WA-1---emotion

When the hurricane swept over the place where my uncle was supposed to be getting married last weekend there was uneasiness and disappointment in the air. My grandmother was worried about the money that she thought was going to be lost but also about the couple's happiness. When the day finally came rain made it look like someone was repeatedly throwing buckets of water at the windows. The rain was pouring down making even the bravest of us think twice about going outside. A couple hours before the rain was still pouring down hard but the decision was to have the service outside anyway. The rain eventually thinned out a little making the sky bright gray and the reflection of the clouds on the river was truly beautiful. There was just a light sprinkling of rain as the marriage ceremony was being held and that kept it cooler underneath the tent where dinner was served afterwards. When dinner had ended there was dancing and a live and of music. As it got dark the rain completely stopped and the grass had dried off a little and the vibrant colors of pink red and orange spewed across the sky as the sun settled down into the horizon. As i watched the sun go down behind the trees the only thing i could think of it that everything was right with this moment and everything was completely beautiful.

Try to clean up some of your sentences. Here is an example. You're sentence: "When the day finally came rain made it look like someone was repeatedly throwing buckets of water at the windows."

Cleaned up sentence:When the day finally came, it looked like someone was throwing buckets of water at the windows.

"A couple hours before ..." Before what? The wedding? It is unclear.

Do you mean "live band" here: "there was dancing and a live and of music."

I'm not feeling the emotion until the very end.
