Winter wedding??

Winter vs spring is simply a matter of a few months. If you have always wanted a spring wedding, then I would wait for spring. If you feel like you can’t possibly wait a few extra months, get married in December. If you have a winter wedding, just make sure it is a couple 2-3 weeks before or after Christmas. That should prevent any interference from the holiday. Best of luck to you!

Having a wedding close to Christmas is no matter so I don't think you need to poll others. Many people go to parties every weekend before and after Christmas. I would be more concerned about your personal plans: passing finals, graduating nursing school, hosting a wedding, moving to Hawaii, and passing the NCLEX all in the same month. Many wedding planning details are finalized in that last month including RSVPs, final headcount for caterer, seating, vows, attire alterations, final payments, logistics, etc.

Try to be more flexible with the timeline of your life plans (e.g. moving in before marriage) and give yourself grace and time to process all your milestones and achievements. Best wishes.

First thing: winter is off-season for weddings so some venues may be cheaper!! At least that's the case in my area - I'm getting married December 2024! I would check with VIPs (for me that was immediate family, bridal party, and grandparents). Ours is the 14th, so only 11 days before Christmas. Makes it a little hard for some of our out of town family members, since they can pretty much choose either my wedding, or Christmas to attend. But they were all ok with it!!

I really haven't had any issues with it being near the holidays.
