i just found out my college graduation is the day before my wedding.
the ceremony is at 10 am, in the town where i live on may 4. the wedding is the next day, in a town 3 hours away. on saturday may 5, 2012.
to do this would be crazy stressful for me. but it could probably be done.
the reasons i'm hesitating to change my date:
may 5 sounds so good. it's easy to remember. 5/5. cinco de mayo.
the ceremony site is a garden with tons of azaleas, that bloom is mid april. the site has an annual azalea festival there. by having my wedding on may 5, i could have the azalea's still in bloom, but avoid the actual festival itself. with all that natural beauty, i would barely have to decorate the site.
to have a may wedding is special in sentimental to my fiance and i (long story).
and we have lots of out of state guests, so it has to be a saturday.
so if i reschedule to the next saturday, that's the day before mother's day, which might lead to some people not coming.
if i push it back another saturday to may 19th, all the azaleas could be dead by then.
and the next weekend is memorial day weekend, even worse.
our guest list is small, about 50 people. all close friends and family, all people who would be missed if they didn't come.
so i'm freaking out. please help me.
