These past few weeks have been stressing me out. Everything is going great planning-wise, but it’s this crazy NYC weather! Way back when, we scheduled our engagement shoot - we chose October because usually the weather is crisp and cool, and the days are (mostly) sunny. The mans and I almost had our outfits picked out.

There was just one teeny, tiny problem - the extreme cold and rain we’ve been experiencing here. I tried to outsmart Mother Nature, to limited success. Witness:

Exhibit 1: My Firefox Setup for the past few days

Those tabs are Weddingbee, weather.com, accuweather, NY1 Local Forecast, blogger, and Facebook. As you can see it’s rain, rain, all the days this week, on the NY1 site.

Exhibit 2: summary of my crazy emails to our lovely photographer, Erica Lyn:

Email 1: Confirming our e-shoot on 10/15

Email 2: Asking if should we change our e-shoot to the day before?

Email 3: Saying no, it’s okay, let’s keep 10/15.

Note that Emails 2 and 3 were sent within half an hour of each other. Umm, sorry Erica!

This morning, the weather was quickly going from bad to worse. Erica and I assessed the situation in the morning, and by noon decided that it was just not great e-shoot weather. I was bummed, but I knew that non-rainy weather would really make for a better shoot.

Unfortunately, this means that I didn’t get to take full advantage of my hair and makeup trial that I had this morning with Sissi Chan (which turned out great - I’m super happy with the results! More on that in another post!). But I later went out in the rain and wind, and that confirmed that it was the right decision to reschedule. It is just miserable outside! I’ll keep you posted on E-Shoot: Take 2. ‘Til then:

Have you worried about something beyond your control, such as the weather?
