Dating For Marriage

Finding someone who is marriage worthy isn’t something that can be done overnight. Once you have found that special person, planning the date for the marriage is also challenging. Here are some things to consider when you start planning the I Do day.

Think of the Location

Having a beach wedding in December isn’t going to be a great idea unless you’re heading to the Virgin Islands. The marriage location will have a lot to do with the time of the year. A fall wedding outdoors can be beautiful, but bitter cold in some areas. These are all things to consider when planning the date.

Think of the Guests

Are you planning on getting hitched without any guests? Then great! You get to choose whatever day works for you. However, most people do want guests at the marriage day. If you plan a beautiful winter wedding the weekend before Christmas, you’re going to end up with a short RSVP list and guests that had to run around to make time for the wedding. You can still have a winter wedding theme and push the date up a month to alleviate travel issues. Also consider that with destination weddings a date well in the future is best. This will give guests time to get all their travel arrangements in order.

Avoid the Clichés

Yes, Valentines Day is all about romance. However, planning a wedding for this day is overdone, not to mention a lot more money. You can pick a date that is special to you both, such as the first time you kissed or the first date, without getting involved in cheesy clichés that everyone will hate.
