I never really wrote about how we chose our wedding date.

Originally we were thinking early October 2009, just because that was the earliest we could possibly have the wedding. Spring 2010 seemed so far away in March of 2008 and the winter was obviously out because the weather is bad.

Months later, Chris (Bryan’s brother) and Rae announced they were getting married in October. Obviously October was out. We weren’t officially engaged at that point, so October was a long shot anyway.

Summer 2010 was out because Bryan’s cousin was supposed to be getting married in Hawaii. I wasn’t all that crazy about Spring 2010, but it seemed like our only option.

Then I read a post on wedding plans about someone who was getting married in January. I was thinking about how pretty everything is in the winter and I started getting jealous until I realized that we could have a winter wedding. Why not? Sure there may be a snow storm, but there can be terrible weather any day of the year.

I did a little research and found that the first Saturday in January is the least busiest Saturday of the year for weddings. Also, it was right after New Year’s so people would be off from work the day before. We picked 1/2/2010 for a date.

As it turns out, our venue was booked for that day, but that Sunday was available and much cheaper. We had a date, we had a venue and everything has been sunshine and rainbows every since :)
