Hello Ladies - we''re still not officially engaged, although it is looking closer and closer. We almost have the money together, but now I am wavering on the setting (original was to have two bullet cut diamonds, .47 cttw, but I''ve sort of been drawn to the look with small rounds halfway down the sides, so will have to talk to the jeweler about that...).
So the problem is that once we do get engaged, the wedding date is tricky. We are in SF area, and I grew up here and kind of always wanted a Spring wedding because I think its so pretty here in the Spring. But, we can''t have it Spring of ''06 because that will be right before my qualifying exams. We don''t want to have it Spring of ''07 because bf will be in his first year of law school at that point (almost definitely). My quals are in early Summer/late Spring of ''06 and I definitely want the wedding after that if possible (I feel like being in grad school I need at least a year to plan, preferably a bit more, and I''m too superstitious to start officially planning until we''re officially engaged...). But I have a cousin who is getting married summer of ''06 (July) and I don''t want to get married too close to her date because I want the mutual family to be able to come to both weddings. Also, bf doesn''t want a Winter wedding and doesn''t want to wait too long.
So, what do you guys think - keep in mind the following constraints:
late Spring/early Summer ''06 Quals
July ''06 cousin''s wedding
September ''06 bf starts 1st year of law school
no Winter, and nothing before Quals...
I would greatly appreciate advice on this ladies, especially for those of you who have, plan to, or know someone who has planned a wedding around school schedules...thanks!
