Bad Wengen weather 8 to 12 Sep - change plans?

Hi I am visiting Paris 4 to 8 Sep, Wengen (Switzerland) 8 to 12 Sep and Lucerne (Switzerland) 12 to 15 Sep on a honeymoon.

I just saw the forecasts and for the Wengen days 8 to 12 Sep it looks miserable with rain all day every day. Today is the last day I can cancel my Wengen hotel. Should I cancel and go somewhere else where weather is better. Any suggestions much appreciated. We like nature therefore we're looking forward to Wengen but don't think it's the best location given weather forecasts. Maybe can go to another nearby place in Switzerland or another nearby country (maybe even to a beach). Flying back from Zurich to London on 15 Sep evening so need to be back then. Would like to keep Lucerne booking as is as is as temperatures will still be decent in rain.

nobody from Wengen will have looked at weather forecasts this far out, the normal practise is to check the previous evening. For what it's worth the weather service I use as an indication is saying Friday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday reasonable with a good amount of sun, Saturday and Sunday mostly wet with just a little sun. Which I will take to mean as good weather more likely than bad. Which just about sums up most of central and northern europe this week.

We enjoyed a long walk along the beautiful Lauterbrunnen valley trail on a cloudy, drizzling day with a stop inside the amazing Trümmelbach falls. It was a memorable day.
