Rain, Rain, Go Away!

Today Boston has seen several freak rainstorms, and now there's rumor a tornado could come our way. How do you deal with emergency situations? What if there's a weather emergency on your wedding day?

As much as it's about the marriage, not the wedding, it's tough not to put an eeeeensy bit of importance on the Big Day. Here are a few tips:

• remember that old wives tale: rain on your wedding day is good luck? Whether or not you believe in old wives tales, let that make you smile.
• think about all those cheesy romantic movies - every great kiss is in the rain, from Little Women (in the book, at least!) to The Notebook (in the preview, at least!*)
• take a deep breath. Now another. And another - look around at all the amazing people celebrating your big day with you. In rain or shine.

*I admit, I've never seen more than the preview of The Notebook. At first I thought my distaste for overly romantic movies meant I wasn't allowed to be a wedding planner. Now I know, it actually means I just have good taste in films.
