PRINTA Brides Best Friend
Our reputation as a “Brides Best Friends” remains intact!! Last year we ran a contest concerning the worst wedding weather based upon the first wedding I ever attended during which it rained. I learned that it can be rather nasty when it is wet. But I also know that if the weather is bad, everyone remembers the day.
I have a good friend who teaches in a local school. In order for her daughter to plan for her big wedding, I provided a copy of the 2008 Farmers’ Almanac last fall. So, here is the rest of the story…
Hi Peter! Just wanted to thank you for giving us the Farmers’ Almanac! My daughter, Heather, got married this past weekend and the weather was fabulous. She picked her day by going through the Farmers’ Almanac. She actually wanted this coming weekend, but after seeing the forecast, changed her date. So, hip hooray for the Farmers’ Almanac!!!!, Sincerely, Kathi.
Some of the weather experts say that one can’t predict more than 3 days out. But, to put it into perspective, last weekend was the most beautiful fall day. No clouds, bright sunshine, dark blue skies and comfortable temps. This coming weekend with be the combination of a couple tropical storms that will result in heavy rain and winds.
So, if you are a bride to be and are planning your day, check out the 2009 edition. You can also go to www.farmersalmanac.com and download three months of future weather.

If you notice a hole in the upper left-hand corner of your Farmers' Almanac, don't return it to the store! That hole isn't a defect; it's a part of history. Starting with the first edition of the Farmers' Almanac in 1818, readers used to nail holes into the corners to hang it up in their homes, barns, and outhouses (to provide both reading material and toilet paper). In 1910, the Almanac's publishers began pre-drilling holes in the corners to make it even easier for readers to keep all of that invaluable information (and paper) handy.
