How soon is too soon?

Original post by LorinElizabeth

Hi all,

I recently became engaged to my long-time love (of 8 years). We'd like to get married on September 8, 2007.
The ONLY thing that's important to me is to get married on this date (a significant one) in my church. My parents were married in this church and I've had all my sacraments there, so needless to say, it's important to me. The catch? I called the church and they don't have a date book for 2007 to save the date. They said I have to wait until January/ February. Now, I know it seems that September 2007 is along way aways, but September is a popular month. By not having the date 'set in stone' with the church, I feel like it's difficult to go look at reception places. But at the same time, I feel like my fiance and I are going to possibly miss our chance if we find a reception place but have to wait to formally set the date with the church (which with research has repeatidly said to book the church first).
Any suggestions? I'm writing a letter to the church requesting the date even though I know they can't formally save it yet. Should I go look at reception places anyway? I'd really appreciate any suggestions/thoughts on this.
Thanks in advance and congrats to all you other soon-to-be-wed.

If you liked GW Manor, try Milleridge. They're owned by the same company.
