天要下雨，娘要嫁人

tian yao xia yu, niang yao jia ren: A girl was speaking with her mother, trying to decide on a suitable day to be married. They consulted the almanac, considering her year of birth and zodiac sign, the groom's sign, and most importantly, the history of weather on different days of the year. "No one wants a rainy day for their wedding," said the girl. "You have just as much chance of controlling the weather as controlling a herd of charging yaks. When a lady wants to marry, she'll marry, and when the sky wants to rain, it'll rain."
