help!!!

this is a tough one. but IMO i would think that instead of having a cute looking date, i would want my brother there to share with me. but i don't know how close you are with your brother. there's no way that he could possibly get leave for that weekend for the wedding instead of waiting for being discharged?

i would talk this over with FH and figure out if money wise you should change the date and such, and if a date would be available at your hall in late august or not.

personally, i would wait, the whole number thing to me is less significant than sharing the day with my sibling.

I agree. In the larger picture it will probably mean more to you to have him there - or even to have made the attempt for him to be there - then to have a cute date.

If you can change your date to accomodate your bro then do it and if the hall is still available, if you cant change the date and nothing is available then dont

i agree, i would rather have a close family member that i love there than the date.

I would not want to have my wedding without any of my siblings or FH's siblings there to help celebrate.

However, FH is in the Marine Corps. And was able to take some leave for his brother's wedding last August. I mean thankfully he was in a nondeployable unit at that time. But I mean the Air Force is generous as well and might be able to give him leave. Especially if he is getting out in August and has leave days saved up!


FH gets out in July of 08 and we get married in Spet 08 hoping he doesnt get extended haha

I agree. I would want them to be there.

picking your date b/c its cute or cool over having your own flesh and blood at your wedding is a little silly in my eyes

Personally, I don't think much of people choosing these 'designer dates'. The significance of a date should be either one that is important to both FH and yourself, or one that is convinient for both. Family is so much more important than a stupid date, IMO. I don't know about anyone else, I am SO not impressed when people brag that their date is 'cool' because they are in number order, all the same or whatever. No offense to brides here that purposely did that. I personally wouldn't comprimise the fact that I've always wanted a July wedding for a cool date. Worry about your family, for sure. JMO -don't shoot the messenger LOL -

I agree with most others.... its just a succession of numbers, I'd want my bro there..... Dont get me wrong, 6/7/8 was also our first thought but for the money... we realized any date will do and we will always remember... Good luck with what you choose
