People always look at me like I am a freak when I tell them I am. Like "really, in the dead of winter?" We live in SoCal people, we have no winter! But anway, anyone else doing this? What made you decide on that time of year? Did you get any discounts for not being in "peak season?" We did, and had our choice of vendors since we booked early and not many brides are competing for them! Score!
