Wedding 2011: The Date has been Set
So after the proposal, and acceptance of that proposal, was announced everyone asked us when we were getting married. "When is the big day?" "When will you get married?" were questions we were asked every time we told people about our engagement.
We speculated that we would possibly get married in May 2010. We had reasoned that we were supposed to be going on a family vacation to Mexico for my mothers birthday, so while we were down there we may as well get married too. That way we would "kill two birds with one stone", and not force two trips on my family in one year. (We are very conscientious of others) With all that has gone on this year we haven't been able to get those plans set up. And now it felt like May of this year was way to close so we needed more time.
I will admit that I am a micro-manager. I like to know everything that is going on and have all my plans made and confirmed. I like to give people ample time to prepare for big trips as well, so we needed a new date.
We tossed around a couple other dates, like October 10, 2010.... 10/10/10. Then we thought maybe in December sometime. We would still go to Mexico if it was in December. I do NOT want to get married in the snow. Then we considered August 2011. No real reason for August except it's the same month we got engaged in and it seemed like a good idea. We talked with our families and after considering what would work out best for everyone we picked a date.
We decided that August 2011 would be the best time, then Adrian and had to pick an actual date. We finally picked August 15, 2011.
August 15, 2011 is a Monday. The reason we picked to get married on a Monday is two fold, one it's cheaper, and two it would allow people time to travel down on the weekend before the wedding. Especially if people wanted to drive down. So that is the Date and Location. Oh we tossed out Mexico because it would be so hot down there in August. We decided we didn't need to go there in August it would be much more enjoyable to go there later on in the winter.
