Pete Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Right, for those who don't know, I'm getting married this weekend, but looking at the weather forecast it's going to be, let's say less than clement. And I, being the caring guy that I am, don't want my fiance to get well and truly soaked on the way into the ceremony, or in fact the reception venue, so does anyone know where I can get a really big umbrella that can give her a fighting chance??

Brother_Will Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Without going in to parasols (which some poor sod would have to carry) Id say golf umbrella, light, large, tough and readily available at many sports and golf shops in a variety of colors.

Picola Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 My dad wouldn't shut up about his big BMW golf style umbrella he got with the car. So you could buy a Beemer and use the free brolly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
