A San Canzian Wedding: Rain, Sunshine, and Love in Istria
Outdoor weddings always come with a bit of a gamble, but when you wake up on the wedding day and it’s been pouring rain all night and still is...it’s hard not to worry. That’s exactly how this day started at San Canzian, one of the most stunning wedding venues in Istria, where a beautiful Swiss couple had gathered with their closest loved ones to celebrate their love.
The rain had been relentless through the night, and the morning gave no sign of stopping. Dark, heavy clouds hung over the sky, making it clear that the outdoor wedding they had dreamed of might not happen. We were already making peace with Plan B, preparing to move everything indoors.
And then...magic happened.
Out of nowhere, in a split second, the clouds simply vanished. The sky opened up, and the sun bathed San Canzian in golden light. It felt surreal—just moments ago, we were watching the rain pour down, and now it was as if it had never happened. The air was fresh, the greenery glowed, and the whole place was alive with warmth.
Despite the sudden change in weather, the ceremony and dinner remained indoors as planned. But it didn’t matter, the atmosphere was incredible. The love, the joy, the sound of glasses clinking with fine Istrian wine, and the laughter of friends and family filled every corner of the venue.
Sometimes, the unexpected twists make a wedding even more memorable. This day was proof that no matter the forecast, love always finds a way to shine.
And these photos? They say it all.
