OED: "monkey's wedding"

[Wilson Gray]

"en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Sunshower

In the United States, particularly in the South, a sunshower is said
to show that _'the devil is beating his wife'_, because he is angry
that God has created a beautiful day."

Word.

OTOH, this is the first time that I've ever encountered either
"sunshower" or "monkey's wedding." Somehow, I *am* familiar with
"snowshower," for which, needless to say, I know of no Southern
equivalent.
