Re: how did you pick your wedding date?
FH and I chose our date (9/14) because thats the day we started dating and got engaged... It only made sense to continue the 9/14 date.

Re: how did you pick your wedding date?
I knew I wanted an October wedding. I kept saying Oct. 18, which was my Grandma's birthday. But, our RH was booked for that date, so we took the following Saturday...Oct. 25.

Re: how did you pick your wedding date?
No special reason. We knew we had to have a wedding during the off-peak season to save money so we chose February and 2/2/08 sounded cool and easy to remember lol

Re: how did you pick your wedding date?
We both wanted cooler weather and I also like how certain places are decorated for the winter.I originally was going to plan for the day my parents got married May 17th.....but the prices were much higher in May and we needed some more planning time and time to save $$$....so we pushed it to the fall.

Re: how did you pick your wedding date?
FH works schedule doesn't allow us many free weeks so the beginning of March was really the only option.

Re: how did you pick your wedding date?
Ours is on Memorial Day, FH is a Marine Corp vet (weird saying that makes him sound old) and lets face it, it was less $$ to have it that day

Re: how did you pick your wedding date?
well we started thinking about what we wanted.1. FH doesn't like the heat, so summer was out.
2. I don't like the cold, so winter times are out.
3. plus our birthdays are in the winter so we didn't want our b-days overlapping with wedding anniv.
4. that left us with fall and spring.
I REALLY wanted fall, but it's a busy time for me at work and for him.
5. So we chose spring. As we started looking we realized the price difference in a week. We had no idea. We thought we would get married in april, but after going to several places and getting major price cuts in march, we decided on march.

Re: how did you pick your wedding date?
we love the summer and my summer camp at work will be over by then. And we decided not to do Laborday weekend.Also since we picked our date we've realized how many of our relatives and friends have been married in August to a good sign!!!!!!!!!!

Re: how did you pick your wedding date?
We both love the warm weather and since a friend of ours was married that weekend last year we wishfully hoped that the weather would be the same!

Re: how did you pick your wedding date?
not sure if i answered this already - but...we LOVE the winter & the cold....and we knew we could only afford a Sunday...so we picked one before a holiday...so anyone who came could stay late & not worry about it!
