Guarantee Good Weather’ at at Your Wedding
LONDON (MNA) - Weddings meticulously planned for months can be ruined by terrible weather – so this company’s offer to control the conditions on the big day sounds incredibly enticing.
There’s a catch though. Playing God with the weather will cost you £100,000.
For some people that will no doubt seem like a small price to pay to ensure they have a perfectly dry union.
Luxury travel company Oliver’s Travels said it can ‘100% guarantee fair weather and clear skies’ for your wedding day using a ‘crack-team of cloud busters’.
Oliver’s Travels say that the squad, made up of skilled meteorologists and pilots, fly their plane above the clouds and sprinkle them with silver iodide particles. The vapor in the clouds wraps itself around the iodide particles, condensing into water which then falls as rain.
The process begins up to a week before the wedding to ensure the skies are cloud-free for the big day.
The cloud-bursting technology, which works by dispersing cloud vapor into the air, is not brand new – it has been trialed since the 1940s and was used in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, a Paul McCartney gig and at Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding – but has not yet made it into the mainstream of wedding planning.
