I am soooo excited!!! For all late fall brides....
I just found out from a co-worker that they are planning to extend daylight saving time by two months. Instead of it changing in late October it will now change the last weekend of November. It will also change in March I believe instead of April. The change is due to take effect this fall. Feel free to check out the article in the Wall Street Journal, here is the link...

That's not good for me 
I am having a candle-light ceremony and I don't want it to be too light in the church.

Re: I am soooo excited!!! For all late fall brides....
I heard about this on the news in brief a few months back but wasn't sure if they confirmed it yet. That's great news! Longer days during the fall months is always nice. Winter seems so long because of daylight savings!

Here is the article... I just copy and pasted it.
As a step to save energy, Congress appears poised to extend U.S. daylight-saving time for two months, starting it earlier, on the first Sunday in March, and ending it later, on the last Sunday of November.
The move was first approved in May as part of the energy bill by the House. The idea has now been agreed upon by House and Senate committee staffs, with the approval of both Republican chairmen and ranking Democrats. That means it is likely to be approved by the full House-Senate conference committee, which begins squaring the differences between the House and Senate versions of the bill this week.
Should daylight-saving time be extended by two months as a way to save energy? Participate in the Question of the Day.
Assuming the president signs the bill, the measure would take effect immediately, extending the current daylight-saving time by one month this fall.
Daylight-saving time, by requiring everyone to shift their clocks forward one hour, extends the hours of available daylight deeper into the evenings. Polls show that daylight-saving time is popular. And it has been a hallmark of summer nights, allowing families and businesses to extend their activities later -- with less need for artificial light. Currently, daylight-saving time begins at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday of April and ends at 2 a.m. on the last Sunday of October.
"The more daylight we have, the less electricity we use," said Rep. Ed Markey (D., Mass.), who co-sponsored the measure with Rep. Fred Upton (R., Mich.). The pair cited a government study that estimated the additional energy savings at the equivalent of 100,000 barrels of oil a day, or about half of 1% of the nation's daily oil consumption. Most of the energy saved, however, will be in the form of electricity because lights would be used less in the early evenings.
Some parents complain daylight-saving shifts sunlight from the mornings when kids go to school
Daylight-saving time has had its critics. Some parent groups have been opposed to it because it can mean sending children to school when it is still dark.
And the change would throw U.S. international schedules further out of synchronization with Europe, where daylight-saving time starts on the last Sunday of March. The Air Transport Association, which represents major U.S. air carriers, says the move would cost the U.S. airline industry $147 million and cause "significant disruption" in overseas passenger travel.
According to the association, U.S. airlines risk losing "slots," or established landing times at major European airports if they can't maintain existing schedules.
Although the theory of daylight-saving dates back to Benjamin Franklin, it was first used by Germany and Austria in April 1916 to conserve energy during World War I. The U.S. adopted it in March 1918, but repealed it a year later because the measure wasn't popular with rural America. Daylight-saving time was readopted from 1942 to 1945 in the U.S., where it was called "War Time." From then until 1966, when Congress attempted to standardized its use, some states used it and others didn't.
Parts of Indiana and Arizona still don't participate.

Re: I am soooo excited!!! For all late fall brides....
I hate to be the party pooper but I am NOT excited about this...I'm hoping the President does NOT sign the bill...or if he does he does NOT make it effective until NEXT YEAR!!!
This is why...I actually LOVED the idea of getting an extra hour of sleep the night before my wedding...especially being as I have to get up at 4am!!!! AND NOT TO MENTION THE MONEY WASTED on cute little wind up alarm clocks for the OOT guests as a reminder to "turn the clocks back an hour".
I HATE CONGRESS!!! BOOHOO NO WHOO HOOS HERE!!!

Re: I am soooo excited!!! For all late fall brides....
I heard it is looking like he is going to sign it. I really hope so... I would love extra time for pics!
And for anti-bride that would include you too! I am getting married the same day and the clocks would be turning back the next night (Saturday, November 26th 2:00am so technically the early morning hours of Sunday,November 27th) We just make the cut. 
I really hope Bush signs it!!
