Date change, aargh! **update**

Sounds like you answered the problem yourself - the 23rd July even though it is 2 weeks later than you wanted will enable your H2B to have his stag do where he originally wanted it and you dont clash with bdays etc!! Id go for that a save the stress. WE had to change our date to the week before too after our TOG was booked up and we HAD to have him!! lol

IS there any reason you don't want to push the wedding back as at the moment it looks like your best option. based on the reasons the other dates don't work for you? I promise in the grand scheme of things you will be glad of the extra planning time (we had 2 years when we booked our venue and now we have 6 weeks and we are no where near organised).

Also use it to your advantage, see what other discount the venue are willing to offer due to you being messed around after all theyare the ones looking at a double booking. what about a free getting readdy room or an upgrade for your wedding night, it never hurts to ask.

Hmm, yeah you're right there. I don't know why I don't want to push the wedding back. I just don't, lol! Also we've realised that July 23rd is one of the groomsmen's birthdays so we're not 100% on the wedding etiquette of clashing with non-family member's but member of wedding party birthdays??? Seriously, gimme that wall!!

Not stressed, still fine. LMAO!

Unfortunately there will most likley be someones birthday/anniversary/special occasion that will clash on your day in the wedding party, but you cant really base your selection date on that. I think you should go with what makes you happy and not worry about anyone else - your paying afterall :-)

If it helps our wedding day is the same as one of our ushers birthdays (OH didn't tell me until after we booked) but he isn't bothered in fact as we are a friday wedding it means he has a good reason for taking the day off work.

I'm sure your usher won't mind and as vikster said what ever you o you will clash with someones something.

I would get back on to the Hotel and book a date with them, making sure you get the price quoted PLUS some extras as they have messed you around, Our venue messed up initially (we still have over 18 months to look but still couldnt do enough!)

We made it clear we could go elsewhere (even though ive wanted to get married there since i was young!) and negotiated with them until we were so happy the date didnt make a massive impact.

They want your business as much as you want to wed there, remember that and go gettem!! and tell your hubby to be he can plan his own mini download in the garden lol

Stop stressing! ?

You can only have a certain date if it's available for both registrar and venue. I'm afriad you have to stop thinking of things as "your date" until everything is all confirmed.

We originally booked 1st May but the registarar couldn't do it so we had to move it. It was either 24th April or 22nd May. My parents 40th Wedding anniversary was the 23rd May and my bridesmaid (and we found out later one of the bestmen - the other bestmen being the husband of said bridesmaid!) was due on 7th May so we pushed it back to 22nd May. Until the 1st May, I always thought about the 1st and felt a little sadness i'd lost "my" date. Until that was it pee'd it down all day on the 1st (and 24th April) and on the 22nd it was THE most amazingly hot and beautiful day of the year! ?

You have to go with what's available. Good luck with making a decision!

Yeah we'd been through that and it was the venue's double booking that caused the cafuffle. All sorted now though! We've spoken to the registrar and venue and decided to go with May 21st. H2B is fine with doing something different for his stag do as long as he can still go to the festival anyway, hahaha. All is now provisionally booked and just waiting on paperwork and money. AAAAAAND BREATHE!
