me and my fiance just started discussing dates again, the only request ive been given is it cant be during school, orignally it was going to be over winter break, however weve since decided to have an outside wedding and dont want our guests freezing

this spring semester is my first in college, so i dont know what all to expect time wise

we are trying to plan something for next spring/summer(2011)

however, classes get out may 14ish and his summer classes(which he said he doesnt have to take summer classes, but i think hed regret it if he did) start early june(this year june 4th, however i dont know about next year)

what would be a good time range to give us time to get every last minute detail together.. or stress about whatever will need to be stressed about without it interferring with our finals(last week of semester)?

i was thinking may 21st, however i dont know if a week between finals and wedding day is the best idea...opinions?

    where are you getting married?  hometown or same town as your college?  makes a BIG difference.

    How much is your mom going to be helpful.

    ps I am a May 21st 2011 bride, getting married 9 days after I graduate- then again my final "semester" will be very different than what you will  be facing. 

    My next door neighbor has basically given everything over to her mom because she is busy at school and her wedding is a week after she graduated in another town.

    I think a year should be enough time, though you should start looking at venues now because May is a popular month and since you have a very specific time frame, you may run into scheduling issues.  We had a year and a half engagement and honestly we didn't need the extra 6 months - we basically booked a venue and then did nothing for 6 months.

    As for whether or not you'll be fine getting married a week after finals, it's a personal choice.  A lot of girls on this board are getting married very close to finals/graduation.  It depends on how stressed out you get and how spastic you tend to be about things.  You'll probably wind up spending most of your breaks and long weekends packing in a lot of wedding planning, but it's definitely do-able.  I wouldn't plan on a lot of DIY, unless you have an easy courseload or friends/family volunteering to help out.

    My fiance and I are students as well and we're about to graduate together this June and getting married August 21st.  I say a week before finals is not a good idea because you do want to relax on your wedding and you don't want a day after your wedding to be studying for finals.  Why don't you try having a Summer wedding? while you're in Summer or if you're going to Summer school is not much stress as the regular school year, even though planning might be hectic and stressful what we do is plan during the weekend and just leave school work during the week day :)
