"Rain on a wedding day is considered good luck - with the idea that a wet knot is harder to untie... since marriage is often referred to as tying the knot."
Brooke and Curtis planned a beautiful outdoor wedding on the Gallivan Center Plaza in downtown Salt Lake City. The skies threatened rain, the Weather Channel predicted scattered storms, and our afternoon view out the window of the bridal suite looked like this...
We were blessed with sunny skies just prior to the ceremony... enough time for the bride & groom to have their "First Look", and to shoot formal pictures of the wedding party and families. The bridal party made it back out of sight... and then, before you could say umbrella, the rain came down. And, I mean it poured!
There was a mad scramble to bring all of the chairs under the trellice, and the wedding guests took cover. At one point I counted 30 umbrellas up in the air, not including the parasols Brooke and her attendants were carrying. I worried for Brooke & Curtis and all of their plans, until I saw Brooke come down the aisle with her father... look at that smile! What's a little rain anyway, right?
The way that Brooke and Curtis looked at each other during the ceremony was just heartwarming. True love, best friends... surrounded by family and friends in their moment.
Shortly after the ceremony, the rain stopped and the sun came out... in time for guests to enjoy cocktails and dinner on the plaza.
I was very excited to see all of Brooke's planning come to life. Their wedding colors of Green, Black and White were so vibrant and were reflected in so many different elements... right down to the candy treats!
The happy couple...
Congratulations Brooke & Curtis! Cheers to a long and happy life together!
