Hey all

I really can't decide what to do - we ony got engaged in July and I was so excited that we started to look at venues straight away. We've found a venue that we like and had hoped to get married in September next year. The only available day they have in Autumn 2013 is 18th October so here's the problems:

Father In Law to be thinks that isn't enough time to plan, and we are settling for second best?
Mother In Law to be thinks we should wait until spring 2014 so the parents have longer to save so they can contribute more towards the cost (between us and our 3 sets of parents we have the cost covered already) i dont want to spend extra money for the sake of it
Will waiting the extra month make that much difference to the weather?

I'm just too darn excited to get married i dont want to wait another six months, yet i dont want to regret rushing into it either

Any advice?

Do what ever you want to do hun, it is yours and h2b's wedding day, no one elses!
Personally I don't think that the weather changes that much between september and october, it is only a month!
As for planning, you have plenty of time! If you marry in October next year you still have over a year to plan, some ladies do it in 6 months, and the blokes on dont tell the bride do it in 3 weeks, so a year is more than enough time!
Go with what you want, you will regret it if you dont do it your way xxx

It's more than enough time to plan. :D

its hardly stealing! but if they are a close friend and would cause ppl having to choose which to attend, I wouldnt!

Its more that im stealing her thunder...
She got engaged in June and said at the time they were saving for an engagement ring,
then i went on holiday in July and came back with a gorgeous engagement ring :-) (complete surprise to everyone)
She was talking in the office and said that they were planning on 18th October but couldn't book as they had to save first.
Now i'm getting in there before her and getting mine booked.

I've already peed 2 other ladies off at work as they are both waiting for there partners to pop the question - but i cant be blamed for that ha ha

Its the only date they have available from August- December :-(
Maybe i'll just wait until spring 2014 as i dont want it to become a competition over who has the best dress etc.

ooh good point, maybe i should just try talking to her and explain the situation.

Plus it doesn't have to be a competition, you could help each other plan, share ideas and such :)

True, you could have completely different ideas about your weddings, planning together might be fun! Definitly speak to her though make sure she knows the reasoning for your date x

Thanks ladies xxx
