It depends on what time of year you prefer, and what day of the week. The most popular months are: April-Oct, and most popular day is Saturday. I would say you're probably safe if you have 6-9 months to go. But, your best bet is to just contact churches and reception sites as soon as possible, especially if you're interested in a particular range of dates in the Spring and Summer months.\n\nGood luck, and have a wonderful wedding!

my wedding, including honeymoon, close to $20,000...i would not have done anything differently, but i also was lucky enough to cash in some stock to pay for it...i would suggest you find out what your budget is, whether it be $500 or $50,000 and stick to it...this is the person you love, getting married doesn't need to be expensive...also, make sure to eat, the day goes by so fast you'll forget and make sure to take it all in, afterwards it'll feel like it didn't even happen

Let it go... Don't bug him about a 3 mth anniversary.. You can do that if you get married to him, but not while dating. You'll just scare him away if you annoy him with this!!

It's absolutely possible to plan a wedding in 10 months.  I planned mine in 11 months from across the continent!  We invited around 150 people.  Make sure you look into a photographer 1st and then book the reception site and church.  Since you're having an October wedding, you should be fine with availability.  Ours is in Jan, and we've found that most vendors (florists, caterers, etc...) aren't booked up in the "off-season" like they would be April-September.  Websites like www.wedding channel.com and www.theknot.com are very helpful in planning and budgeting.  Good luck and have fun!!

1. For a unique party favor my groom and I are giving out lottery tickets. Only $1 each.. I will have a note in the program stating the tickets were chosen because we are so lucky to have our family and friends with us on our wedding day.\nI will also add a line that all winnings will need to be split with the bride and groom!\n\n 2. Instead of having an ordinary guestbook, that you hardly will look at again, I am going to create a photo guest book.  My guestbook attendants will take polaroids of each guest... either individually or in a group, however they come, and put it on the pages of the guestbook/scrapbook.  The guests will then sign on the bottom of their picture.  My fiance and I will then have a photo album of all the guests at our wedding! :) GST\n\n3. We are getting married next year and instead of the traditional wedding we have decided to go with a "rock-n-roll" theme. We are going to have records displayed around the hall with our names on them and a picture of the two of us. Our colors are navy blue, black and silver so there will be plenty of those colors…from the silver glitter on the black tables cloths to the silver spray painted roses.\n\n 4. Since this is a second marriage and there are children that will be blended into a new family, we are decorating the tables at the reception with photo trees holding photos of my future husband and I and our children doing things together. We feel it shows that this marriage is not the union of just two people, but the formation of a new family.\n\n5. We had a shortage of single men and women invited to our wedding, most of our friends and family were already married.  So we needed to come up with something different to replace the traditional bouquet and garter throwing.  We invited everyone to the dance floor and the dj played several lovely, slow songs.  First the dj told all couples married two hours or less to sit down (everyone got a kick out of that).  Then a few moments later, any married a year or less, than five years, ten years and so on, until there was only one couple left.  They were neighbors and friends of my family and had been married for fifty years.  We asked them to stay on the dance floor while I took a seat and my husband made a big show of removing my garter.  We then faced the winning couple, congratulated them on their fifty years and asked them for their best marriage advice as we presented them with the bouquet and garter.  They were very touched and it gave us a great feeling too.

Well that all depends on if you want your family and friends there. Ask yourselves these questions... \n1. Can we afford to pay for our friends and family to come?\n2. Can our friends and family afford to pay to come to our wedding?\n3. Do I REALLY want to get married somewhere else?\n4. Should we just elope and have a reception for everyone when we get home?\n\nIf that is what you want than go ahead and do it. Just explain to everyone why you want to do it. You only get married once and you should have it the way you want so you always remember this special time.

Can family help you with some of the plans? Maybe a sibling can do parts of it for you:) Just Kidding. Anyway, assuming that this isn't go to be right away. Make a list of stuff you have to do/plan, then make a list of the people who you want to come. Once you have the list of stuff you have to get done, separate it into groups, from stressful to less stressful, put the most stressful first or were ever you would want it then so on. Put a little bit of each thing to do in a month.\n\nExample\n\nJuly:\n\nCall 4 flower arrangement\nGet dress from David's Bridal\nSend out invitations.\n\nAugust:\n\nLeave at 4 to pick up something.\nMake setting arrangements\nYou get the point right.\n\nThat away you not trying to do everything at once. Less stress and you get everything done in time for the big day.\nCongratulations:) Good Luck:)

Oh my gosh!  How beautiful IS THAT going to be :-D!!\nThe leaves will just be changing....BREATHTAKING!\nIdeas?  Hu, well, if you haven't picked our colors yet I would go with brown and yellows or reds and oranges to of-course accent the changing seasons.\nInstead of flower pedals, the flower girl could sprinkle dried fallen oak leaves down the "isle".\nBeautiful white chairs on eather side of the isle with lots of white tuddle ( that see thew stuff)with the wedding colors accented with bows.\nI see the bridesmaids in a strapless gowns with shawls to keep out the cold.  I am going back to the yellows, oranges, golds, reds and browns.  How would black tuxes, black shirts w/ gold ties be...ooh!  and then have your hubby-to-be have a white shirt.\nor a theme of "cow-boy" could be cute, then you can do the hay-bales for seats and keep with the red and gold them.  Have a pig roast and the dance in the barn.  YEEEHAAA!

Well, hopefully she will become your wife and you will live happily ever after.  Wasn't that the goal when you proposed to her?  If you are having some doubts, I'd suggest a serious conversation with your fiancee rather than asking a bunch of strangers here.  I hope that it all goes well!

Get a coordinator local to the area you are getting married in to help.  Typicall the Day Of Packages include final vendors confirmations, which it sounds like you need for some piece of mind, as well as coordination of your rehearsal and running the day of your wedding to ensure things are running in a timely manner and nothing is overlooked.  \n\nMy company covers all of Southern California and that is what is included in our package and if it isnt offered you should be able to customize a package with a coordinator that includes what you do need help with.  Good luck!
