The Date

Ok ladies, he just proposed in the most romantic way, and of course you said yes! What kind of girl wouldn’t? Now for the hard part… the planning! The first thing you should decide upon is the date. I know that you can’t set an exact date until you get closer to the month you want (for those of you who are wondering why, there are weather issues you have to watch out for during every time of the year), but the season and even the month can greatly help you plan the rest of your wedding. You want to get married in the winter? Consider sleeves (fashionable of course)! Want a summer wedding? Your bridesmaids’ dresses should probably be short. The list is endless! What I strongly believe in, however, is picking a date that is meaningful to the two of you. When was your first date? You might want to think about setting it in relation to that day. I personally am not a fan of the exact day… but what about exactly six months after? Three? It is all up to you, but I think that the more memorable the day, the more special and personal it will be for the two of you. My boyfriend and I have birthdays thirteen days apart, and if we end up together I would love to have my wedding in-between our birthdays. Maybe you have something quirky like that, or even an inside joke. Either way I strongly suggest that you make this about the two of you! Have fun with it and then move on to the other details!
