OK so it's been a week since we've been engaged. A week, eight days, so a little over a week. Everyone, including the lady who cleans the trashcans at my job, has asked me "Did you set a date?" Did I miss something? I am supposed to have a date set, the night I get my ring? ugggh....CK doesn't want a long engagement because we have been together forever already and yea that makes sense. However, there are a few problems with this....besides the obvious of finding a venue, dress, etc....His cousin, J, is getting married in August (in Penn State- so awesome) and my college friend, G, is getting married in September (which she has been planning forevvver). So, clearly I would like to ideally not get married in the same month as them, oh but another problem or lets say challenge. I maybe attending doctoral school this fall if I get in. It would be extremely tough for me to work full time, move into my house with CK (happening this month), go to school full time, and plan a wedding? ehh, IDK if my type -A self can do all that without totally freaking out. Sooo, I would think that leaves me with July or October of this year....yikes! Oh and we already know of 3 or 4 weddings for 2011, so this year, I think is the one.
I was thinking October, but then I have to worry about my sibilings and how to get them outta school, and stuff, I could be in school, and have to take off, and then no honeymoon right away?..plus its Penn State season then...
CK, claims he doesnt care, he will just show up, so then I say ok October, and then I hear well football, ugghh, so July then?! Luckily there are 5 Saturdays in July and October this year, so that should help, right? Then what if we can't get a venue that fast? Boys, they just dont get it sometimes. Then people are throwing out how we could think about having it on a Friday (but people have to work), ohhh decisions!!! I'll keep you posted and hope to have a date by the end of the week. Oh and we did a tentative list, 200+, which I'm sure only like 80% would be able to come in this short of time, maybe thats for the better?!
How long did it take you to pick a date? Did you have to schedule around sporting events too?

Well we originally decided for a day in August but it as booked (18 months out) so that's how we ended up with September. It is on the day of a Penn State game too but if it wasn't football, it'd be baseball or basketball... we drew the line somewhere.
Just remember, if i can plan a wedding 3,000 miles away in the midst of some big life changes... you could definitely plan something by october even if the doc program works out because most of the planning will be done BEFORE you start.
