This is my first poll so if it doesn't work out, please just post your answer in the comments! Thank you!!
Okay, we are going back and forth and can’t pick a date. I figured I would put it out there for the PS ladies.
We’re getting married at the Jersey Shore. The location is between our two hometowns and has sentimental value to my FI. We’re planning on having the ceremony on the beach around 5pm with the cocktail hour starting around 7pm. That timing will allow us to take photos when the lighting is perfect and give our guests the chance to check out the shops and games on the boardwalk. Our reception is going to be on the water and we are planning an outdoor cocktail hour right around sunset. We will be getting married on a Sunday and that is a given.
The choices are May 15th or June 12th.
May 15
Pros:
- Off season (cheaper lodging, less traffic)
- Whole town more relaxed
- More likely to have privacy for the ceremony
- Sooner!
Cons:
- Too chilly on the beach at 5pm?
- Too chilly for outdoor cocktail hour at sunset?
- People probably won’t be able to enjoy the beach
June 12
Pros:
- June weather
- Warm enough for beach ceremony and outdoor cocktail hour
- People can enjoy the beach
Cons:
- Peak season (more expensive lodging, traffic)
- Boardwalk can get crowded
- May have stragglers on the beach around ceremony time
Which would you choose if it were your wedding? Or which would you prefer as a guest?
