The Wedding Date: How Hard can it be?

I'm finding it even harder to choose a wedding date than I originally thought. I've done research and drowned myself in advice like: choose a date around a holiday to make travel easy, don't choose a date around a holiday because travel will be expensive, choose a random date and just go with it even if it lands in the middle of the week, choose a date that is significant for you, don't pick a date in football season (this one is true), go off-season, go in-season, etc.

At first I had it narrowed down to a 1-month period in summer since E was planning on teaching. I had wanted to avoid those hot months in Florida, but I was starting to get used to the idea and got it down to 2 possible Saturdays. Then, we find out E will actually be working on his Master's degree that year and starting to teach the fall after our wedding. Well, I was going to stick to my summer plans until I realized we would possibly be in the middle of a move in the summer if he gets a job in another state (very likely). There is no way I would survive planning a wedding, a honeymoon AND a big move in the same month. I'm sure you would agree.

The upside to all this is that I have a tiny bit more freedom in choosing a month. There is the option to have a wedding and save the honeymoon for later, but this is one of those things I want to be a little traditional about. E and I do not have what you'd call a traditional relationship by far, and we like to do things the weird way. I mean, he proposed to me in my pajamas, for goodness' sake. We're both the outgoing ones in our families and wouldn't think twice about joining Americorps or going off to help rebuild houses somewhere if we had the time, money and opportunity. I'm going to make our wedding about us and not about making a big fancy show, BUT I want our wedding to only be nontraditional in the fact that I will try to make it "green" and not impact the environment too much. Besides that, I want a ceremony, a reception, and then a freaking honeymoon. All in order, just like that. So, I'm left with two options: the County Schools spring break (E will be doing an education internship so he'll get that off) or UF spring break (as a student he gets this off, too). Yes, he gets 2 spring breaks. This happened last year as well.

I had my heart set on April, since that is one of the months it rains the least in Gainesville (along with October, in case you wanted to know). I got excited when I saw April 10 was a Saturday, because how cool would it be to have our wedding on April 10, 2o10? Unfortunately, that's at the end of the Alachua County spring break week. The Saturday before reminds me of a bad day and I can't get it out of my head so I don't want my anniversary on that day every year. My other option is probably March 6, 2010. I'm thinking that sounds good, but UF hasn't even sent out a proposed schedule for 2010. They tend not to decide until the last minute, and I don't want to deal with a wedding date that could possibly change a few months before. Would people even go to a wedding that was set right before their spring break? *sigh* It might be best to do summer after all or even a later honeymoon. Well, I'm still hopeful for 4/10/2010. Any advice/thoughts?
