Are you getting married in the Southeast US during hurricane season? In the Northeast US during the winter? Although the odds are fairly low that your wedding will be ruined by a weather disaster there still is that chance. Since you schedule your wedding around a year ahead of time it is pretty much impossible to avoid all of mother natures rages but you can help yourself out by avoiding the higher risk times of the year.

But even if you do your best, there is still that chance of a spring ice storm, tornado, or flood causing havoc. Then again if you manage to avoid the direct impact of one of these disasters there is also that possibility that your wedding reception hall winds up being uses as an evacuee shelter! Okay, you may be thinking I’m off my rocker by now! But these things have happened and now it’s your chance to benefit by the misfortune of others. (Isn’t that nice!) The Farmer’s Almanac website is running a Worst Wedding Weather Contest.” All you have to do is go to their website and read through the 10 accounts of real life wedding weather disasters and vote for your favorite and get a chance to win a cruise or a $500 LL Bean gift card!

UPDATE:  The couple that gets the most votes will actually win the cruise and 2nd place will be $500 LL Bean gift card. (thanks Robyn for pointing that out!)
