Why 9/20/08?

Choosing our wedding date was a process of elimination, really.

• It couldn't be during any month when there was a chance of snow, since we'll have many people flying and driving in, including relatives coming from Western and Northern NY-- areas often snowed in. In upstate New York, ruling out the snowy season eliminates November through April.
• Neither of us do well in super hot weather, so we ruled out July or August
• Rich and Jen had already set their date for mid-October, and we didn't want to get too close to that for fear of cramping honeymoon schedules.
• Early September was ruled out due to a plethora of family Birthdays that fall around Labor Day.
• In addition to the fact that June is crazy busy for me at work, we swore our engagement wouldn't be much longer than a year. A May or June wedding would mean a 21 month engagement-- something we were not at all interested in. Just over a year has been the perfect length of time for us to prepare without second guessing things over and over.
  
• I love September light.
