Weather plays such a large role in a wedding day – and for Hannah Olley and Matthew Skelton it was mixed emotions studying the forecast for their April 2, 2017 modern vintage wedding.<\/p>\n

It was a rain-filled month leading up to the event held at Springfield House in Dural, NSW, and the night before scattered showers<\/a> were predicted. After a fine\u00a0morning where the groom, 26, enjoyed some golf and the bride, 24, spent time sipping champagne and preparing<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 the wet weather well and truly arrived.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had fallen in love with Springfield House for a\u00a0garden wedding, but the weather was against us and it didn’t stop raining from the time I got into the car until after our ceremony,\u201d explains Hannah. \u201cThe staff rushed our ceremony inside and it was beautiful. At the end, a double rainbow could be seen.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Mother Nature decided the couple had suffered enough, and the clouds cleared for an afternoon of photos and celebrations. \u201cMatt and I have grown up together from teenagers to mid-20s,\u201d smiles the bride. \u201cWe support each other in all decisions and encourage each other to achieve our goals.\u201d<\/p>\n
