Was poking my nose in to check on the packages thread and the title of this one had me thinking something wedding-like, and what do you know, I was right! So congratulations to you both! As far as picking a date, consider whether or not you want an outdoor wedding and then consider those you're inviting as well as where you want to go for a honeymoon. If you've got a lot of people coming in from out of town, or if you're doing a destination wedding, I'd recommend summer when people are more inclined to get time off. Also, I'd recommend summer if you're doing an outdoor wedding there in Chicago. (Conversely, if you're doing an outdoor wedding in a hotter climate, I'd recommend October or November.) Think about the seasons of where you're considering honeymooning at. We went on a Caribbean cruise, and thank God we did it in November and not the too-hot summer. Of course, Belize was still sweltering, but July would've been murder. I also like what Beth said about dates when family got married. My anniversary resides exactly 30 days after my in-laws' and 30 days before my parents'. We knew we wanted November, and that just helped us pick the date. 10/10/10 is cute, but I'm going to go against the masses here and advise against it. I'll tell you why. Because it's going to be a much sought after date, the prices of venues, flowers, cakes, etc, etc, will go up due to the demand. Also, the availability will be limited. Found that out from a friend who got married on 07/07/07.

Congratulations and all the best to the future newlyweds! ;D
My cousin got married on 08/08/08 and I can vouch for ending up with the crappy venue and a worst priest... But they were happy.

If this were 2006, I'd be so amused to look at the suggestions [/slight derail]

Heh, I talked to him about the 10/10/10 thing. He just shook his head and laughed. Oddly, if we wanted to do it the day we got together, it would be 10/31/10 or 10/31/11, it all depends on how fast we can get up the cash and what not.
