irrrnyLook, sorry to be a cock about this, but:
If it rains on your wedding day, that's not ironic.
If it rains on your wedding day, and you say 'turned out nice again' - THAT's irony.
The former is just unfortunate.
There's also dramatic irony, which is when the words a character says mean something different to the reader than they do for the character.
Finally there's postmodern irony, which means your interlocutor would like an electric harpoon inserted into their rectum as soon as you can conveniently manage.
