So, we're looking at wedding dates, and looking at Next January. People are saying don't do it because it might get snowed out. Well, it's been 70 deg this last week, and I can't remember the last time somthing around here was "snowed out" especially in January.

What are your thoughts?

 

[LordOpie]

We're getting married in February. Yeah, January has some risks, but so what?

You support your bride-to-be, agree to pretty much everything if she wants January, that's when you're getting married

January wedding kick a$$! But only if they're held someplace like this:

Thanks Opie

We both kinda want January, but others say its not such a good idea. I say if it snows, if people want to get here, they can get here!

 

[Tattooo]

Where in VA would you do this?
This winter, according to the locals, is odd.
I moved here one year ago next week, and it was raining and nasty outside.

Then again, I'm tubby, I like the cold.
Just make sure you have a back up plan to outside, that will be a day saver.

 

[BigMike]

Yes, this winter is DEFINANTLY odd, but normally its raining right now, not snowing. And we are not planning on having it outside, it will all be inside

 

[LordOpie]

what if it turns out to be a beautiful day? Do you have an outdoor option? Not needed, but hey...

Planning outdoors in January is normally not a good idea But its a possiblilty to think about.....

What kind of building would you be having it in? If it's in a banquet hall with few to no windows then you could get away with it. The big problem with rainy wether is the gloomyness of it all, works out at a funeral, not quite the feeling I would want at a wedding. Especially with the bare trees and all.

But you have to remember the important people involved with the wedding, from most to least impourtant.

Her
Her Parents
Your Parents

somewhat less important, you

even less important, your and here close freinds

and who gives a sh1t what everyone else involved thinks.

So if you and her like the idea of a January wedding and can sell the parents on it, then do whatever you want.

I think January weddings are fine. If it snows...then it's pretty, but you more than likely won't be worried about it.

Yesterday's weather for burly and I's wedding was 68 and partly sunny in the mountains. But is might be winterymix tonight, so you never know.

Like everyone else says, pick a day YOU want!

 

[Westy]

I'm going to a wedding this weekend, I thought it was a great idea. Summer months can be super busy and hard for people to attend. I got nothing going on in january. Won't sweat my ass off in a suit either.

So between your birthday and the Bears' victory, you two went nuts?

 

[VT Mtbkr]

More likely to have an ice storm or torrential rain this time of year. I don't see snow as being a determining factor unless you are inviting important out of town guests from other more snow prone areas.

IMHO I would pick March or late October....hopefully enough time to heal from injuries and a better chance of warmer weather.

It was a busy day for sure. Ended with a friend head-butting a light at a bar. Blood everywhere. All of us ran out a different door. So we can't go back there for a little while. Just luckily it wasn't jason. But that's just because we weren't to the drinking liquor stage yet.. HA!

MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!

Yeah, I figure the worst will be rain. But...... most (and most means 95%) of the guests will have a 2 hourish drive. Some coming down from Maryland, some from Roanoke. Also, there will be planes involved for some people.

And March or October won't work because of that pesky school thing she's doing, I should put a stop to that

Plus, here in the good ol' capital of the souf, In Spring or Fall we have the chance of a hurricane, torrential downpours that cause flooding, fires, tornados, hell, i've even been through a small earthquake here! I think we've had everthing possible besides a tidal wave in the past 5 years i've been here, so I don't think a little snow or ice will hurt anyone

 

[LordOpie]

yeah, hurricane season is unpredictable, but when was the last time there was one during winter?

 

[BigMike]

Bingo!

Hell, the last time I can remember an ice storm here is 1997....... I mean, the place shuts down if there is 1/2" of snow on the ground, but thats because people don't know how to drive I think it will be OK.

So now the big choice is, the 6th, or the 13th? I say the 13th, because then we could have our anniversary on Friday the 13th But if we do it the 6th, we can take a 10 day cruise right afterward and have plenty of time for her to get back and do the grad school thing.

 

[LordOpie]

does she know you're retarded?

6th.

 

[BigMike]

does she know you're retarded?

6th.

What?? The 13th is a lucky day!

 

[Cooter Brown]

count yourself lucky and be glad that you asked us. Don't do it, don't do it at all. In the rain in the snow, it will end up to blow. In the sun, in the sand, you'll still have to use your hand. At the beach, at the moor, hire three cheap, stupid whores. When you're on the lift, slip her a mick, push her off and make it quick.

Good luck with that one

What the fcuk are you talking about?!
