No joke, it apparently started raining right when they started speaking. And this wasn't just one high school. Centennial High School and Franklin High School held their graduation ceremonies Thursday night as a torrential downpour turned the football fields into a water park of sorts.

From WSMV 4 in Nashville:

In a statement, Williamson County School Superintendent Jason Golden said the district knows the rain made the graduations at Centennial and Franklin challenging, and the district appreciates the patience of families. He said many schools choose to hold ceremonies on football fields because students and families have shared how meaningful it is to celebrate the milestone on campus, and it allows more loved ones to attend.

'Based on forecasts and radar, we expected to complete last night's ceremonies at Centennial and Franklin before the next wave of rain began, but unfortunately, changing conditions brought rain during the events,' Golden said. 'While the rain impacted those two ceremonies, it could not diminish our pride in our Centennial and Franklin graduates.'

Families are upset, some now calling for a redo, with plans for dry photo sessions on the football field later.

Regardless, this will be a memory never forgotten by these students. They made it through finals, standardized tests, and whatever else the last four years threw at them - and then they had to endure this!

These kids have bright futures, or at least it's, like, good luck or something for it to rain on your graduation day. Nah, I'm making that up to be nice ...

Redo the graduation ceremonies for both of these schools!

🤣🤣🤣
