Hi all! My FH proposed to me last week (ahhh!!) and we're starting to plan our wedding. But we've already run into an issue.
We know we want an indoor, winter wedding. But actually figuring out a date is proving tricky. First of all, do we settle on a date and then try to find a venue that's available, pick one or two dates then pick based on availability, or should we start looking for a venue without an approximate date and go from there?
There are a few dates I'm considering:
- February 15th, 2024. 02/15 was my grandparents' wedding date. My grandma passed away a few years ago and I thought it could be a nice way to honor her. I thought about her birthday but it's not in winter. Plus in the midwest February has been more solidly "winter" these last few years, as snow has started later and later.
- First week of December, 2023. My heart is telling me I want a December wedding, but it's right after Thanksgiving! And Christmas is just around the corner! Plus, I don't know if I want a traditional Saturday wedding for the few OOT guests we're inviting, or if we should save our money and have a weekday wedding! Ahh!
- March 2nd, 2024. Exactly two years after he proposed, it felt fitting, but that's moving out of winter and into spring. But maybe having a wedding further from holidays will mean people get time off easier?
Idk what to do!!! Any advice is helpful. Thank you!
