Hello!
I am having the hardest time choosing a date for a destination wedding in the US that works with the busy schedules of my friends.
My significant other and I are not "officially" engaged yet, but have started the planning process behind the scenes given how quickly vendors book up these days. I initially placed a soft hold on 6/17/2023 as that seemed to be the only date available that worked for two of my busier friends while still being in my ideal months (May and June). I then later learned that this date no longer works for my doctor friend, and that this date falls on Fathers Day Weekend. I am not potentially interested in moving my hold to 6/3/2023 with the following pros/cons in mind
Pros of June 3rd:
-Not Father's Day Weekend
-Earlier in the summer and less prone to tropical storms
-June 17th no longer works for my doctor friends schedule
Cons of June 3rd:
-My one best friend has finals for grad school beginning on June 10th and would be stressed (the wedding requires her to travel)
-Given that this is a more popular wedding weekend than fathers day, it is possible that one of our actually engaged friends will pick this weekend, leaving us with even fewer weekend options if we then have to change it. Because we aren't officially engaged yet, I don't feel I am in a position to tell the other engaged couple not to pick a certain date. They are also looking at May/June 2023
Appreciate all the advice in advance!
