“When are you getting married?!”
This may be the most annoying question on the face of the earth, well until you are married.. once you are married the most annoying question on the face of the earth quickly becomes,
“So when are you having kids?!”
Once you are engaged everyone wants to know when the big day will be. If you are anything like Austin and me, your response will be something along the lines of, “No idea.” For quite a while. I was just trying to figure out where exactly I was going in my career path, was I going to go find a job or take the leap and start photography full time, and my Austin was at a turning point in his career too. We wanted to wait to see where life would take us before we decided on a wedding.
A couple of months rolled past and we finally decided we wanted to get married that same year, since it was already June we had to act fast and start getting things lined up.
The exact date for our wedding wasn’t super important to us, we figured it would have to be in November due to time and it couldn’t be the first weekend, that was opening weekend of deer season. We also knew it couldn’t be the weekend of the 15th because that was my birthday. It looked like November 9th would be our best bet if we could find the date available at a venue we loved.
I have found over the years that brides pick their dates for different reasons.
1. The day the met/first kiss/started dating, you get the point.
2. Holidays, often times people will plan their wedding around holidays for the ease of relatives being able to attend especially if they have many out of state guests.
3. Cool dates. Hows 12/13/14 for an awesome anniversary?
4. Seasons. Do you have a specific look in mind for your wedding? A soft bright colored wedding may be best for the spring, where warm tones may be best for a fall wedding.
