this weekend was our first choice weekend to get married. we'd wanted this weekend so i could take 2 weeks off work straddled over april and may. but being outside today, i realized that it was probably a blessing in disguise that we ended up w/ our third choice date. i mean, it was hot. tolerable in the shade, but sweaty hot in the sun. i imagined what it would've been like to wear my dress outside taking pictures for hours, and just the very thought made me uncomfortable. i loved my dress, y'know. after hours of dress shopping, when i tried it on i knew it was THE dress. it was convenient that the silk satin and crinoline were heavy, b/c it was chilly on our actual wedding day. i've read stories though, about brides who passed out during their fittings due to the heat. i think i would've had to choose a different dress, and that would've been hard. also, my allergies kicked in. my eyes were itching like crazy, and when they get going, my allegra doesn't work 100%. i practically claw at my eyes; i rub them until they feel sore, making my eyelids turn red. it would've been awful to be grabbing at my eyes throughout my wedding! so in the end, getting married in march worked out. even though our honeymoon occurred one week shy of being low season, we were able to get several deals on our vendors b/c it was their last weekend in the low wedding season. and of course, i got to wear the dress i wanted without feeling like to pass out. :)
