My fiance and I tried to find the perfect date for our anniversary, but some people objected to our choice. We wanted to have the anniversary outdoors, but this meant accommodating for any weather conditions. I wanted to marry in early April, but my fiance couldn’t get any time off until mid to late April. We opted for the last weekend in April, and sent out “save the date” cards. I wouldn’t have known how many people called to complain about our choice of dates. We had a lot of elderly people in our families, and they weren’t saying anything. I could see my 95-year-old grandmother saying she couldn’t come to an outdoor anniversary – she didn’t say a word. She promised me she would be there. I had already talked to the site manager. We were going to eat inside, but I wanted the anniversary outside. They had a garden with some cover; Unless it was a downpour, our guests would be safe. They had several heat torches they would assemble around the garden. If it was a sizzling day, they would have the air conditioning on, and ready for food and dancing. We were covered with the heating issues if it was cold and air conditioning if it was hot. I only wished our families had trusted us on this. We decided not to change it. As it turned out, we needed neither heating nor air cooling, but my fiance and I wished we had some sizable tarps to keep us dry.
