A UK company is providing new service that will provide guaranteed rain-free weather on people's wedding day with the help of "cloud seeding" technology.
The new service, by Oliver's Travels, will charge 100,000 pounds to use chemicals to keep rain from falling and ruining weddings, the Independent reported.
The technology uses silver iodide to "seed" the clouds, the compound allows the water vapour in the clouds to condense, and then produces rain in advance of the big day.
The company's meteorologists and pilots would begin planning three weeks in advance of the wedding, forcing the clouds to rain so that the sky would be clear by the time of the date.
