Any teachers who would like to provide advice on setting a wedding date?

I'm a new teacher and I want to get married in 2009.


I'm trying to decide between these dates.....





a Saturday in June


- 4th of July


-July 11th


-Nov 7 or a similar Saturday in Nov





I have reasons why each would be good...





A June wedding





Pros: would be good because it would be in the begining of the summer. My fiancee and I have never lived on our own before. We both went to college locally and lived at home so we could save money so moving out will be a big step for us. This would give us plenty of time for me to get things ready and adjusted before I go back to work.


Con: I couldn't work summer school if it was in June. Our school district pays us extra to do summer school, 25 dollars an hour so this would be a big loss.





Jul 4 wedding -


Pros: All of the benefits of a June wedding plus we could have a fun 4th of July theme wedding with fireworks!


Plus, it would give me an excuse to wear a dress with lots of red accents.


Cons: I'm afraid people wouldn't come beAny teachers who would like to provide advice on setting a wedding date?
I teach, and I did July 10th. It was perfect for me, because I had plenty of time after school as out but before the wedding to take care of little details, and plenty of time after the wedding to have the honeymoon and get settled before going back to work.





Your sister will either get over it or she won't. She's being unbelievably childish and selfish. And I don't think your family is going to throw a party for your anniversary every year, so I fail to see how it will take the attention away from her birthday for the rest of her life.





The 4th of July would be difficult. You may end up paying more for catering, etc. because it is a holiday, and hotels may cost more (for your out of town guests). I would not have the wedding on any holiday. I also wouldn't do November just because you'll have to go right back to work. I know people do that all the time, but with a big break built into the summer, why make yourself go through that?Any teachers who would like to provide advice on setting a wedding date?
My best friend is a teacher and her wedding was in July (either 11th or 14th) and it was beautiful!





She also had the 4th theme and it was great. That would be a perfect time for you also, it sounds like!





Oh, and his sister is DEFINITELY being a selfish baby about that, is she turning 20 or 2?!?!?


What the heck? Her birthday is always going to be her birthday no matter when you guys get married. She should just be happy for ya'll! And someone should tell her now that she's turning 20 all her birthdays are probably going to be more and more disappointing as she gets older, just like for the rest of us. After about 21, less and less people celebrate with you and eventually you just let it go...
One of the teachers I worked with had her wedding in November and went on her honeymoon later. We have a week off at Thanksgiving and I think that's when she got married. They went to South Africa later that year when she was off and they had more time to enjoy themselves.





I think that would be ideal - get married at the end of spring break or when you have a week off and go on the honeymoon when you have time to enjoy it. If you get married over spring break, you have the whole week to do the last minute preparations. Then you could get married on Saturday and go someplace nearby for the night for a ';mini-honeymoon.'; During July you can take your time and enjoy your ';real'; honeymoon.





By the way, I think your sister is being incredibly immature and selfish. And you don't need an excuse to wear a dress with red accents. It's your wedding - wear whatever you want!





Whatever you decide, good luck! I wish you well in your future.
