Winter because.... we had to! Only time the military could guarantee FI could be there before the next deployment. Not what I had pictured, but its growing on me.
we wanted spring. we got more of winter because that's when rabbi, the venue, and our family could all do it, and we didn't want to go too far into spring because it gets hot quick here. but i'm not too worried because our winter hopefully wont be a real winter.
We chose summer partly because of weather and family members travelling with kids (so they wouldn't miss school). The main reason though is that both of our jobs are least busy during the summer, so our bosses agreed that we could take a massive amount of time off then that we wouldn't have been able to do at other times of the year.
Southern Cal. doesn't have seasons but I couldn't pass up a Hallowedding this year.
We chose June for the Korean wedding because it's at the beginning of the university's summer vacation, and my sister will be finishing her school year in Hong Kong and flying back to Canada. We chose August for the Canadian wedding because of the time frame with the Korean wedding, and the fact that FI can tack on his 1 week of holiday/year to his 1 week honeymoon allowance in August.
Summer because my birthday is in July, I had already decided on black, white and red colors. Ruby is my birthstone as well and I didn't want Jan, Feb or Dec months which usually include red.Fall would have been ok, but nearly everyone I know got married in Nov or Dec and I wanted a different month. The month didn't matter to the FI so I got to pick
We chose the winter because neither of us can stand the heat. I'd rather freeze any day then be hot. Besides we live in the south and the winters here aren't that bad.
We chose early summer (June) because it was important to my mother that I be married in June. We weren't concerned about weather because we knew we didn't want anything outdoors, and late June worked well with everyone's school schedules.
We chose fall because it's cheaper to fly than summer and our venue was more flexible with hours after labor day. I wish we were having a summer wedding but didn't want to do it at the expense of guests traveling so September it is.
We chose early fall for a few reasons.
1. It's our (mine and the Mr.'s) favorite time of year. Candy apples, Pumpkin Spice latte's and anything cinnamon. Yum! What a great time of year.
2. We're in Vegas and boy oh boy does it get hot in the summer, freezing and windy in the winter, and well the unpredictable spring is out of the question.
3. He proposed in the fall the night before my birthday with pumpkins and so it only seemed fitting.
I would however had gone with a winter wedding after seeing some of the completely beautiful coat options to wear with dazzling winter wedding dresses. Hindsight is always 20/20 though. LOL
We chose spring. We didn't want it to be in Fall (football season), or winter (too cold) or summer (too hot). Also, Spring is my husband's favorite season and always happy and cheerful.
Summer...it was easiest because so many people from both sides of our family & friends are involved in education (as students, teachers, admin) so they have summers off.
I wanted spring, because...of all things...I wanted a rainy wedding day!
We got married in the winter, as a school teacher I was trying to plan the wedding before a break for the honeymoon. Plus its so hot in Oklahoma in the summer and winter wedding was nice.
We chose summer because FH always wanted a summer wedding. Easiest decision we made!
I had always imagined a summer wedding but we ended up choosing late winter because my brother is a green beret and is deploying in march. It was important to us that he be a part of our ceremony. I have to say, I'm so glad we went with beginning of March, despite the awfully cold weather we'll have, I can't imagine waiting even a month longer to get married! Also, we got awesome awesome deals for marrying in the off season!
I was never the type to be planning my wedding since girlhood, but for one or two little elements, and one of those was that I always knew I wanted a fall wedding. I adore fall weather, with that crisp cool dry chill that the air gets, when it's still gloriously sunny and warm during the mid-day but then the breeze blows the falling leaves in and gives you goosebumps and wafts in the smell of woodsmoke from someone's fireplace and you just breathe deep and the sudden freshness of the air fills your lungs... Guess what, we're getting married in July! :D
I would never have even conceived of a July wedding for most of my life since we're from Virginia where July means 100+ degree days and high-ozone warnings from the government that children and the elderly should stay inside for fear of their health. Dripping sweat and sprinting for an air-conditioned room, not in my plans for the wedding day! But then we moved to Seattle where the concept of "seasons" has been turned on its head, there is what we'd consider practically negligible temperature variation year-round; by far the clearer indicator of seasonality is the rains. Summer is GLORIOUS in Seattle, the rain goes away and it feels like a spring day in Virginia for months on end! Hooray! (Of course, this means that everyone and their brother's dog are trying to get married in a two-month span in the entire region, so planning has to be done way, way ahead of time.)
The one caveat, of course, is that last July, one year before our wedding, Seattle experienced a historical heat wave of, yep, 100+ degree temps. Oh boy. Fingers crossed that doesn't happen again, or we may yet experience a Virginia July wedding.
PS Oh yeah, and it had to be summer anyway since my mom is an elementary school teacher and she can't get time off during the school year. :)
summer beacuse i've always dream of a summer wedding and plus i can't stand the cold!!
We chose summer for a couple of reasons:
We chose fall for a few reasons:
Spring, because we wanted to get married outside, summer is too damned hot, and I have terrible fall allergies.
We're getting married in winter, because we wanted to get married on New Year's Eve! We both loved that idea, but beyond that, I'm in medical school and the only guaranteed time I have off is a couple weeks in August and then in December. I never really wanted summer though, because dealing with the possibility of bad weather would just stress me out. I like that our ceremony and reception will be low lit, sparkly, and full of festivity!
Chose June because it's the traditional month for weddings, blessed by the Roman goddess Juno. I'm a sucker for some traditions.
Spring! We're having a May wedding because I just always pictured having a spring wedding and because, that way, I can get all my favorite flowers :).
Originally we wanted to get married in fall because we both love fall BUT the place we wanted to get married was all booked for September and October SO we went with August! It ends up working out because we have a lot of friends/family that are either teachers or are still in school.
We chose the spring because of the nice weather and because I get a week off from work, yay spring break! The summer is way too hot, and fall would be too difficult because of work and he wasn't willing to give up weekends of college football. I always like the Spring so it worked out. Only thing is that it's 4 days before his birthday.
fall - it's my fav season and i love the colors. i always knew i'd have a fall wedding
I chose September, so that I could use some of my favorite colors (warm colors- red, orange, green). I want it to be a mixture of Summer and Fall. The wedding and reception will both be outdoors and I think September is a great time of year for outdoor events.
we chose October in Socal because its usually starting to cool down from the terrible summer months, i also thought that there wouldn't be all weddings at our reception venue... however....it was a super hot October day! I think it was in the 90's and i was melting! Plus all 7 ballrooms at our venue were weddings! its was one of the busiest nights during the fall season. lol.
We chose summer because it worked out best time wise! I would have loved to get married earlier, but with family still in school everywhere, summer worked out best :)
We chose summer because we had a beach wedding. Plus he proposed on 7-7-7 so I wanted 8-8-8 to be the wedding date :)
I'll admin, it was a bit too hot for Cancun in August :P But everything was perfect!
Summer - I really don't want to get rainy and cold weather.
We chose late fall because we can't stand the heat, and we wanted to only wait a year and not try to get married earlier or wait longer than a year to get married in the spring.
Summer .... because we LOVE summer! We live at the shore and I love the beach! Plus, I am a teacher, so it's a convenient time. I really would've rather had July, but dream venues only coordinated dates in August. :( But, I'm getting used to the idea now.
