And it's not like it's going to be cold and miserable. And DRBrainfreeze that is so cool that you will be there the same time as me! Maybe we'll run into each other!

That would be great! Maybe I will scope out yours ;-) If anything, we should meet up for a drink!!

My wedding is the same day as yours, and I have been obsessively checking the weather website for the forecast, and saw rain too Hopefully everything will be ok!! What time is your wedding?

I think it says rain every day no matter what. If you have ever been to Florida, you know that every afternoon...here comes the rain!

 

I wold not worry about it.

I've been to the Carribean several times and the rain is usually really brief. But, as a future bride, I understand you being anxious. Why don't u turn the rain into a very cute & unique photo op? Buy rubber boots and matching umbrellas in your wedding colors and when the rain clears up - have your photographer to get pictures of you and your bridal party with the umbrellas and matching rubber boots! Who knows... you may even end up with a really cool rainbow in your photos!

Remember, it's your day. Don't let a little rain steal your joy.

I don't think this time of the year is the rainy season. It usually doesn't rain too long, only a few minutes.

Everything i can see now says that May and June and September and October are the rainy months. Now it says showers on the 8th

If you go to Weather Underground, they give you water equivalents in the Extended Forcast. It ranges from trace amounts to .31 inches for next week. To me, that is most likely a qucik shower.

We got married at ROR on May 5th last year. The forecast leading up to our trip was rainy too, i warned everyone that i wasn't flying to Jamaica to get married inside so bring an umbrella!! HAHAHA!! Truthfully though, it rained only twice the entire week we were there, once it sprinkled like 12 drops then stopped, the second time, it downpoured for about 20 minutes. It rains a lot more up in the hills but that's far away from where you will be. Have a fantastic time, and if it does happen to rain while you're there, remember, it could be worse! You could be at home, not getting married in mexico!

 

ETA: as you can see in my siggie pic, the skies were blue! This is what it was like for 99.9% of our trip. Here's hoping it's the same for you!
