“This is why, when you’re planning a wedding at a venue, you need to make sure there’s both an outdoor space and an indoor option as a Plan B,” one person criticized.“Have it indoors next time,” another claimed.“Might be a sign lol,” someone suggested, hinting that the couple should’ve called off the wedding when it started hailing.“That’s the spirit.Rain, hail or shine, the show must go on,” another user cheered on.“Brings wedding crashing to a whole new level,” one person chimed in.Despite what the couple thought would be a beautiful spring wedding, rain on your wedding day is meant to be good luck in the superstitious world.

So maybe they will end up happily ever after!...
