Good Omen?

DISCLAIMER: No, we are not setting a date, no, there is still no "official he got down on one knee" engagement, and no, nothing is set in stone. This is me and my mad speculation.

In considering wedding dates (yes, it's jumping the gun, but it's fun to think about), there have been a lot of months that have been crossed out due to my concerns about bad karma. My parents were married in January. March is insanely full of stuff (Steven's, Lane's, Haille's, Steven's dad, an aunt, among others), April is when Steven's parents were married, May is when Steven's first wedding was, June... I'm just not down with being a June bride, July is my birthday, and September is Steven's mother's birthday.

I don't want to get married in a month where someone either of us knows well either had a bad marriage or got divorced. I know it's superstitious, but I'm not taking chances. That's part of the reason we decided we will not store the pictures of Steven's first wedding here, even though we are saving them for Elliott when he's 18 (or at least much older). That's why we are giving away her wedding china rather than selling it or throwing it out. I do say hers because she picked it out, independant of Steven. Lame, eh?

November is a possibility, but there are a couple birthdays and an anniversary. December is a forerunner, considering my grandparents' anniversary is that month and they have one of the best marriages I've ever seen. In 2007, their anniversary will fall on a Saturday, which makes it a viable option.

Today, I was thinking about Groundhog's Day as well. Both Steven and I really like the holiday, so I checked 2008. Also a Saturday. We are planning 2007-2008 as a ballpark figure. I know we will most likely officially marry in Vegas in October for a couple reasons, though one is no longer valid (no more blood tests in Mass. Yay!) The other is possible discounts if we go during Interbike with Steven's friend Paul and his wife Karin. Second, if we go with them, hey, built in witnesses!

Sign from above of good things to come? What do you guys think?

HEY! I was a June bride! (it was an accident -- I knew nothing about weddings.)

I'm super excited for you. And I think Vegas is closer to me *WINK*

Well, I think you know I got married in Vegas (in November, no less)... and I'm all for it. So much less hassle than planning a big wedding and so much more inexpensive! I swear TO GOD if I could impart any wisdom on you, it is this... fuck the details and concentrate on what the ceremony really means. I don't even remember my wedding because I was so stressed out about what was supposed to happen to who and when and where. It's a shame you only get to do it once, because I'd really like to do it again and enjoy it.
