Imagine you wake up on your wedding day to the pitter patter of rain on the roof and instead of freaking out and worrying it’s bad luck, you think about what rain means, what it brings us, and what it represents. Rain means life – for without it none of us would survive. It brings new growth and rejuvenates life. And it represents so many things including life, regeneration, growth, freshness, cleanliness, and newness. Now imagine holding those words in your thoughts as you begin your life with your partner and make promises to each other in front of all of your closest family and friends. What rain represents is beautiful and if you think about those words as you step into your new life as a married person, your rainy day wedding won’t be a disappointment after all, and maybe, just maybe, you might even feel more excited about your day!

So I say, to everyone out there who has a rainy day wedding: let it be a blessing and get excited about it, enjoy it to it’s fullest potential, and know that you’ll have some of the most beautiful and unique wedding photos ever (especially if you’ve hired an adventurous photographer who’s up for a challenge!)
