Another Boston girl here!

I chose June 4th. I would have loved a fall wedding, especially at our outdoor venue, but September & early October were already booked! And waiting until October would have made it almost a 2 year engagement, which my husband and I just weren't feeling. We had already been living together for 2 years when we got engaged.

We got married in October.  It was a day before our dating anniversary and I didn't want to wait six more months to get married, so we rushed it to have it in October.  :P

ETA: Forgot to add the "where" part!  We just bought a house in April and we decided that we'd love to have a small intimate wedding at our home in NH!  So that's what we did.  :)

we're massachusetts/connecticut in august. we just needed it to be during a time when school was out and the month of july didn't work for our families. my friend is getting married in the fall in massachusetts. i would have loved to do that too, but our families are too far for that to have worked well.

I love the fall in New England :)

We chose the fall because I wanted to be done with nursing school, and I didn't want to wait another 6 months for the spring.  I really wanted to get married in May but we ended up with October and I can't wait!  My sister got married last Sept. in NH and the weather was PERFECT!

We chose early fall for our western MA wedding.

The weather is usually great that time of year - definitely not still "summer hot" - but you don't need to wear a coat or anything yet.

Last year on 9/25, I paid attention to the weather that day since we had already booked the wedding.  It was incredibly gorgeous, sunny, but not hot.  Just a little bit of foliage starting - but no "dirty" leaves on the ground yet.  Hoping for the same this year :)

Am I the only winter bride so far?! We're both native Bostonians, so south shore or Cape -- yes, even in winter. I'm not a warm weather lover, and the timing isn't right for us for autumn. My weddings dreams always had snow in them somewhere, so I guess that one will come true!

I think sometimes I have an alto-ego wedding planned in my head: Cape in summer, short dress, jazz quintet, clam bake. But I couldn't possibly be more thrilled about our cozy January nuptials!

I'm SO excited for my fall wedding :)  I always knew, growing up in MA, that I would have a fall wedding.  And it works out perfectly with my FI's med school schedule, which is nice.  I can't wait to work with the foliage colors and use them as free decor :)

We live in VT and we will be getting married in VT in early August.  Works out because I am a grad student.

I voted for Spring.

Though initially my FI and I were thinking a Fall wedding in MA as well and really would've loved to have it in that season.  However, for various reasons decided on Spring 2011.

Some reasons..;) my FI proposed for my 30th bday (gulp!) which was this past November.  That being a nice 'special time' for us both, it was looking to be Fall 2010 or 2011. Well, we were also in the works of getting a house and had no real idea of when the closing would be and my FI and I would be the ones paying for it, so then Fall 2010 would be too soon.  So..as days past, my FI suggested we get married 'on paper' before the house closing, but for so many reasons, I just didn't want to do that.  So, considered the idea of moving up our date to Spring...  Then finally closed on the house this January ;) and ended up with Spring 2011. 

So, changed up Fall ideas for Spring ones...and so far, it's turning out great.  (Though, am hoping to get our e-session pics. done in the Fall at least) ;) 

As for the 'where'...in regards to city/town choice- I don't really have a home town (grew up all over the place), so I was more open to having it in the same town where my FI is from. Though also b/c we bought our first home here and I think that adds a special meaning for us both (and for me to really begin to feel like I can call this place 'home') As for wedding day location - decided a hotel would be best - (having a big mix of OOT and local family/friends), this would give our guests the ease of accommodations/having the ceremony/reception in the same place. :) Plus, is most cost effective for us all around as well.

Thanks for letting me share. :) 

@BunnyBrideToBe: We're crossing our fingers for snow too! We want an outdoor ceremony (if the weather cooperates), and a layer of snow on the gound would be ideal. And, like you, we're from the area and so are our families, so the "omg SNOW!!!" reaction shouldn't be an issue.

CT girl here (FI is from MA) and we're doing October, not only is it our anniversary month but c'mon! New England in the fall no better time IMO! Leaves turning colors, crisp air, LOVE IT! :)
