Before deciding on the final date and what were the reasons? Have you ever pushed it out further than you would like, and did you tell anyone about the wedding and then had to change it yet again?

When my husband and I first became engaged, we talked about a September wedding. September seemed like a nice time to get married.
But that would have left us 8 months to plan and finance the wedding. We really wanted September, but we didn't think we could plan and pay that fast. We thought a lot about it, and we decided to push the date back. We decided on April of the following year.
There were some birthdays and other anniversaries in April, so we chose our date based on when nothing else was being celebrated. We were lucky that our venues were free that day, but we would have gone into May if necessary.
At first, we told people we were planning a September wedding. When that changed, we just said we'd moved it back to April. It was only that we confirmed our date with all the vendors that we told anyone the exact day.
We didn't feel wierd telling people the month had changed, and no one seemed put out by it at all. I think people expect that plans might change, at least until the invites are sent out.

I had my original date of August 18th, 2007. (Only cause we thought it looked like a good date) It was in the summer, nice and seemed like a good deal. The church was available, and when I went to talk to the resort where I wanted the dinner and reception, they were booked. The next available date was September 15th, 2007, so I took it, and the church was ok with that too. So I've got about 11 months now. (I only got engaged 3 weeks ago tho) I am not changing the date now. Got both big things, everything else can work around it. Kinda neat tho, cause its just 2 days off from our anniversary of dating.

I never changed the date, not even once. I went to the church, talked to the priest, and set the date. Found the hall I wanted and the date was available so we were good to go. They key to good wedding planning is booking your venues in advance. We booked our church in October for a December wedding the next year, same with the hall. You can't expect to coordinate the church and the hall a couple of months in advance unless you get married on a Thursday.

Our original wedding date was set for August 26, 06... we couldn't find the perfect place to have the wedding and one day we found it. The only bad part was that they were booked that weekend. Fortunately they were open the following weekend (9/2/06) It worked out cause it landed on Labor Day weekend and they were easier dates to work with for our out of town guests.
The good thing of it all was that not too many people knew about the first date we had picked (only our parents and the bridal party).

I had to change my date two times. The first date was to close in order to plan anything properly. The second date was not okay with the church as they were going to a conference. The date that I have now works but I still had to find another church because of a conflict with another ceremony. So there you go.

My husband and I were supposed to get married on July 31, then August 21, then September 16, then and finally we got married on October 20. We have been married for almost 5 years. I just wished we could have gotten married on the second date. The reason is that is our twin girls birthday.

I had at least 3 dates maybe 4. We keot putting it off 'cause his ex (whom he had started divorcing a year before we met) kept dragging every thing out. She finally signed the papers last June (Thank GOD) and I moved the date to next summer so I had a year to plan. If I move it again it is because I got tired of all this wedding crap and we flew to Vegas.

None. It was easy to decide. I was teaching, so it made sense to have the wedding in the summer, and I wanted a few weeks free to do stuff before it - so had it the last Saturday of July.

Once. We were going to get married on July 4th 2003 because that was our anniversary of our first date but as the date got closer I realized I would never have everything in place in time plus it would be too expensive and difficult to reserve a venue on the 4th of July so we switched it to his Birthday on October 13th. Tomorrow is our 3rd anniversary!
