The Date Search

We have been trying to figure out what date will be best for our wedding. For about a year, I wanted the date of September 26th, 2009 because 26 happens to be my lucky number but as I am finding out, having a wedding on a Friday is a heck of a lot cheaper! I am not sure as t how open people are for Friday weddings though. I know people work and it isnt exactly a 15 minute ready period to change into formal wedding attire. I guess I am just trying to cut costs somewhere. If anyone has an opinion, please share! (Also, if you know a good wedding venue that is NOT Patrick Haley Mansion.)
