So here is Part 2 to my sister’s wedding.  Well they say rain on your wedding day is good luck so I wish that true because there was definitely rain on Sandra and Scot’s wedding day.  There was a terential down pour that lasted a long 5 minutes about 30 minutes before the ceremony was scheduled to start.  We were all up in the suite with Sandra taking portraits and enjoying some champagne when I glanced out the window to see this down pour, I almost choked on my champagne.  I quickly closed the curtains and ran downstairs and went into matron of honor mode.  After debating back and forth I decided to continue on with the plan of having the ceremony outside with the risk of more rain coming.  I know I am crazy but the alternative I knew was going to be such a dissapointment for my sister.  Since everything was setup huppa, seats, seat cushions, flowers everything it unfortunately all got wet and it was impossible to have the huppa brokendown and then put together again indoors.  So the ceremony went on outside.  In less than 30 minutes the biltmore staff, mystique flowers staff, and the girls of Ariel and Crystal Events ran around like chickens with their heads cutoff.  But they pulled it off!  They swept the rain puddles onto the grass, removed the pink cushions that were soak from the seats, dried off the seats, removed the rain from inside the acrylic huppa and so much more.  The ceremony began with a groomsen on the guitar stringing the beatles song “Here comes the sun” which is ironic she chose that song because it started to drizzle as Sandra and my dad walked down the long staircase of the Biltmore.  But just as it came it went as soon as Sandra and Scot joined hands.  I must say at this point I was seriously feeling light headed, so many emotions were going thru my head.  The fear of it raining more than just a drizzle so that the ceremony would come to a hault and everyone would have to dart indoors was an image that could not leave my head.  But of course my sister as soon as she whipped out her vows from her chest she made me laugh so much that my focus was on them and the ceremony.  It did not rain the rest of the day and the ceremony was full of laughter and tears.  My favorit part of course was the first kiss and the exiting down the alter, total bliss was covering their faces.  The photographs that Susie, Emily and Sofia took I think totally captured the emotion of the ceremony.  So then comes the portraits, part 3 coming soon!
