The venues my fiance and I are looking at seem to be extremely picked over for next spring/early summer. Our favorite venue has 5/5/12 and 7/14/12 and nothing in June!
We are leaning towards 5/5/12 but here's the thing: the reception venue has a beautiful outdoor patio with a gazebo and enough seating for all of our guests so we have been STRONGLY considering the cermony outdoors on the patio, then inside afterwards for the reception. The patio is not covered, so perhaps I would rent a couple free-standing 20x20 tents.
Am I crazy to have an outdoor ceremony in May in Minnesota?????? It could be beautiful but it could be far worse.
Should we just take the 7/14/12 date??
