wedding worries.

i know the day will be beautiful. and everything will be perfect. that's what everyone keeps telling me, regardless of this major worry that i have. i know that there are things i can't control, and this is one of them. but i have always dreamed of an outdoor wedding, and we have the most perfect place for it. but the weather forecast keeps changing wildly!

when i first began compulsively checking the weather (1 month out), it was rain. i knew i couldn't put any faith in it because that's way too far out. it stayed rain for a while, and then this past week, it changed to rain in the morning, but partly sunny in the afternoon (fine with me). then yesterday it changed to mostly sunny and 71 for a high (a little cool for the summer, but better that it's not 95!). i felt like a weight was lifted off of me, since there was no rain in the forecast anywhere near my day.

and then today it shifted dramatically. it now shows rain, and not just a sprinkling. it's showing 1.25 inches during the day and another .75 inches at night. working in the water field, i know that that's A LOT of rain. (and it's supposed to continue on sunday, too--nearly another 3 inches during the day and evening). we aren't getting a hurricane, so wtf.

i just want my pictures outside, and to have the ceremony outside. we have an indoor ceremony option, but because we have a band, it makes things more complicated, and not the best 'looking' option. if it rains, we will get married on the dance floor, with all our friends and family sitting at their tables for dinner. all the money spent on outdoor decorations, rental tables, etc. will be lost.  if we weren't having the band, we would just be flanked by friends and family, with a view out the large windows over the pond behind us (not bad), but that's where the band will be, and i guess i'd rather not have a drum set and microphone be the backdrop for my wedding photos.

like i said, i know i can't do ANYTHING about it, but i just want the rain to stay away. i'm fine if it's cloudy and cool, just rain rain go away, please?!
