Rain, Rain Go Away on my Wedding Day!

Well, if you are getting married in Newport this weekend, you have been watching the weather channel religiously because all it has done is rain for the past 3 days! (don't worry, it is going to be gorgeous this weekend!) But what if it does rain on your wedding day?  My advice as a wedding planner is, always have a plan B. Make sure the tent is water sealed, bring the tables at least 8 feet away from the sides of the tent due to drainage, put the band/DJ in the middle of the tent (because the party must go on!) and have some indoor locations on back up for photo opportunities.  In Newport, there are a few indoor spots that will let you take pictures (these ALL need permission beforehand and their may be a fee involved) but some great options would be the Newport Art Museum, Edward King House, Newport Marriott, The Chandler, The Rotunda Carousal, and Ochre Court at Salve Regina. Keep your sprites up, invest in some fun wellies and umbrellas, and pass out some plastic ponchos to guests with a note attached that says "It's raining, who cares...we are STILL getting married!"
