1. Set a date.
I realize that some couples get engaged and dance around actually getting married for several years for different reasons, but we are both anxious to be married. Before we actually got engaged we talked about ideal times to get married because between work for Adam (he is ALWAYS busy, but he is especially busy during primary and election times), work for me (getting married during tax season--not happening), and school (hopefully finishing that up soon!), we are busy! But we had talked about October or November or June.
By the time we got engaged, we had decided that October or November were too busy for Adam, AND we didn't want to wait a year and a half to get married. Then, we had to consider other events going on during the next year: other weddings (including my moms!), births :D, and various graduations. Originally, we thought I was going to be in school for longer, so if we got married in 2012, we wanted to do it on my parents' anniversary: June 2nd, which happened to fall on a Saturday. Obviously we didn't want to wait TWO years, so we went with the first Saturday in June, which is when they got married too.
I've heard that your venue picks your date, but since the date has special meaning to us, (and actually worked with our busy family and wedding parties' schedules) we were willing to change venues based on date availability.
