Outdoor Oct. Wedding
I need some positive thoughts here. I was orginally going for a late september wedding, but the date was taken 2 hours before we were putting down the depost. I'm pretty bummed over the whole thing. The only other fall date is Oct. 26th. I'm worried about the weather, since we are having an outdoor ceremony. Think it will be too cold? Rain? Icky out?
Who knew picking a date was so stressful! Who knew I had the most perfect date ever! If i don't go with this date, it won't be until Sept. 2014 before we get married, which seems so far away! Any thoughts over the date?

Re: Outdoor Oct. Wedding
Also, intro posts are nice
Edited to add: In all seriousness you cant remember the weather 4 weeks ago?
If not oct. 2013, I would wait until the next fall 2014. I do not like spring, we've had bad luck with spring. One year we got hit by a tornado, 2nd year we got softball size hail. I'm just going to avoid that all together. We don't have good luck with it, I'll rather avoid a wedding that same month
I'm in STL, the summers are super hot and humid. I would not be happy if I had to sit in the 100's at someone elses wedding so I will not do it with mine.
Yes, I do remember what the weather was like 4 weeks ago. In one week it was nice, no jacket weather, 3 days later it was in the 40's. It's really up in the air on what it will be like. I was just wanting some support is all. I'll look for that somewhere else. thanks anyways.

No worries. Go for the Oct 26th wedding. STL should be fine, or at the very least no different than the beginning of October. And keep positive, i know how you feel. I was suppose to have a beautiful October wedding at our family vineyard next year, and I just found out last night that we can't do it even though we spent the last 6months planning and rehabbing our barn. I'm pretty devastated, and all of my wedding info was for MI, and now I have to start from scratch in IL and everything's already booked :( We'll get through it.

I'm so sorry! That must be hard. I can imagine how devastated you are. I was heart broken when I didn't get the date we've been looking at for a month, but wanted to see other venues before me put our money down. 6 months of work would be hard to handle. You are trooper for wanting to still have a wedding and willing to start over. I would want to just go to the courthouse. I wish you luck with your planning. You will have a beautiful wedding in the end, I'm sure of it!
[QUOTE]I live in STL and we are getting married October 12. The weather is fickle here, so i understand your concern about having a wedding in October. Where are you getting married? Are there any other locations you can look at? We picked our date around the location (not the other way around) because the date was not as important as the location. If the date is more important to you, then you may need to shop around for a different location. You can PM me and we can chat about different locations. I feel like I looked at a million! Good luck!

I'm looking at Mount Pleasant Winery in Augusta. It will be an outdoor ceremony with a reception inside. I've told myself if it is cold, it will probably be only a short period of time. The guest should be able to handle it. The rest will be inside.
It was just very upsetting going in that day with my ideal date and then having it blast in my face when we were going to sign a contract that it was taken with only 2 other dates to choose from. I was open to any fall date, but the last weekend of October is later than what I really wanted and with the weather here, you never know what you will get. For example, this week it's been in the 40's and in 3 days it will be in the 70s and it's the end of November! Very odd. So who really knows what I will get in October. 40's, 60's 80's, who really knows. As with any date anyone picks let's hope for no rain! :D
Hope everyone has a wonderful October Wedding!
Good luck wedding planning and Congratulations on your engagement!

</div><div>I love Mount Pleasant!!! It is going to be great. Just let people know that there will be a short ceremony outside followed by a reception inside, so dress appropriately for the weather. Good luck with everything!

I know how you feel. Hang in there!

It all depends if you are wanting an out door wedding or inside. I think it would work out fine if it was indoors, mainly because when you hear November you think cold, but you really never know. You can still take pictures outside, your girls may be get a little cold, but they will not be outside forever. You can always have a shaw or something w/ the dress to give it a little more warmth during picture taking time.

[QUOTE]I know your pain. My fiance and I were planning for October 12th, which is also his father's birthday. His father was stoked! We literally just found out that a friend of his is also getting married the same day. All of our mutual friends will be conflicted about which wedding to attend and we want everyone together. I am super bummed! My fiance mentioned moving it to November. I am refusing. Won't it be cold? I know how you feel. Hang in there! In Response to Outdoor Oct. Wedding :
