Still Pondering Dates

I'm leaning towards Saturday, April 18, 2009 or Sunday, October 18, 2009.

April 2009 Pros:
  • Only 9 months away
  • Springtime in VA - need I say more?
  • I could use colors of light blue, black, and ivory (another color option)
  • Off tourist season which means wed/recpt site won't be as expensive
April 2009 Cons:
  • Only 9 months away (not much time for DIY'ing for a DIY novice but doable)
  • Very close to Easter and in the middle of school of vacations and that's something to think about here in this all-year tourist town
  • It's a Saturday which is a prime day for tying the knot and more expensive


October 2009 Pros:
  • 15 months away (plenty of time for this DIY novice to DIY whatever I want to tackle)
  • Far enough away that I can pay for things as they come along and I can get on a payment plan if I choose Fort Magruder/Crown Plaza as my site
  • Autumn in VA is just gorgeous
  • I could use colors of crimson (JR's fav), gold, and ivory
  • It's a Sunday and that means lower rates at the wed/recpt site
October 2009 Cons:
  • It seems like it is so far away

I'll talk to JR about it this weekend. We're thinking about going down to Virginia Beach to spend the day at the Virginia Aquarium. Heehee - now wouldn't THAT be a fun place for a fantasy wedding
