Rachel and Jacob had planned on having their ceremony outdoors in the Lord Thompson Manor gardens, but the weather had other ideas in mind. Thirty minutes before the ceremony, it began to pour, leading the couple to believe they would be saying their “I dos” indoors. But the staff at Lord Thompson Manor wasn’t ready to let a little rain put a damper on the day. “The staff at Lord Thompson Manor actually blow-dried the seats and even the grass, so we could have the ceremony outside,” Rachel says.
