So I was going to get married in TN (Loudon area) in June 2011. Family (who live down there) & I decided it would be too hot. (Outdoor wedding, by the river, on a family member's property.)
So we moved it to October 15, only to find out I couldn't get our cabin in the Smokies that week after, so I moved it to October 22, 2011. That's where it's stayed for awhile. We went down to stay with this family member this past weekend so I could see the site a little more closely and plan things (decorations, placement, all that fun stuff). Well, Saturday was just beautiful (October 2), but Sunday we had a family get-together and everyone nearly FROZE to death! It was cloudy and freezing and awful. This family member's live-in boyfriend kept telling me that's how it'd be for my wedding, and everyone would be too cold, and I'd freeze (in a dress!) if I did it on October 22. I really liked the idea of doing that, because the leaves will be changing and it's going to be pretty...but for those of you who live in the area...am I nuts? Am I doomed to freezing out my guests and myself if I wait until October 22? Others in the area said that it was pretty abnormal for it to be as cold as it was, but still, now I'm freaking out and I don't know what to do. I don't really want to change the date *again*, and having it in the family member's house isn't an option (her house is too small).
Do you think I've got a decent shot at it being at least pleasant out, or do I absolutely need to move it to a warmer month? (This man suggested August, but I *know* it's too hot in August.)
