Hurricanes call for wedding insurance; a few raindrops call for this Jean Paul Gaultier Guy de Jean umbrella
Chances are Hurricane Sandy isn’t disrupting your wedding. But it’s a good reminder that while wedding insurance is a smart buy for any couple, it’s super important for destination weddings, when bad weather might not just effect the site itself, but the ability of you, your family, or the majority of your guests to actually show up. (After all, what good is it if your wedding can go ahead like clockwork, but nobody’s there to join you?) It’s not a huge line item—for under $1,000, you can get a policy that covers the rescheduling of a wedding for reasons of weather, illness, injury, or problems with major vendors. If you already have insurance, ask your agent about adding a rider; otherwise contact a firm like Wed Safe or Firemans Fund. And one more thing: Nowadays, figure the cost of trip insurance into every airline ticket you buy. Think of it as the small price you pay for a good night’s sleep.
