One year’s worth of planning washed away…sort of (A1)
Taken from http://www.weddingcuts.com/imagesb/wedding-signs/wedding-sign_lg.jpg
We had everything all ready…The date had been set, invitations had been sent, a block of hotel rooms had been booked for family that was coming from far and farther away- New York, Nebraska, Indiana…
It hadn’t rained for months in Florida…months. The rehearsal day arrived and it was beautiful. Nice and hot-your average Florida day. Sweltering to our family who weren’t used to this type of heat. The outlook was good. Saturday would be perfect. Right?
Friday. The day of the family bbq. A nice day out at Ft. Desoto Beach…and it’s raining- nothing big, just light rain. I’m gonna go to bed, wake up tomorrow and this’ll all be gone. This is Florida- it hardly ever rains all-day-long!!! And then:
I had a choice. I could either cry, or suck it up and deal with it. So…it was raining. So, we’d no longer have the outdoor garden wedding we’d planned for (and paid for). So, we’re off schedule and the florist is late. The point is we’re here. (Finally) The day is going to happen. (Finally) And we couldn’t be happier. True to Florida form, the rain, which had been falling for now 1 1/2 days decided to stop as soon as the Pastor pronounced us husband and wife- so we got amazing pictures and some memories to last a lifetime.
