Congratulations! Only 2 months away!

I had my soon to be husband pick the day

The day we chose is the day after we met. So it will be 8 years and one day.

August is a special month for us. We started dating in August and got engaged on our anniversary. We’re not getting married on the same date as we have kids in college. We selected the earlier part of the month so nothing interfered with send offs.

Sorry to say that there's no significance to the date we chose. LOL It's certainly not the date we starting dating and made it official. Nor is it the date we got engaged. All I know is that we didn't want it in the fall or winter nor the summer so we chose spring (March 29th).

I love all things Halloween and spooky Fall fun so I knew I wanted an October wedding. The problem with that is my mom's birthday is also in October and since she has passed away I didn't want a date that was too close to her birthday or else risk it wouldn't dampen the day. I also knew I wanted it on a Saturday since our entire guest list would be flying in from out of town. We got engaged in December of 2021 and I wanted a long engagement so I enjoyed being engagement for a year and I knew I would be pushing the wedding a couple years out to allow us time for saving up, lessen the stress of planning, and to give comfortable wiggle room in selecting a date when looking for a venue.

Once I had my "must haves" I needed for the timeframe figured out (October and a comfortable distance away from my mom's birthday), I opened up the calendar, went to October and found the Saturday that fit within the parameters I had set for us. Because it was 2 years out, were able to pretty much have whatever vendor we wanted with better prices because they would give us that years rates if we were to sign.

Our is 10/31/2025 - Halloween is our favorite holiday and we just love the idea of a highly flexible dress code (i.e. allowing costumes)
