Read the following passage carefully. Which sentence foreshadows that the wedding will not go as planned?
Joe and Jill had been planning their wedding for months. In the weeks leading up the big day, they had checked the weather forecast obsessively to see if they would be able to get married in Jill's mother's rose garden or if they would have to move the ceremony indoors. All the forecasts said the weather would be sunny and warm, perfect for an outdoor ceremony. On the morning of the event, while Jill and her bridesmaids got ready, Joe and his groomsman set up tables and chairs in the garden. They decorated each table with a crisp white tablecloth and a vase of flowers. As they headed inside to change into their tuxedos, one of the groomsman noticed a dark cloud far off in the distance.
