Macro Monday…
March 10 2009, Kokeshi Kasa at home, Olympus 830
The wedding is in less than two weeks and the stress is settling in- my biggest concern for today is “what if it rains?”. See we are getting married outside in a garden…if it rains the venue has a bit of a back up plan to move the ceremony into one of the reception rooms. I am glad there is a back up plan in place but getting married inside a normal room is not exactly my idea of romantic wedding.
So, by next weekend I should be able to see the forcast for the weekend of the wedding- I am freaking out though.
What would happen to the ceremony? Where would we go to get photos? Would we need umbrellas? Oh great, yet another thing to add to the list of things I need to remember to buy before the wedding. Plus, I doubt we could get any as nice as the wooden one above!
Can you tell I am heading into “CRAZED BRIDE” stage?

You are nowhere near bridezilla stage ;o)
I’m outdoors too, and have a very plain backup room. I’m making Kusudama at the moment, so they should jazz up the indoors if we’re there, or just look lovely if we’re outdoors. I’m sure it will still be lovely if it’s indoors – you can look out onto the venue, right?

I kind of wish I had the opportunity to feel the “crazed bride” emotions. We never had a wedding or honeymoon.
Cherish it the feelings Lulu! They’re once in a lifetime.
I will be hoping for clear skies for your wedding day!!!! Best, best best wishes for good weather coming from me. Your wedding is going to be awesome.
The following website gives very accurate weather reports. Perhaps it will help!

Wow!! Almost! This is where the stress sets in, if ever =/ But it will all be worth it, just keep reminding yourself of that part and it won’t be too bad.
Oh, I had the same rain fear. Luckily for us it was 18C and sunny (though none of the green had come in yet… slight dissapointment). I totally was not into the backup plan either but I’m sure it would have been equally lovely had it been indoors.. you make it work. I shall be praying for good weather on your big day regardless. I hope everything turns out perfect =)
You could always go for a “The Notebook”-esque romantique kissing in the rain scene at the end, if it rains. That was MY backup plan. A picture I’ve always wanted to take!
Reading your blog entry just now has brought back all the fear and stress we had in regards to what we would do if it rains… For us though our ceremony was indoors anyway but it was bad enough worrying what we would do for photos if it did rain…
I am sure you will have a beautiful, warm day on your wedding day and even if you don’t it will be just perfect anyway! Don’t stress about the litte things – as a lot of people said to me when I was stressing about the weather, the most important thing you need to make sure of is that Shun is there waiting for you once you have walked down the isle!!! Anything apart from that isn’t important in the long term!
Not long to go now!
teru teru bouzu!!
I’ll make a couple in your honour, too.
My mum has photographed a few windows and if its any consolation overcast skies make for better pictures (no shadows).
A good friend from school was married in a hall in the rain and it was beautiful with the veils of rain out the window.
My wedding was 36 and sunny and we all got sunburnt. It was still fun though…
What I’m trying to say is stressing over something you can’t control will just get you all worried and you don’t want frown lines on your big day, hey?
(but don’t completely give up your chance to be bridezilla- it’s a right!) ;P
Ah yes, I took a photography class in college and we learned that grey skies were perfect for pictures — especially black and white. It makes lighting really simple!
But, kidding aside, I am sure you’ll have a beautiful day. Its Fall there, right? We had our wedding in December, and it was kind of outside, but in a covered sort of pavilion thing, so we were safe, even though it didn’t rain. I was a pretty chilled out bride, but our wedding was, I’d say, a lowkey affair. Yours sounds like a bit more of a production (in a good way, of course, it sounds beautiful and exciting, a dream-wedding!), so its fine to be nervous and wanting everything to be perfect! I’m sure that no matter how it turns out you’ll have nothing but the best of memories because weddings are special. Even people who have had unexpected events at their weddings seem to look back at them fondly, and have a good laugh over it after the fact (My mom and dad got married in a garden and a snake showed up. They have pictures in their wedding album of the “uninvited guest” lol). Even if it does rain (which it won’t!) it’ll still be a perfect, beautiful wedding, simply because its yours!

Hey Lulu,
It rained on my wedding day but luckily our ceremony was inside. However, we had planned to take all of our photos outside so that was a bit of a disaster! Near our church was a big cathedral though, and our photographer took some really great photos – you’d never know that we were just standing in a concrete doorway, or near an window! Also, once it was just spitting, we risked my dress (wrecked my shoes tho!!) and went up to our original photo place and took some photos there. My hubby had the foresight to buy those see-through brollies which actually looked really cool in the photos cos you can see the sky and clouds through them! Honestly, I know everyone has probably been saying this to you, but on the day it really doesn’t matter that much!!
