No one wants to think their outdoor wedding needs Plan B. In fact, I am asked to pray more for the weather than for the couple! You understandably have high hopes and have often payed a high price in order to have your wedding outside. But Mother Nature has a lot to manage, and sometimes it may seem she forgot your wedding was important. So having a Plan B can save a lot of grief and also give you a more complete peace of mind as your wedding day approaches. I’ve been part of of weddings where a Plan B would have come in very handy.
For instance, several years ago I officiated a Traverse City wedding that was held at a beautiful vineyard out Old Mission Peninsula. Grey skies hovered over us the day of the rehearsal, and predictions for bad weather on the wedding day began to come. “Oh, don’t worry,” the bride’s mother, maid of honor, vineyard manager, and oh, the waitress each said, referring to the ominous weather. “It will all turn out.”
Pray for good weather
One of the bridesmaids turned to me and asked, “Could you pray for good weather?”
