They say that it is a sign of good luck for there to be rain on your wedding day, but the thought of rain during your wedding portraits may cause most people to cringe. Wet hair, running makeup, and muddy outfits are enough to make many people fearful of outdoor spring weddings, but don't despair. Here are 10 beautiful and fun wedding pictures that you can only get if it rains.

Bride and Groom Kissing Under an Umbrella-Make sure to pack an umbrella that coordinates with your wedding colors. Then, grab your beau and have a little smooch in the rain just like Jo March and Professor Bhaer at the end of Little Women.

Raindrops on the Bouquet-The tiny drops of water on the flowers make for a particularly sweet sentiment.

A Penny for Good Luck, In the Rain Boot-You may have seen pictures of the bride's father placing a penny in her shoe for good luck. How cute would it be if those shoes were galoshes?

Hiding Under the Table-Have a picture made of the flower girl and ring bearer hiding under a table with a long white tablecloth around them to get out of the rain. 

The Wedding Party in Galoshes-Have each member of the wedding party bring their favorite pair of rain boots in order to capture the whimsy of this moment, just in case.

Cake Cutting in Front of a Rain-Covered Window or under an open shelter-When setting up for the reception, make sure that the cake cutting has a beautiful outdoor backdrop. If you are fortunate enough for the rain to happen during the cake cutting, make sure it is in the picture as well.

"Just Married" Sign Inside of the Back Window of the Get-Away Car-The wet glass will add character to the sign, and will be a picture that you will enjoy seeing for many years to come.

Puddle Jumping-Let the younger members of your wedding party take some time at the end of the photo shoot to splash in a puddle or two. Imagine the cuteness of your flower girl and ring bearer holding hands as they jump in a puddle in their formal attire and rain boots.

Wedding Rings in the Rain-Instead of taking the standard picture of the couple's hands with their rings both showing, add a visual depiction of "for better or worse" by taking this picture in the rain.

Bride and Groom Exit Lined with Brightly Colored Umbrellas-Have you guests line up on either side of the path, holding umbrellas as they throw the birdseed. Rather than trying to pretend it is not happening, embrace the rain, and don't be afraid to get a little wet.
