My Holy-Crap-We-Set-a-Date Post

HOLY CRAP--WE SET A DATE.

Now I feel like I really have to start working on planning this whole wedding thing. I mean, my official "The Knot" wedding webpage tells me that I have a checklist of something like 150 things to do in the next 401 days, 5 hours, 2 minutes (precisely how long until our big day arrives, thank you The Knot).

September 29, 2012.

9/29. Should be easy enough to remember our anniversary. Not to mention it is only 2 days after my mother's birthday and 1 day after my brother-in-law's birthday. In this family, we like to keep things simple like that. (My birthday is the day before my father-in-law's, Kyle's is the day before his mom's). 9/29 will soon be the most significant day in our lives besides our own births and births of our future children.

The date is perfect. Want to know why? Because Fate itself picked it out for us. That's right, Fate. I wanted a fall wedding for as long as I can remember. Narrowed it down to September with the anticipation that we could Honeymoon over my fall break from school. Chose September 29, the first Saturday of my fall break, hoping for fall color and a 2-week vacation to recover from the wedding. And then, when touring the venue I am in love with, we asked to see the calendar of availability, and that is when Fate said "You must marry on September 29, 2012", because it was the ONLY SATURDAY LEFT NEXT FALL FOR OUR VENUE!

And that is how Fate helped us pick our wedding date. And venue.

So, Fate, now it is time for you to pick my wedding dress out for me. And then find me a good photographer. I don't have time to second guess myself, so I need you to be more involved in this process to make sure it goes smoothly from this point on.

We set a date. :)
