They came from far too - across country! We even had ours on a Sunday! People who love you and want to come to your wedding will make it work - I promise! I wanted ours in April or May but since some groomsmen would still be in law/grad school potentially having finals we chose June. We only got our venue if we chose a Sunday so we agreed! It was miserablly hot & humid but it worked. We got married on the 13th so we'll have an anniversary on Friday the 13th some year!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05863922140818264044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730869259900917297.post-90930204601152974082011-06-02T11:06:15.503-05:002011-06-02T11:06:15.503-05:00I don't think we put that much thought into ou...I don't think we put that much thought into our wedding date.

I know that we had a window of about a month to choose and I wanted to choose a weekend that would accomodate the most people. Since a lot of our friends were still in college, we chose April 26 because we knew it was before finals and everyone would still be in town but not be studying like crazy! Man that was a loooong time ago. <br /><br />Congrats on setting a date!Wizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00644823361645142518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730869259900917297.post-84783900708446873832011-06-02T00:36:18.591-05:002011-06-02T00:36:18.591-05:00Too funny!

Romantic huh? <br /><br />A year is plenty of time to plan a wedding! You'll be so glad you decided to do that once you get into the thick of things. Everyone gets to a point where you just want to be married already! :-)Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04138050246830502228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730869259900917297.post-69197916339433084192011-06-01T20:36:59.084-05:002011-06-01T20:36:59.084-05:00That is exciting!

I thikn that is a good holiday weekend to get married because it's not like it's a HUGE holiday where peole have long standing plans/traditions with family, etc. I don't really love it when people get married around times like Thanksgiving, etc. But Labor Day - that is a good idea!Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730869259900917297.post-85932262873292515372011-06-01T20:14:20.665-05:002011-06-01T20:14:20.665-05:00Also I think it's funny that LSU games didn...Also I think it's funny that LSU games didn't figure into your date calculations. Thats what i hear from most brides in south la. If theres a game that night, be sure to have a tv tuned to the game!

While my mom pushed for a spring wedding, i knew the venue and church would be decorated for christmas ( so my flower budget was minimal). I needed at least a year to save up money for the wedding, so I chose the weekend after Christmas 2007. December 29th happened to be my grandparents anniversary and they were married over 50 years! So I figured that was a good sign and booked it. Plus I was able to take minimal amount of vacation hrs from work bc of the holiday pay.AKinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08233101297438213787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730869259900917297.post-43045061439478089952011-06-01T18:12:05.102-05:002011-06-01T18:12:05.102-05:00We wanted to get married outdoors so we knew we ne...We wanted to get married outdoors so we knew we needed a summer date. July has the least chance of rain and I picked a random weekend in July. It turned out it was our officant's son's birthday but he was cool with sharing the date. <br />The bigger the group of people the higher the chance you'll pick someone's birthday or wedding.<br />We planned our wedding in 13 months which I felt was just right. I did some DIY. A coworker planned her wedding in 5 months but she didn't do much herself.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14004178422343485278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730869259900917297.post-19355137520044359002011-06-01T18:00:08.208-05:002011-06-01T18:00:08.208-05:00Hahahaha I love this.

I actually wanted a fall wedding, Eric and my mom did not for various reasons (it gets cold here early, it snows up north (where a lot of family would be driving from early) etc.) and I really didn't care THAT much so it was decided we'd have a summer date. <br /><br />Then I picked our venue and when we discovered every Saturday was already booked and we would have a week-day wedding I knew it would have to be July or August so kids wouldn't be in school. Eric's cousin and sister were both married in August, so July it was. 9 is my lucky number, so I picked July 9 and it just happened to fall on a Monday, which worked out perfectly because we didn't want a wedding right in the middle of the week. Voila! Haha. <br /><br />I'm SO GLAD we are doing a weekday wedding now. Our resort is going to be less busy. It's going to be more cost-effective for guests because hotels are cheaper and it's been easy to book vendors because it's not a weekend! <br /><br />Congrats on picking your date, I feel like that makes it all so much more real!!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05185652640389232120noreply@blogger.com
