Post-wedding b****
We went to DH's cousin's wedding this past weekend. It was an outdoor ceremony, but it POURED the entire weekend. (When I say pouring, I mean pouring - there were flooded roads,
many towns/cities in the area declared states of emergency because of all
the water.). Well, the bride still insisted on having the ceremony outdoors because "it's such a beautiful location". Are you freakin' kidding me? All you could focus on was trying to stay dry. I refused to sit down on the wet chairs because I didn't want to ruin my dress, so we stood in the back as did many other guests, so half the people were sitting and half standing. Umbrellas everywhere. You didn't say any part of the "beautiful location." The BMs had umbrellas, but only one or two GM did, so they got soaking wet and then had to go and take photos. No umbrellas offered for guests to use.
And they didn't even complete the entire ceremony - they did quick vows, the kiss and that was it. People were high-tailing it back to their cars before the B&G had walked back up the aisle. They finished the rest at the ceremony at the reception (where, BTW, they had nine speeches).
The groom's mom (DH's aunt) confirmed the day before that they had a back-up plan, but I guess they refused to use it. WTF?! It's pouring rain and you'd rather everyone get wet and miserable then use your other indoor location?

So rain, and her refusal to do it elsewhere for everyone's comfort? Horrible.
For DH's sake I got out of the car, but believe me, I was tempted to just skip it!

That is crazy! How can anyone appreciate the beautiful venue when it's pouring rain? No one can.
Our venue had a wonderful back up plan. And they have heat lamps for when it's cold.
