"People think my career started when I sent that tape to Renaissance. I’d actually been working hard for seven years before I got to that point.

Tips for Surviving Rain on Your (Outdoor) Wedding Day

Most of the disdain for rain on your wedding day comes from superstition—naturally, one associates a brilliantly sunny day with an equally brilliant and bright outlook with your spouse. However—some cultures actually associate a rainy wedding day as supremely good luck, symbolizing a fresh slate (and fertility, if you're keen!). So when thunderheads roll in on your big day, it's up to you to decide: this, the day you'll be married—tinged by bad luck or graced by great luck?

1. Have a Plan B (but don't abandon Plan A!)

2. Keep the right hardware on hand.

3. Check your vendor's rain policies!

4. Heaters!

5. Your attitude matters.
