I attended my cousin's wedding this past weekend. It was set to take place outside in a field near her home. All week leading up to the wedding, the weather was gorgeous. However, as the wedding day started, it was pretty certain that the weather was going to be uncooperative.
I debated whether I should drag the kids out in the rain for the event. I finally decided that she was going to get married regardless of who was there....and I wanted to be there. So with umbrella in hand, off we went.
The wedding party lined up with their umbrellas, and then realized they had left the rings back at the house. The bride's dad (who was performing the ceremony) was soaking wet. When the bride finally came down the aisle dragging her dress through the mud, someone stepped on her headpiece and it came out. The ceremonial roses for the mothers of the bride and groom went missing, the sand ceremony was skipped (I'm still unsure what happened with that one), the flower girl cried, and the rings (now found) were tied so tightly to the pillow that it took quite some time to get them loose.
Moments after the bride was kissed....the sun broke through the sky to display a beautiful double rainbow right over the wedding site. In spite of all of the obstacles, the wedding still took place. The end result still came about regardless of the surrounding circumstances. And it was beautiful!!!
The bride posted on her facebook page the next day "You can't have a rainbow without a little rain".
