No matter how nice the venue, nothing can prepare you for the rain, wind and all around bad weather…well, that is nothing but Ashley, Sean, their family and friends and the incredible Barrie Golf and Country Club.  When I started getting texts two weeks ahead of time from Ashley, with panic to her texts about how the weather was shaping up for her outdoor wedding, I started to worry.  Every time I peaked at the weather, I held my phone out far away from me as if to command Siri to change her weather report for Ashley and Sean’s date.   But to no avail.  Siri was stubborn, and so was mother nature.  Every day before and after Saturday, beautiful, but Saturday had that yucky storm cloud.  Not only was there a storm cloud, but there was that ever changing number associated with it, 90% chance of rain, 60% chance, no wait…it’s 90% again!

Ashley’s dream was to have an outdoor wedding, so the day of, off we all went guests, groom and family.  We marched up to the spot where the wedding was supposed to be held, and then it came – the downpour.  We all ran back to the Barrie Golf and Country Club, back to warmth and dryness.  The country club took it in stride, and off we all went to the big porched terrace.  Ashley and Sean didn’t even bat an eye.  The location of the ceremony may have changed, but the feeling of the day definitely didn’t.  Everyone had such a great time, and Sean and Ashley could not and would not let a little rain dampen their day!
