Rain, Rain & More Rain! 3 Tips For A Fun & Memorable Elopement In The Rain...

When I think about it, I realize that many of my elopements happen in the rain.

For many couples, getting married outside in a small and intimate ceremony trumps the threat of raindrops.

Often, an elopement is at a Seattle Park, view point or home and if it isn't freezing outside, we're usually outdoors!

If you are being married under the raindrops, here are 3 quick and easy tips for a fun and memorable moment:

1) Plan For Umbrellas! Colorful umbrellas not only cover everyone but they offer color for wonderful wedding photos.

2) Keep The Marriage License Indoors. Some couples want to sign a license outside...not. Rain can create chaos with the ink of a legal document so plan to sign indoors.

3) Find a Tree. Oftentimes, one gets less wet in the rain under a tree or canopy of trees. I was just out at Tree House Point in Preston yesterday for Eric and Erin's tiny ceremony. Yes, it was raining and because of the tree coverage, we didn't even need an umbrella!
