For Love of the Game

Picking the Date of the Big Day
It's the little things that are lost in all of the excitement of actually planning the day that most little girls dream about.  Who would've thought that deciding on a date could be so complicated?  Originally we had thought about planning a fall wedding- not too hot, not too cold, and generally a good time for a vacation for the annual anniversary.  Then the "DO NOTS" started rolling in... NOT during the World Series, NOT on opening weekend of football (college or pro), NOT the OSU vs. Michigan game.... and so on.  I then realized what I would be setting myself up for if I actually set my wedding date during football season/end of baseball season: a portable TV within the groom's reach throughout the entire wedding day, not to mention the difficulties of ever being able to plan an anniversary in which he might not be able to watch an important game.  Oh yes, how the Buckeyes rule his life every Saturday in the fall!  After realizing the madness I would be subjecting myself to with a fall wedding, we quickly changed our minds and settled on a late July wedding.  So it's smack in the middle of baseball season, but that's much more "doable", since they play so many games.
