So, here’s the dilemma

We now have an ongoing discussion on when the wedding will actually take place. Initially, we talked about having it on Mark’s birthday, September 5, 2009 which works since it’s a Saturday.

Now since we are trying to keep the budget low on this thing, I floated the idea of having it on September 9, a Wednesday. Venue rates are cheaper on weekdays plus some vendors are giving more freebies on weekday bookings. And it being 2009, it has a nice 09.09.09 = once in a lifetime feel to it.

When MIL got wind of the dates we are considering, she put forth the idea of having it on September 8, Mama Mary’s birthday. My concern with this date is that the parish we’re eying has special masses for the schools in the vicinity and might not agree to the time that we want for the ceremony.

Mark is not much help since his reply is always, “Kahit ano, ok lang.

So, instead of the firm answer of September 5 that we used to give, we now have to check with the church what their availability is.
