I'm in the final days and I'm thinking about things I can't control....ie weather

 So I just checked the "extended" weather forecast....Yes I have a rain plan but, I really don't want to use it!!!! It says partly cloudy and a high of 68 with a 20% chance of precipitation! Holy shit it's going to perspire on my wedding... or maybe I'm going to do that...is there a  word to describe one type of precipitation like geese vs goose? Perhaps not, I don't have the time to check right now either. I know it's possible and I can't stop mother nature but,I really don't want rain on my wedding day...! Speaking of rain on your wedding day here are some myths that I came across on the interweb. This was taken from Metro Creative Services
According to Greek culture, tuck a sugar cube into your glove on your wedding. The sugar will sweeten your union.
• English tradition says that Wednesday is the best day to marry. Monday is for wealth and Tuesday is for health.
• The groom carries his newly betrothed across the threshold to protect her from evil spirits.
• Hindu tradition says rain on your wedding day is good luck.
• For good luck, Egyptian women are known to pinch the bride on her wedding day.
• In Holland a pine tree is planted outside of the newlyweds' home for good luck and fertility.
• A law in 1775 said a wedding was not legal if the bride wore makeup during the ceremony.
• Wedding and engagement rings are worn on the fourth finger of the left hand because it was long believed a vein ran from that finger directly to the heart.
• Ancient Greeks and Romans said a wedding veil protected the bride from evil spirts. It has been a tradition to wear a veil ever since.
• The term "tie the knot" comes from Roman times when the bride wore a girdle tied in knots that the groom was later able to untie. Some also believe it refers to the knots of rope that were tied to form the marriage bed.

Those are some interesting fun facts.  Anyway less fretting about the weather...

2 Weeks to go, Vows.

OK so I'm 2 weeks out, and I am going to post everyday until the day of the wedding! I'm getting excited, we have a lot of Halloween stuff to decorate with and I'm hoping it doesn't look tacky. I think I'll be able to make it look good still. Mike and I were picking out our the sayings we want for our ceremony late last night, I'm pretty excited with what we've picked. I'll post the whole thing after the wedding because I don't want to give anything away but, make sure you listen up! I think you will find our vows/ceremony touching and funny at the same time!
Well I know this post is super short but, I wanted to a least get something out there! see everyone soon!
