I tried to think positive thoughts as we drove to the temple that rainy morning. Surely it would clear up just in time for photos!
We had planned to do our bridal portraits before the sealing to take advantage of the dreamy morning light. When we arrived, the rain stopped just as I had hoped. Everything was glistening from the storm—wet sidewalks, vibrant flowers, and colors so rich they seemed to glow. It was absolutely beautiful.
We made it through almost our entire bridal session before the rain returned. And not just a sprinkle—it was a complete downpour! The rain continued throughout the sealing, pouring steadily outside.
Then, just the sealing ended and it was time to come out, the rain finally let up. It held off long enough for us to finish our photos, almost as if it knew exactly when we needed it to. Looking back, the rain became part of the story—one that made the day even more memorable and beautiful than we had imagined.
