No-one can predict the weather, and yet it is probably one of the biggest worries a bride and groom can have about their big day as it is the only real thing that is completely out of your control.
The best thing you can do is to try and find contingencies amongst your day plan - if you can't have photo's outside, can you find somewhere indoors? Maybe, if you have a free corner, could you set up a photo booth?
If you need to walk outside at all, why not invest in some wellies and an umbrella in your wedding colours?! - You'll be protected from soggy feet AND get some cool, quirky pictures!
Use the rain to your advantage! - Have some fun and be a little daring - why not CHOOSE to have some photo's outside?! There is still plenty of opportunity here for your photographer to capture some brilliant shots- particularly couples ones, provided you don't mind getting a little damp!

Try and factor in additional times during the day where being outside can be attempted - Generally in the UK, (particularly in the summer), it doesn't normally rain continuously, but if it does decide to shower while you're trying to get your outdoors on and you don't fancy getting down and drizzly, without a contingency this can scupper your plans. Allow pockets of time however, and your odds of an outdoor photo opportunity are much greater.
((Plus, from a photographers point of view, we can take great shots in just 10 minutes, if given the time to play with! - Just check out the above!))
Lastly, don't panic! The rain can't 'ruin' your wedding day. If it showers, it showers. If it pours, it pours! THAT is your day- Make it yours! Besides... some say it's lucky for it to rain on your wedding day!... What a brilliant, completely unplanned head start!
Love,
