When I woke up the morning of Karina and Pete's wedding I looked out the window - it was not raining - it was pouring. There was literally a sheet of water coming off the roof. I took a deep breath and began wondering how Karina was doing - her wedding was in just a few hours, outside, in her parents back yard.
I was admittedly a bit shocked when I arrived at her house and found a smile on her face. She proudly announced that she decided early that morning to take a run to the store - if it was going to rain on her wedding day she was going to have some fun umbrellas and a killer pair of rain boots. The day, after all, was about celebrating her love and commitment to Pete - she was not going to let a little rain get in the way.
As it turned out, the weather cleared up and the rain gear was not needed - although we did decide to use the boots and umbrella in a few of the pictures. Here are some favorites, followed by a slideshow...
