Today will be the fourth wedding I've attended in 2004, and the fourth one with rain. Three of these weddings, including today, have been on days with serious rain, sheets of rain, long-lasting, unwavering rain. The fourth, in Montana, had threatening stormclouds rolling across the mountains toward us during the ceremony, and then a nice thunderstorm, with lightning and winds and everything, midway through the reception.
I have two more, possibly three, weddings this year. I'm thinking perhaps I should invest in a nice-looking umbrella.
The rain is a lot better than the unpleasant heat and, especially, the humidity of the past few days, if you ask me [which no one did].

I went to eleven weddings between May '03 and June '04. I count my own in that total, but even if I didn't, that's still a LOT of weddings.
It rained only at my wedding, so far as I remember. But they say rain is good luck. Buy that umbrella!

D. and I pledged to invest in raincoats to replace our foul-weather jackets, and nice-looking umbrellas.
