A romantic way to stay dry

Say goodbye to jarred elbows and soaked shoulders. Reader Teaqa pointed me toward this silly but ultimately useful gift for newly engaged or newly married couples: The double umbrella. I can’t tell you how many times The Beard and I have jockeyed for position under a largish yet still inadequate umbrella. I think this umbrella, which opens to a generous 44 x 36 x 24″ and is available here, would make a lovely engagement or shower gift, particularly for those brides and grooms living in rainy climes.

For those couples who want to stay dry but are afraid of the looks they receive while carrying the two-for-one umbrella, there is always the gigantic GustBuster Gold golf umbrella. It’s more than big enough for two.

About Christa Terry: Christa Terry is a writer and wedding and lifestyle expert whose book iDo: Planning Your Wedding with Nothing But ‘Net is a one-stop planning resource for modern, free-thinking brides and grooms.

    I think it’s adorable, but I’m not sure quite how it works – what does it look like when it’s folded?!?

    As for the folding scheme, Style Graduate, you’ve got me!
