Every couple prays to the weather gods in advance of their big day in the hope of glorious sunshine. Why else is the Child of Prague, the statue of the flamboyantly-dressed baby Jesus, found in almost every Irish household the night before a wedding? But as it's almost impossible to predict the weather, even in summer, all you can do is live in hope, and prep for a scorcher in style.
