Thank you, David, for your photo prompt for this week’s Friday Fictioneers. I can imagine sitting in the hotel having breakfast watching torrential rain thunder down outside and thinking -it looks like another day at the indoor pool or playing cards. So much for a day on the beach-.
Check out our host Rochelle’s site and other 100 word stories HERE.

Love-Soaked Honeymoon
Olivia screamed in laughter as they dashed through the rain and fluttering confetti into the limousine. Everyone cheered from under their umbrellas.
Their photographer abandoned the garden and riverside shots instead took indoor pictures around the reception hotel’s flora.
They left promptly, only to be delayed at Gatwick before their flight took off to Antigua for ten days on hot Caribbean sandy beaches.
Constant lashing rain from the tail end of hurricane Fiona kept the newly weds tucked up in the honeymoon suite.
‘I’m sorry about the rain,’ he said.
She kissed him. ‘It’s my fault for marrying you, Noah.’
Cute last line

I love the lashing rain and the confetti and umbrellas as they ran to the car. The bride’s comment and the groom’s name tickled me. Do you think God is trying to tell them something?

If they can stand 10 days together trapped in an Antigua hotel they should be good for a lifetime. And what a great punchline!
