Sometimes, timing is everything

On Saturday my cousin got married at a very unique outdoor location. It has a restored school house and barn. For months he and his bride have been planning to get married on the steps of the school house. However, the weather in Illinois this weekend wasn't exactly what one would have predicted for a wedding on June 10. I think the high for Saturday was around 55 and it was raining. It was pretty gross out. However, this bride and groom had faith in their plans and had no intention of changing them. There was no alternative plan (that I know of).

Their wedding was at 4 p.m. As we drove to the wedding site at 3:30, it was raining and I think most of the guests were wondering what they were going to do. About 3:50 the rain stopped, the groom quickly grabbed some towels and with the help of others wiped off most of the chairs. At 4:00 p.m. they got married outside on the steps of that school house, just as they planned. It didn't rain again the rest of the night.

Yes, sometimes timing is everything....but I also believe there were more prayers sent up for that rain to stop than I could count on all my fingers and toes. Luckily, the one in charge was listening and answered.
