T his little clich may seem obvious and not worth reading, but too many of us engaged couples quickly forget the reality of our own weddings. Unless there is a parent or sibling with upcoming surgery already scheduled or a longtime planned European vacation that cannot be canceled, please pick your own Wedding Date and stick to it. Years down the road, it will be your special day to remember and not that of anyone else.
Many couples assume that they simply pick a date and everything falls into place miraculously.
This is just not the case and finding a wedding site, reception hall and photographer that can all coordinate in tandem is extremely time consuming and hair raising. So don't seek the advice of others, or heaven forbid put out a popularity poll. Just pick a date that is right for you, keeping in mind that an alternate may be required to pull off the big day, and then announce to friends and family when they can expect to celebrate with you.
