dates.....

Re: dates.....

ours was based on our desire to have a winter wedding, December having to many birthdays and holidays, and february getting to expensive for flowers. We chose the 17th, the Sunday of MLK weekend, so OOT guests could fly in on Saturday and out on Monday and not miss work or school

Re: dates.....

nothing special about the date. we jsut knew we wanted july 2010 because we wanted to save and needed a summer date because we are both teachers so we looked at the calander and picked

Re: dates.....

we did it because to have a saturday evening in the summer was way too expensive, so we worked around my school vacations (i'm a teacher) and FH's school schedule (he's still in grad school). it is also close to our dating anniversary. i really wanted a sat wedding because i have a lot of OOT guests.

Re: dates.....

With FH's working/racing schedule we only had a window of Jan-March to have the Wedding and go for a honeymoon. I really wanted to do NYE wedding but it would have been way too expensive, so i chose the Jan. 2nd which works out even better because its my favorite aunts wedding date and her husband is going to be the one that is walking me down the aisle to give me away

Re: dates.....

We wanted a spring wedding and loved the ring to 5/15/10

Re: dates.....

well we chose this date because its around our anniversary and 2 days after fh's bday

Re: dates.....

i wanted to get married on my parents anniversary 10/10...and it just so happened we were looking for 2010...thats how 10/10/10 came around...the date was absolutely unintentional, but it is cool how it worked out

Re: dates.....

well we knew that we wanted an october wedding. and the first place we went to said they had 10/1/10 open so we really liked that date, so we stuck with it.

Re: dates.....

I always wanted a summer wedding. And summer works best for me anyway because I won't be running my focus groups and I won't be in school. Everything else just fell in place as we signed our contract. We went from wanting a saturday wedding, to being pretty much set on a friday wedding, and then totally changing to a thursday wedding. 7/22/2010...sounds like a perfect day to get married to me!

Re: dates.....

we are still trying to decide. but its between april, may & september

Re: dates.....

Re: dates.....

really wanted end of May but everything got so pricey so we decided to go for April 30, 2010 its as close to May as we can get without getting crazy with our budget. I like it. Its a friday we might even make a weekend out of it. Not sure yet

Re: dates.....

i chose june because i really wanted a june wedding but didnt think i could afford it at first... the RH worked w/ me and then i just picked a date in the middle of the month!

Re: dates.....

we both wanted May. And we booked May originally. But we headed to the RH on the day we were going to get married on and We didnt like how the flowers werent in full full bloom. So we chose July.

Re: dates.....

When we first got engaged we both knew we wanted a summer wedding. June was kind of difficult for us with graduations and such so we went for July. I wanted it in the beginning of July before it got unbearably hot, but FH didn't want the 4th bc it's a holiday and the 17th is my parent's wedding anniversary so the 10th it was!

Re: dates.....

I wanted to do our anniversary which is 4/15 but April is such an iffy month when it comes to weather and an outdoor ceremony is important to us.

So we decided to go with 9/5. It's the first week of September (also labor day weekend) and it usually has good weather *crosses fingers*

Re: dates.....

I would have loved to do our dating anniv (9/1) but it was the Mon of labor day weekend so it wasn't the greatest timing.

Our date picked us

I'm a law student and we wanted to do a honeymoon so it left winter break, beginning of summer or end of summer. Ruled out winter because I hate the cold and we had a lot of OOTers coming, and I picked Aug because I liked the symmetry of 08/___/08 and didn't want to get married RIGHT after finishing exams. Plus, it was very close to our old anniv.

My last day of my summer job was 8/8/08 (my birthday!) and classes started up on 8/25. The best weekend was the one in the middle (8/15, 8/16, 8/17) because it left me one week off to fly back to NY and do last minute details, the wedding, and then one week for our honeymoon.

Jewish brides aren't supposed to get married on Shabbat which is Fri sundown until Sat sundown, so that ruled out 8/15 or 8/16 until sundown. Didn't want to pay extra for a Sat night wedding if the ceremony wouldn't start until 8pm or later (and then have a lot of people leave early) so we did Sunday afternoon instead. Worked out great!

Re: dates.....

No special reason just kind of picked March.
