Compromise and wed in late Jan. I would avoid Valentine's as if you want pretty flowers or things on your anniversary, it is a fortune more than any other time of year. We married on Dec 23, and it really is a pain in the **** for an anniversary date because of all the ruckus the holidays stir up. You can't just sneak away for a romantic weekend to celebrate, especially once you have kids.

Holiday weddings can be really beautiful because there are so many neat themes and decorations you can use. December weddings can be Christmas-y if you celebrate it, or you can decorate in white and silver, or use red velvet, or twinkle lights. Valentine weddings can have hearts and red flowers and all kinds of neat elements.
Big warning, though: There are several things to think about before planning a holiday wedding. First, not everyone on your guest list will want to travel for a holiday wedding if they live out of town, and even those in-town may be deluged with party invitations or family plans, and won't want to add another event to the calendar. Second, wedding locations and vendors (cake people, photographers, etc.) are busiest during holiday times, and you may have a hard time finding a venue for your reception that isn't already booked. Finally, everything is pricier on holidays--for example, imagine the markup on your flowers if you married on Valentine's Day! Reception locations are notorious for jacking their prices up in December and around V-Day.
I think either time of year would be beautiful and do-able. But if you choose to go with a holiday month, plan ahead and be aware that you might hit some extra bumps in the road with your planning.
Good luck!

If you're prepared to pay about 3-4 times MORE then Valentine's Day isn't out of the question. Vendors are going to charge you quite a bit more than they would any other time because of the holiday...especially for food, flowers and the limo. Also, if you choose Feb, get to planning because you don't have much time left and most places book 8, if not 12, months in advance. Don't stress yourself out and plan a later date...pick something that will be special to you are your fiance and not a national holiday.

I see nothing wrong with a Valentine's day wedding. Your main problem with this date would be flowers. Roses will cost you an arm and a leg. They are out of season and everyone wants them but if you research winter/early spring flowers you will be OK. December may be hard being as Christmas is in December and many people are saving for their Christmas celebrations and are less likely to be able to give..just a thought.

What would be cool is if you had a News Years Eve wedding. I know someone who is having one of those this December. Their colors are purple and silver. So I say get married December 31st. It would be lovely if you guys could ring in the New Year together on your wedding day.

Too many "Valentines" get married on the 14th February, things cost a fortune as this is a traditional "lovers" date and the wedding companies exploit that by charging the earth. December is a great month.

I would have to agree with jache. Getting married on Valentines day is ridiculously expensive. Roses on Feb. 12 are two to three times cheaper than on the 14th. So imagine what weddings cost! However, if that day has sentimental meaning for you and your fiance, then I say go for it! You can make your day fit within your budget. So I am on the fence!
IF the day is speical for you.... go for it! If not.... December is beautiful too!

Be prepared to pay almost double for everything on Valentine's Day. Food, flowers, etc. will be priced very high. I would avoid December cause of all the holidays. What about January?

I'd say you could be in big trouble already....the fact that you ask the question, 'when I should get married', instead of when WE should get married. Stop focussing so much on the wedding, and spend time thinking about the marriage. The wedding is one day - the marriage is supposed to be a lifetime.
