My daughter planned her wedding for late in the summer.
- She rented several pavilions in a park and had an outdoor wedding.
The people who owned the park, laid a dancing floor under one pavilion so we could have a good time. All they asked for their help, was to get something to eat at the reception. The week before the wedding, the temperatures were beautiful and there was sunshine. Two days before the wedding, the weather channel was showing a cold front coming in. They talked about showers, cooler temperatures, and some wind. We all kept our fingers crossed as the day of the wedding arrived. The temperature was barely in the forties when we headed to the pavilions to do some decorating. By the time the wedding march started, the temps were still in the fifties and it had started to rain. The owners of the park were kind enough to gather up several patio heaters and scatter them around the pavilion where people were sitting and eating. Older people and those with small children or babies, went home right after the cake was cut. I’m not sure what would have happened if the owners hadn’t had any patio heaters to scatter around. I’m sure more people would have left the reception because it was too chilly to enjoy yourself. My new son-in-law told me they had receptacles everywhere, and all we had to do was buy some space heaters. At least the people’s feet would be warm. It wasn’t the people’s feet I was worried, but the bride and her bridal party who had summer wedding attire on.
