Hey ladies,

Looks like rain is forcast for our big day. Its annoying because we chose loch lomond for the gorgeous scenery and we wont be able to get the photos in the gorgeous wee spot we found in the middle of nowhere (10 min drive from the hotel). Thing is I know there is no point at all worrying about the weather as there is nothing we can do about it. I just wondered if any of the married ladies had rain on your day and if it made any difference to you?

I so wanted an outdoor ceremony but we need at least 2 days of dry weather before the wedding day so the grass is dry enough to put the chairs on. I really dont want to let it get me down but I cant help thinking what a shame it would be when weve had so much sun recently :-(

See thats why we chose our venue as they have an indoor and outdoor option for the ceremony. I wasnt too bothered but they have just built this wooden platform with a reallly lovely black and white mini gazebo thing (with climbing plants round the poles) for the ceremony to take place under. Its exactly what Ive always dreamed of. So I realllly wanted it under that BUT I need to be positive so I keep thinking well, if we cant have the wedding under the gazebo we can have lots of photos taken there as it will shield us from the rain. Its annoying cos its the one thing you cant control lol. I dont want to drive myself mad worrying about it though so I am trying to be positive. H2B says we can go to the place we found on a sunny day and dress up again if I want. He says he'll pay for me to have my hair done again :-) So I suppose thats an option :-)

Thats the thing that gets to me. I know the reception room will look nice as I have the day before to decorate the room and sort everything out and I gues 70% of the day is spent in there. BUT we found this spot in the middle of nowhere where the land jots out into the loch and its surrounded by crazy looking trees and the mountains in the backround. Its like a fairy tale land! I would love photos there but if its raining we have no chance as we need to walk through some woods to get to it.

I suppose we could go back when its sunnier but thats kinda cheating isnt it?

It rained on my day hun. it didn't ruin it, but we were unable to do the group pics outside as the grass was sodden which i was quite disappointed about. but in the grand scheme of it all, it was only a minor problem. It will only ruin your day if you let it. We had a fab day and its the best day of my life so far. so dont panic, buy some wedding umbrellas just in case and just go with the flow. :)) It will be perfect no matter what. xx

I've got rain forecast for Friday :( I just really hope we can get some shots outside cause our reception is at york racecourse and theres not many places inside to get photos at all.

Saturday is forecast bright sunshine which kind of rubs it in as well, but at the end of the day, I can't stop the rain :(

xx

Yep, thats the annoying bit. Its like my brothers wedding. His day was really windy and cold and the day after was gorgeous. So frustrating but like you say nought can be done :-(

Im not gunna let it ruin the day though. Ive put too much hard work in to it lol

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

im hoping i wont care about the rain aha. it can throw it down after 6... cause then onwards il be inside haha.

I'm just worried my dress will get ruined if the floors wet :(

xx

We got there the day before and i was like 'ohhh my god i wona go home' it was frezzing, i actually cryed, but the day of the wedding i couldnt of cared less, we did lose some pics cos of the bad wind and couldnt realise our doves ether :'( but we still got to hold them and have pics with them inside, after the wedding we had loads of pics outside, didnt even feel the cold to be honest, suprised we wernt ill lol you will have an amazing day no matter what the weather......... oh rain's spose to be lucky!! X x

Yeah hun i actualy wanted rain (just a little) but not bloody snow & gales, now that i did not ask for lol x x

Wouldnt have expected anything less from scotland lol x x

ooooooh thats a good point! I have the best wellies EVER! They are by babycham and have robots and space ships on them! I am totallt taking them just in case! Thats a great idea. Gunna pop into town this weekend and see if I can get cheap white golf brollies. The ones on the bay are a bit expensive unfortunately...

I won't be able to check the forecast for mine yet - get married in two weeks. Hopefully it will be ok. I can get sone lovely shots indoors, but the grounds are so beautiful it would be a shame not to get some photographs there. Then again we did our pre shoot with our photographer in the rain and that was in April and didn't bother us. So if we end up with showers on and off I'll just have to bring wellies and a brolly just in case lol! x

I was thinking about that when it was so sunny the other week. I thought how it would be uncomfy in the dress Ive chosen, cos its a mermaid style its very toight and even when I put it on in the house its a bit sweaty. I was worried about it being too hot but now its going the other way. Well at least we are now prepared for anything! I hadnt though about my wellies. I'll tell my bms to bring their best wellies too!

:-( its such a shame when its been so nice recently!

Did you have a nice day other than the rain?

could you go and photos done again in your outfits? Our friend is doing our photos so she has offered to do them again if its raining. It will probably end up costing us about £100 to do it again (for my hair&kilt hire) but I soooo want to see my dress in the sun and the forcast for the 16th doesnt look good :-(

just found the long range forecast that says it should be sunny but as it's not from the met office/BBC weather site I will check their 7 day forecast next weekend! Fingers crossed but if i get showers on and off it won't spoil things completely. Plus we have a lovely photographer so hopefully he won't mind going back to do photos if we can't get the ones we want! xxx
