Rain on your big day? The photos get weirder and the memory gets stronger. Adjust the plan, not the joy.

Plans and the meaning of a day are two different things, and only one of them depends on weather. What made the occasion matter was the people and the reason for gathering, and conditions touch neither. The disappointment is real because you pictured something specific. What you pictured was the setting rather than the substance.

If conditions wreck the arrangement, change the arrangement quickly and stop mourning the version in your head. Move it, shorten it, get wet. The days people retell are rarely the ones where everything went to plan.
