UPDATED: Torturing my Life-sorry def long have patience with me please lol
Original post by Jenna_and_John
So, I have mentioned before how I'm obsessed with even numbers and the number 2. I have always wanted to get married on the first Saturday in October, still warmer but still Fall. So, when FH and I agreed on 2010 as the year for the wedding I was thrilled to see that the first Saturday in October was the socond, 10-2-10, awesome lol! So as we look for halls in AUGUST OF 2008 lol, every one we look at out of the 6 we saw had the date open except for Jericho Terrace which ended up being the place we really wanted. Keeping with the fact that we wanted the first weekend in October, we agreed to Friday, October 1st. Now, I thought I'd get over not having the date I always wanted. However, it did still bother me every now and then and then this Saturday a situation caused my breakdown lol. (Keep in mind this post is serious yet still me laughing bc I am well aware it is not the end of the world, just me being anal and a bridezilla and needing to vent aka thanks for reading!).
So I go to the tailor to get a dress altered and I ask if he alters wedding gowns, he says yes and asks when my wedding is. I tell him October 1, 2010 and bc God likes to torture my life, the tailor tells me that his daughter's wedding is October 2, 2010. I wanted to cry right there. I explain how that was my dream date yadayada, but it was booked. Then I go to my workout class to try and feel better but still don't when I get out. Call JT just to double check that the second is booked and it is. The only Saturday opened in October is the 16th. Because now I'm obsessing over if it should be a Saturday, since that was what we originally planned. I'm concerned about work friends, etc. I know it's the same, those who care will be there. But I'm still obsessing bc I'd like everyone there but the ceremony is at 3 cocktail hour at 7. We're doing the VH so we don't want to start the reception later. FH thinks I'm absolutely insane at this point and doesn't want to hear it. I guess I just needed to vent about my internal struggle. The negative Friday comments from people also don't help the situation but whatever. Sorry to bore you with the lengthiness of this post blahhh.
So, am I crazy for considering to change the date to October 16th?? FH's birthday is also the 15th if that matters at all. We also already bought save the dates for October 1, they wouldn't break the bank to redo, just thought it's something that should be mentioned.
I'm posting this bc I've been discussing it with work friends and my other close friends but what better group of people to discuss it with than other brides who may understand a little better.
UPDATED AT THE BOTTOM SORRY!

I am having second thoughts about the date of my wedding too. You should check to see if your other vendors are available on the 16th. You dont want to lose your amazing vendors by changing the date (or your deposits). Places might charge more for a Sat night so its also something else to think about. There are pros and cons to friday and sat night weddings. And dont let people complaining about the time of the ceremony get to you. People will ALWAYS find something to complain about. (I am getting crap because the ceremony is not starting until 730.ANd will not be over until 1 am. )
I love even numbers. And originally planned on getting married on Oct 16 2010 actually. However, the place we fell in love with was booked so we had to change the date. I definitely understand your dilemma. I am having doubts about my date now also. The problem is that everyone I know seems to get married in Oct. And the 16th was the only saturday in Oct that wasnt someone else's anniversary. So now we are sharing the anniversary of FH's brother. I know only a few people will know but I am kind of upset to share my date.

ITA with gloria ... just think by the time the 2nd comes ... ullalready be married to the man u love .. as opposed to the 16 th ... its way after ur dream....
and 10-01-10 is cool ... u have all the same #'s in there .. dont stress ull be fine
ITA - but, in the end it is your wedding and you have to do what makes you happy. But...don't forget that a Sat wedding will be more expensive then a Fri wedding. Also...you would have to make sure all of the vendors that you alreayd booked would be available on the new date as well.... Dont worry - I think we all (at least I do!) stress about weird stuff. Take a deep breath - it'll work out!

Re: Torturing my Life-sorry def long have patience with me please lol
Ok I TOTALLY understand.
I am not superstitious, I don't believe in luck, etc. etc. etc. but I am OBSESSED with the number 3. Every significant date in my life and in FH's life is either divisible by 3 or has a 3 in it. If our wedding date does not have one of these items, I'm probably going to torture myself.
If you're wedding is going to go past 11:59PM, I'd say stick with the 1st because then technically, it will partially be on the 2nd.
If not, and you feel you really want the Saturday, then change it and go with it. But don't change it just because of people. NO matter what date/day/time you pick, someone will have an issue, because complaining is what people love to do.

UPDATE: So today's QOTD reminded of how long I have wanted the first weekend in October (you can check out my answer there). I know that my reasoning when I was younger was silly but it just goes to show how long I have had that weekend in mind, that to me is enough to keep it the way it is. I appreciate so much everyone's comments and opinions. I could tell as I'd read one that said to keep it for October 1st my gut feeling was happy, so I think it's meant to be this way. Thank you again for even bothering to read let alone to comment, your opinions all mean so much!

Keep it oct 1 since you are a later int he day wedding, maybe something else IMPORTANT will happen at the stroke of midnight (hee; if you know what I mean).
I get you b/c my lucky number is my wedding date. Not planned, it's all they had!!!!!!!!!!! So I saw it as an omen.
