly stopped raining right after the wedding and we were able to have the outdoor reception......so dont worry, rain or shine, you will be married on that day, and it will be the happiest day of your life, and who knows, maybe the rain will bring ya a little good luck

Breathe in Breathe out... o.k. Relax. I would not trust the weather man. You have planned for everything, now let it happen the way it's going to. I would check the weather the day before, because weather can change in an instant. 10 days is unpredictable. But if the day before does forecast rain, there's nothing you can do but smile, get married and enjoy your day. Don't let the weather ruin the special day, your handsome groom will be facing you telling you that he will love and cherish you for all the days of his life, not rain, sleet or snow, could change that moment.
Good luck and don't forget to breathe!

Worry only about the things YOU can control. You can't control the weather, so why worry about it? Plan around it -- have a back up plan just in case. My wedding was in a rose garden on the first day of spring. The day before the wedding, we all had to wear winter coats (in southern California!), it looked horrible outside like it was going to try and snow. The day of the wedding, was absolutely picture perfect.

I went through the same thing just a few weeks ago. It did rain all day (calling for 60%), but at 6:00 p.m., the weather cleared up and it was beautiful. Don't panic, even if it's raining that morning. If you do have to have it inside, it will still be beautiful. Worrying does not good.

relax, 10 day forecasts aren't that great. Mine said the exact opposite - sun, sun and more sun. Then as the day started to get closer they changed it to reflect the real weather. Cloudy, hot, humid with a good chance of rain. It did rain a little but we were able to take our outdoor pictures. It will hopefully change for the better for you in a few days.

Its 10 day's away anything can happen still. And at least you have a back up plan. Look at it this way rain on your wedding day is a sign of good luck.
