Because this blog will chronicle the various aspects of the wedding planning process, I’m going to have to backtrack a bit to discuss the planning up until now.

We’ll start with an easy one: the date.

On April 18, 2004, Chris and I held hands for the first time while watching Bridget Jones’ Diary in his dorm room. Since then, we’ve considered that our anniversary. We always knew we wanted to have our wedding around that time. When we had been planning the Hawaii version of the wedding, we were going to have to do March to coincide with James’ spring break. The fact that we changed to a California wedding gave us the weekend back.

The alternate that I had thrown out in the event that the weekend was not available anywhere was April 8th. Those dates hold no other significance than being close to the Lost numbers 🙂
