Monica and Jason’s wedding embodied the ultimate Seattle day — a rainy one. Chris and I pulled into Medina Park early, and like many other wedding guests, we waited in the car, hoping the rain would taper off. (It didn’t.) We checked Monica’s tweets — no mention of a change in location.

So when 4 o’clock on Saturday drew near, we pulled out our umbrellas and parkas and gamely stepped across the wet grass for a beautiful wedding ceremony.

From doing engagement photos for Monica and Jason in July, I knew this couple was super photogenic. Look at Monica’s great smile as her dad walks her down the aisle.

The bridesmaids joked that their bouquets brought some sun to the day.

Monica says she came to peace with the rain by focusing on its aural quality. She closed her eyes and listened to the drops strumming on umbrella tops.

Congratulations, Monica and Jason! Have a great Tahiti honeymoon!
