The Date

I forgot to mention that we set a date for the wedding. Joe didn’t really care what date we chose, but I’m a woman, so choosing a date is actually a science where many calculations are involved.

For instance, I didn’t want us sharing our special day with anyone we know, so any date of significance for our family members or friends was off-limits (don’t even tell me you have something special on the date we chose, or I will kill you, I swear it!). We can’t possibly get married on a day of the month which may have had some importance in any of our past relationships either, you know. That would spell doom for sure! Once you start factoring in all of the “rules”, several months get eliminated altogether (like the month of May as my ex and my parents both got married in that month).

When all was said and done, we ended up with September and October to choose from. Based on weather patterns and crowds in the Orlando area, we decided to take our trip from the end of October through the beginning of November. Since I’m not overtly fond of November, we decided we needed a date in October. Of course, we can’t get married too close to Halloween, and certain days of the week weren’t even considered, particularly Monday as it’s the suckiest day of the week.

So we (and by we, of course I mean me) came up with Tuesday, October 25th. I added a countdown to the sidebar so you can watch us creep closer and closer to the day where we lose our freedom. ;)
