It's official. We have set our date!
There were some
factors we needed to weigh. It definitely needed to be conducive to
Aaron's school/research schedule and Judy's parents being in Angola and
all. Since her parents plan on returning to Houston every Christmas, and
Aaron having Christmas break available, we figured that is probably
around the time we could get married.
We also have
friends and family traveling to Houston for the big day. So, we wanted
to be able to have them make the most of their stay with all that
Houston has to offer (For family-friendly ideas, check out Things to Do).
That's when we opted to have our big day on a Thursday. Not only are we
saving a LOT of monies on whichever venue we choose, but it allows the
flexibility of using the weekend for some fun activities (and party time
with our long-distance friends, of course).
With those few factors in mind, we also didn't want the wedding day to be too close
to Christmas Day or New Years Eve. It took some deliberation (and
caused some headache), but we can now present to you... our wedding
date: December 12, 2013.
Even though we have yet to
book our venue - which we will do around Thanksgiving - we doubt we'll
have any issues reserving a date so far in advance. Hooray!
