One very unique thing about our engagement is that the day that my HTB proposed we had been dating for 1, 234 days. The joke in our family is that we will have a huge celebration when we hit 5,678...ok cheesy but strange at the same time :)
My mom, The Mother of the Bride (MOB), did have plenty of suggestions as to the date that we would be married. We chose September 5th. This is the Saturday of Labor Day Weekend. Any native Atlanta resident knows that we generally have awesome weather this weekend, so we are keeping our fingers crossed for pristine weather since we are having an outdoor ceremony.
The reason that the MOB wanted this weekend is to help accommodate our large number of out of town guests. Much of our family lives on the West coast and the extra day off from work will make travel easier. The downside of this is that hotel rooms and flights tend to be a bit more expensive. To help our family with this we made sure to let them know right away that our date would fall on a holiday weekend and to start booking early.
These are some holidays to perhaps think twice about before committing...
- April Fool's Day
- Christmas
- Father's Day
- Friday the 13th
- September 11th
- Superbowl weekend (HTB would flip if I messed up his TV viewing pleasure!)
