My aunt swears by hanging the rosary in a tree in the backyard 1 week before the wedding...Her non-rain record 4-1!

Laurie, it may be fun to post this question on the newlywed board. You can find out what the bride to be did, and if it really worked!!

By the way, best wishes for a happy wedding day!!

From reading your posts for the past months, I know that the scheduling and re-scheduling has made this all a pretty trying ordeal. It will all be worth it! Come back and let us know how wonderful your day was!

My mom has done what Sonicstef said a bunch of times. Put a statue of the virgin Mary in your window. It always seems to work!

I'm with you with the VM statue. My grandmother says she controls the weather. I also checked out an old wives tale site to see if there was anything else weaher related on there, and couldn't resist not posting this one:
If you see nine cows in a shed
with a gray bull next to the door,
and all of them lie on the same side,
you are in luck, because you will be granted one wish.
Anyone want to find a farm with me? lol

I was also told if you tape your wedding invitation faced out of your window it will bring good weather. WORKED FOR ME!!!!

I need to run out & get me a Virgin Mary statue, I think I'll get it this weekend with some other wedding stuff I need to get.
My mom is a religious Italian Cathoic & she has statues but not that one!
I am definately doing that AND the rosary beads AND the invitation.
I do NOT want rain!
