OMG WTH???? (VENT)

I'm in crisis ladies. The place that I was wedding stalking at has my date already booked. The only Saturday in July they have left is the 3rd and IDK about that. I'm not feeling being close to a holiday plus that's one of my BM bday. They have every friday and sunday in july available but I'm not feeling FRI OR SUN. And August is out because thats My Mom's Niece's and Kadyns bday month(just to much). I almost died this year so I wouldnt dare try to plan a wedding for August. Well I stay in Texas so I was thinking about trying to have the wedding in September, but thats normally when the Hurricanes decide to come. Any ideas ladies?? Does anyone have wedding insurance???

just curious as to why having a wedding on Friday or Sunday isn't an option??...I know many brides and AAW knotties in particular have had wonderful weddings on these days and have saved tons of $$ because it wasn't on Saturday, which is a prime wedding day for any wedding venue...I live in Texas (Dallas) too, so I understand what you are saying about having an August or Sept wedding...

I agree with Alf, I think you should look into have a Fri or Sun wedding.. My original plan was to have a Friday evening wedding but because our schedules decided on a Saturday evening.. I do not have wedding insurance. I only have signed contracts...

In my family (daddy's side) most of my relatives get married Friday night, at some facilities, having a Friday or Sunday wedding cost a bit less or they will add in some extras for you b/c those days are not typically booked for weddings. You may want to consider it.I don't have wedding insurance, the contracts I have signed so far make provisions for unusual things that could possibly happen. I'm not really sure that insurance is necessary.

So the thing with Sun is our friends seem to get messed up at these types of functions and I want everyone to have a recuperations(sp?) day. And on Fridays some of my family probably wouldn't come although that might not be a bad thing(less people you spend less money LOL).

Plus with this venue it doens't matter which day it is, it all cost the same. It's in a park so they have set rates.

So Kristi, You're going to lose your wedding month b/c some of your friends get "messed up" and *they* need a day to recuperate?  Come on!!!

Kristi what park are you having your wedding? I live in Houston as well and June - September is too hot to be outside so if you can plan in July I don't see why you can't plan for it in August. And I understand you on the Friday and Sunday thing not that my ppl need a recuop day but my ppl hate events after a work day (Friday) and Sunday is rest day church and home.

honey, your friends will just need to learn to deal if they get twisted at the wedding on a sunday! Maybe it'll make them lay off the booze a bit if they gotta work the next day, or they'll take the day off. Friday is still an option--they can chill on saturday!

@ Deidra My FI doesn't really like the idea of FRI or Sun so its alot of things against those days and heck I don't like going to weddings on those days. I always feel rushed on a friday and don't feel like going come sunday. But thats just me.@Nelcorp Its gonna be at the Walter Hall Park in League City. Most of my family and his live in Galveston County and we only stay in Clear Lake so I'm really not in Houston lol. And I can't do August because its to many birthdays and I don't want to add to that. This last August had me going out my mind.Thanks ladies for the advice...

Galveston might at well be houston, I'm really in Katy but it's all the same. Okay well if things are too packed in August and July is not available can you try June? But it's real nice at the park in late September and October. Not too hot or cool. But hurricanes are a factor. But most places and vendors will put some unforseen weather clause in their contract.

This is totally up to you in the end but I would say please consider a Fri or Sun wedding. My wedding is on a Sunday. Though next year I could have held my wedding on a Saturday if I wanted to, FI & I still chose a Sunday (4/25/2010). We changed our original wedding date (10/18/09) due to FI getting laid off. But we had a similar issue like you in the beginning of our planning when the venue we wanted for the date we initially looked at (9/26/09) was book solid, as was every saturday thru the end of the year and we were forced if we wanted to get married this year to change our wedding date to a Sunday in October. And as I thought more and more about it and the cost savings we got for having it on a Sunday, it looked better and better. So I would say talk it over with FI. it may be an option you guys will really like if July 3rd is really not the way you want to go. HTH

Sorry to hear your venue was booked on your preferred day. However, I must say that I got married on a Friday and it was perfect...definitely reconsider a Friday....GL
