When do you start trusting the Forecast?

Don't check the weather yet! I'm getting married Saturday and I didn't start checking the weather til Monday and every day I've checked it since has been DIFFERENT. Seriously first it said 60-% chance of rain, the next day 20%. One day PM showers, the next day AM showers.

So I've given up checking until Saturday morning - our venue has a backup indoor space for the ceremony etc so thankfully I don't need to worry either way.

Our wedding is in 2 weeks and the forecast has been staying mainly consistent - 85' and mostly cloudy. I've seen our venue (a glass atrium college hall) on overcast days and I've been there in the brilliant sunshine, it's beautiful no matter the weather. For now we're slated to have our cocktail hour in the private courtyard out back (a little luxury for a city wedding) and I'll be a smidge sad if we have to move it, but we do have a backup plan to move the cocktail hour to another room and it will be fine however the weather pans out. I wish all you ladies and gents sunshine and cloudless skies on your wedding day and if not, just remember the reason for the event and the fact that you're marrying the person that brings sunshine to most of your days because we all know no one is perfect

Happy wedding month!

Personally I would say - don't look at the weather forecast (or stress out about it) any earlier than 1 week before your wedding! You'll just drive yourself crazy!

However, the weather can still change drastically in that last week! My husband started freaking out about the weather the Monday before our wedding and giving me daily updates... which really stressed me out - but it did prepare me emotionally for the downpour that was our wedding day. I'd had all week to come to terms with the fact that it'd be raining! 🌧️

On a serious logistics note - definitely pay really close attention the last 1-2 days before your wedding if there are any changes to your plans that need to be made.

I wouldn't freak out yet, it's too far out. I would say a couple days before would be more accurate forecast. We're having a private ceremony on a mountain on the 7th and I don't exactly have a rain plan, but I think there's a pavilion there where we can escape.

I think we just need to roll with it. We can't control the weather, so we just gotta try to adapt the best we can. Own it and make it ours. Dance in the rain....lol, eff it, it's our wedding day!

Girl, im praying on clear skies too, mine is September 1st

We're getting married outdoors on my parent's property and my concern is more for the unbearable heat than anything else (superstitions say that rain on your wedding day is a sign of good luck!). The venue is in the interior of British Columbia and has recently seen temperatures hitting the low 100s (that's more than 40*C for my fellow Canadians!), so I've been watching the long-range forecast as well as yearly averages - those all bode well in my favour for a balmy 24*C (mid 70s) and partial cloud cover which is great for photos and general guest comfort.

I'm first to obsess and stress out about stuff like this, so I do have a backup plan in case it fully rains but at the end of the day, as long as you're able to marry your partner and celebrate your love, the rest will happen as it's meant to be. You have your backup plan, and definitely give yourself time to adjust as you get closer depending on the weather, but then go with the flow - there's only so much you can do.

I've been told that all those details we lose our minds over aren't worth it in the long run, and that we need to make the most of the time up to the wedding, and the day itself. These are things we can't control (as an A-type personality I struggle with that daily ) and giving ourselves grey hairs over it takes away from the most important thing - the day you marry the one you love

I am 2 1/2 months out and I am freaking out about the weather. And I think your location will change when you can depend on the forecast. Where I live, I can't trust the forecast until a few days before because that is how quickly it changes here. So think about that. If your weather is that unpredictable then try and take comfort in that it could change. And I would say don't stress until you are within the 10 day window because that is typically when it becomes more accurate.

I actually haven't looked until I saw this post haha. It shows 80 degrees, but with 15 days left that could change. Our weather here is pretty consistent...we don't really have seasons. I hope it doesn't rain for you, but if it does it'll be wonderful none the less.

Is it wrong to say I don't trust it until I look outside?
