The rain started falling early in the morning, and I know this because I was up around 7:00AM. I had hopes that by time the ceremony rolled around, the rain would taper off, for the outdoor ceremony. The big rain drops fell in sheets the entire day. I ran around under a rain jacket and golf umbrella after getting my hair put together. I sat on the stoop of my parent's entryway watching the rain fall, feeling the humidity, cursing Mother Nature.
I dodged puddles with my father, brother, and best friend. The men willingly got wet so that I wouldn't. Thank goodness for the big, beautiful stone shelter. We were married by the sound of rain drops falling all around us. The sky was still open as we hopped along the sidewalk, racing to the car. The pouring rain was forgotten as danced the night away, safely tucked into a hall.
We arrived home at the end of the night as newlyweds to find our cat wide eyes and leaving wet paw prints across the wooden living room floor. We went upstairs to find a small lake in our bedroom, a waterfall cascading through the window. After taping a tarp to the window and cleaning up the water, we fell into bed, exhausted from the day's events, hoping to get a few hours of sleep before jetting off on our honeymoon.
The weather today of course, on our three year anniversary is idyllic, it would have been wonderful if our day had been nearly as nice as this one.
