Outdoor ceremony: a checklist for wind and rain

What happens to the arch, the sound and the guests when the weather disagrees.

An outdoor ceremony rests on three things: a stable structure, audible sound and a plan B that can be triggered in twenty minutes.

The arch must hold up to wind of 12 m/s — not over-engineering but the norm on a coast. Fixings stay hidden; florals are secured separately.

Plan B is not “we move inside” but a specific drill: who carries the chairs, where guests go, where the sound lands. We walk it on site in advance.
