A vineyard on the edge of a medieval village. Terracotta walls. Olive trees older than anyone on the guest list. The weather app swore it would pour all weekend. The sky? Blissfully ignoring it.
They met over spilled Chianti at a dinner party neither was supposed to attend. She stayed for dessert, he stayed for her.
• Always have a “Plan B,” but make it look like “Plan A.”
• Local weather apps lie — bring the umbrellas and the champagne.
• Lean into whatever the day gives you. Sometimes the threat of rain makes everything feel more alive.
Just as the couple stepped out for golden hour portraits, the wind caught her veil and sent it sailing over the vineyard wall. He climbed up, retrieved it, and came back to a standing ovation.

The forecast promised a downpour — the kind of all-day, cancel-the-outdoor-ceremony rain that makes wedding planners sweat in places we don’t talk about. The couple packed umbrellas, we packed backup linens, and the florist packed enough tarps to cover a small vineyard. Guests began placing bets on how long it would take before we’d be herding everyone into the wine cellar.
And then… nothing. Not a single drop. Just a slow-burn Tuscan sun, warming the stones under our feet and softening the edges of the day. The kind of light that makes even the last-minute plus-ones look photogenic. This is the story of how a tiny hilltop village, a fearless couple, and one overly dramatic weather app conspired to give us a wedding worth talking about — rain or shine. Somewhere between the first toast and the last dance, the sky decided we were worth keeping dry.
