Wedding Day Weather... help! ;)

[ramanth]

Haha! His goal was to gain enough weight to pick me up, but that didn't happen.

Ah well.

I know it's far to early to worry..but everything else is done and I'm stress free that I had to find SOMETHING to freak out about!

[Karen]

Hey, Kimmy? Any chance, if it does indeed look like rain for that day, you could buy and donate a couple bags of marble chips (not too 'spensive at Home Depot) or other nice gravel, so you'll be walking across stones instead of mud? Dunno how long a trek it is - but I'm sticking with my wishes for the rain to hold off until after you've made the crossing.

[Sevaede]

Yes, I have to go with what everyone else said. The weather can change in a short amount of time. So, here's hoping that the weather will be as good for yours as it was for mine!

Kimmy,

I live in the Southern Hemisphere, so on my wedding day in August, there was always a chance of rain.

In the morning, it threatened, then cleared enough for me to walk OUT IN THE OPEN, did the ceremony, tooks pics, ........... and then it bucketed down for about 4 hours

So, fingers crossed for you!!!! I am sure it will be WONDERFUL no matter what.
And I LOVED your sister's cake!

[Rachel]

so you don't get shoes and dress all muddy

If there is a chance of rain that day, have a pair of plastic sandles available to slip on while making *the crossing* (and carry your wedding shoes). Lift the dress. A few contingency plans will ease your mind, but probably won't be necessary because Pet Talkers are going to be wishing you the most beautiful day possible for *our Kimmy*.

Your sister's wedding cake was beautiful!

[RobiLee]

Well, I will certainly be doing a sunshine dance for you, Kimmy. I have no doubt that the day will be beautiful!

[anna_66]

As someone else said earlier, those weather men are always wrong...I wouldn't believe a word they say

I'll be hoping for a nice non-rainy day for your wedding!

[ramanth]

Thanks guys!

I'll probably follow my sister's example...





Mom teased her about that for days.

Attached is the photo of the cabin my girls and I will be getting ready in (the road looks like black top but it's compacted dirt). The tabernacle is behind me. And in the tabernacle photo you see the little bit of yard I have to cross to get to where I make my entrance.

Piece of cake!

[Rachel]

Oh, Kimmy, I can't believe that you are going to be married in a tabernacle. How absolutely wonderful! It looks almost exactly like the one at the camp grounds that was so much a part of my life as a kid (and now is long gone). What is the floor of the tablernacle? Ours was saw dust.

[ramanth]

This one was built in the 1800's though it now has electricity in it and a cement floor.

I have photos of the inside here:

Andy and I loved how old the building was. Plus since the sides all open up, it gives us an outdoor ceremony feel with a roof over our heads.

*sunshine dance*sunshine dance*sunshine dance!
Kim, Not to worry!
No matter what the weather,
as long as you're together,
it'll be a perfect day,
so dance away, dance away!
hugs & kisses to you, sweetie!

[Rachel]

Kimmy, thanks for the reference. The tabernacle is a perfect place for a wedding, like you said out in the open air, yet protection in case of rain. Plus it is a little piece of history.

You are gorgeous in your gown. I was going to ask if you had any pictures of it. Your selection of bridemaids dresses is just what I would have picked, including the color. They are a bit reminiscent of a 60's style.

I know you will update this site after your wedding and I am eager to see it then. I going to bookmark it. Thanks again.

How did I miss this thread! Oh Kimmy this is so exciting! I am getting all caught up in the preparations and am so happy for you. Everything looks just lovely, and I love the setting of the tabernacle. I wouldn't worry about the weather. There is still a lot of time for the whole forecast to change. The day my daughter got married they were predicting heavy storms all day. It was oppressively humid and you just knew those storms were coming. Well, as they were up at the altar saying their vows the rains came and we could hear the thunder, all while inside and dry in the church! By the time they left the church to head for the reception it was all over. Those of us who have been around PT for a while now, have followed your and Andy's *love story* and couldn't be happier that you will soon be Mr. and Mrs.

[lizbud]

You might have to tell Andy to get ready, this might be a job for
Spiderman. Really, I wouldn't be too worried. We'll all pray for great
weather for you.

[christa]

It might not be as bad as you think.

We had like a 80 percent chance of rain for our wedding day and it turned out to be a BEAUTIFUL SUNNY day!!! They almost never get it right!

Plus . . . I don't believe in "luck" . . . . . . so just go get married and love each other as much as you can, treat each other with as much love & respect as you can and you'll be fine.

Hang in there!!!
