Monkey's wedding. Rain in the sunlight. Not sure where the idea came from, but the children in Africa always used to say it was a monkey's wedding if it rained while the sun was shining.

Oddly enough, some years ago, I did a trip to Japan and was told that there it's called a badger's wedding. Even stranger, I had just been visiting an office in Tokyo. The reception had a single flower in a vase on the desk; it was a flame lily. A flower I'll bet you've never heard of unless you came from Southern Africa. Local gardeners used to say they're impossible to domesticate. A new superlative perhaps, "unusual as a Flame Lily in Tokyo", as unexpected as a badger's wedding.
