Quick Solutions for the Most Common Wedding-Day Mishaps

With a bit of advance preparation and some savvy on-the-spot solutions, you'll be prepared for any mishap that comes your way.

The Oops: It's raining.

The Fix: All you can do is make the wet weather less of a nuisance. If your wedding will be outdoors, have a backup plan — perhaps put a waterproof canopy on hold at a local rental company so you can get it at the last minute, if need be. Another bright idea: Hand out inexpensive parasols to guests without umbrellas. Weiss often attaches a note reading, "Rain, rain, go away. But you won't ruin our wedding day!" Chances are guests will remember this clever touch more than they will a few raindrops.
