FH just sprung a doozy on me...

He has decided he would like to aim for Feb/March 2014
We have EVERYTHING booked--just not yet paid for in full. We have vendors who are in pretty high demand and I'm scared we wont be able to get them for any dates in those two months. I don't have a dress, no BM dresses yet.
Futhermore, having it in November gave us a lot more time to pay everything off.
He thinks if we get married sooner, we can buy a house sooner. I'm officially bugging out. What would you do? Call all vendors and see if they have availability, or just stick to the date we have booked?
I also just realized this means a change in color scheme too, flowers. OMG

WOW! Talk about a doozy!!! If it were me, I would probably stick with the original date. In the gradn scheme of things, 6-8 months is not a huge amount of time to wait (in terms of buying a house). It will cause you so many headaches to call all the vendors, rethink your color scheme and overall theme, and adjusting to now having a wedding less than a year away! AH!

I would call the vendors just to see if the are available, if they aren't then there's your answer. As for color scheme I'm not one of those people who this you can only use certain colors certain parts of the year.

Wowza, that's a big one. I think it will really be hard to get your vendors all on the same day for a March wedding. My friend just started planning for March next year and is already having a hard time getting some vendors. I think contact them all and see what they say.

AH!!! Honestly, I would see if it could be done. I would love to be Mrs. sooner!

this!

I told him it's definitely not happening. I just had a serious panic attack just THINKING about it!! It can wait. I don't even know why I considered it for a millisecond. I feel so much better. I couldn't breathe thinking about all of the changes we would have to make!!

FH just sprung a doozy on me...

I will be honest, March may be difficult. It has become a pretty popular month. When we were looking in Feb, we wanted March or November and alot of places were booked. Thats why we ended up planning a wedding in 9 months LOL. But I wouldn't change it because I wouldn't want to wait almost 2 years to get married! So its really up to you.

This!! I would wait until November like you planned.. You'll have that extra time to save money

Oh mannnnnnn crazy

FH just sprung a doozy on me...

I think you made the right decision to stick with the original date. It's too much of a hassle and, honestly, you can still house-hunt! FH and I are doing so and are hoping to have a house to move into right after the honeymoon!

FH just sprung a doozy on me...

I would call each vendor, and if they all have availability for the same date in Feb/March that you want, then there's no reason not to change the date. If most of the vendors aren't available on the same date, I wouldn't change the date because you are going to lose all of those deposits

FH just sprung a doozy on me...

If you really do want to change it, Feb would be a lot easier than March. But I get where you're coming from. When I was looking for venues, I was asked a few times if I was interested in Dec of 2013 to save some money (since they want to fill up the empty dates). Just the thought of planning a wedding in under a year made my upper lip start sweating!
