Although I'm still staying silent on most of the wedding details, I've decided to share the date today—mostly because Saturday marked the six month countdown and I'm just so, so excited!
Radley and I are getting married on August 4, 2012 here in California :)
Let me just say that it's a really, really important date for me. My parents were married on August 4, 1984—yep, 8.4.84—and their marriage has been both inspiring and intimidating, as I never imagined I'd find someone as meant for me as they are for each other. I did, though, and there was never a question as to the date I wanted to marry him. (Luckily, it falls on a Saturday this year.)
Even better? Anyone who knows me well—or anyone who has seen me set an alarm to 6:03, adjust the radio volume to 9, or change the temperature to 66—knows that I can be a total numerology nerd. For whatever reason, I've always loved the number 33 and sort of obsessed over multiples of 3. So the fact that 8.4.12 can turn into 8 + 4 = 12 and 8 + 4 + 12 = 24 makes the date all the more perfect.
There are exactly 179 days until our wedding... you know, not that I'm counting :)

Yay! I'm totally a number nerd as well! Nothing wrong with it!
6 months? goosebumps!
I'm not obsessed with numerology, but I have a weird thing with month/date combinations. I can tell you that in my twisted little brain, August 4 is a BEAUTIFUL combination. :)
@Sam | ashoreHave you started practicing your aisle walk yet? :)
super exciting! i just passed the 8 month countdown, although i'm with you on the blog silence for some reason!
aah it's so close! and what a sweet way to pick your date--so personal and special!
Love the date + explanation! I am a complete numbers geek, too, so I was thrilled when our date added up, as well. 05.18.13 - the two outside numbers equal the middle number.
aww so exciting! and so great you can get married on your parents anniversary . so special!
I noticed the numbers thing before you even mentioned...because I find little patterns like that :D YAY for setting a date. Hopefully it will be an awesome day for you! :D
So very exciting!! I love that you picked a date with special significance to you :)
