Judi Vitale's Wedding Date Astrology
CAPRICORN WEDDING DEC. 22-JAN. 19
This couple is dignified, putting on a reserved, sophisticated, even conservative front. But they are also packed with hidden down and dirty sensuality, just below the surface. The season is marked by winter energy, dignified but cozy. The colors will probably be neutral in tone, perhaps even blacks and whites, but don't be fooled. This couple might put on a front of the conservative, but their love life will be private, and more passionate than you think.
AQUARIUS WEDDING JAN. 20-FEB. 18
This couple is a meeting of the minds; smart, and unique. This means that they want their wedding to be unique, with special vows, a quirky location, or an odd party. They will make bold and unusual combinations for their weddings, strange color choices, settings and flowers that might surprise you. These couples bring out the best in one another, and they will push each other to always think outside of the box.
PISCES WEDDING FEB. 19-MARCH 20
This couple is soft, both of them dreamy. The wedding is therefore soft and dreamy, romantic but delicate. It will have fairy tale touches, perhaps a horse drawn carriage. Everything will subtly blend, including colors and flowers. This is a couple that will go through the flow.
"Early Show" co-anchor Maggie Rodriguez's wedding date: MARCH 15.
ARIES WEDDING MARCH 21-APRIL 19
This couple is bold, brash, energetic. This sun sign is the beginning of spring, and the earth is taking energy to blossom, break through. And that energy is going to translate to the wedding. Boisterous, the wedding will be great with bright color choices. This couple will always need to be looking for something fresh and exciting. Anniversary getaways to different spots will keep everything new, exciting and sexy.

TAURUS WEDDING APRIL 20-MAY 20
This couple is calmer, more secure, steadier. They are calmer, more down to earth, but maintain a certain sensuality. This couple enjoys life, but sensibly, always looking for bargains. The color schemes will be earth tones, browns, beiges. This is going to be a couple that doesn't like change, so they can get stuck in a rut, so be wary of monotony.

GEMINI WEDDING MAY 21-JUNE 20
This is going to be an energetic wedding, as you are a chatty, networking couple.

But as a couple, you will be great at adaptation to almost any situation, any stage of life.

LEO WEDDING JULY 23-AUG. 22
This is a time for weddings where the bride and groom want to be the king and queen. People who want to get married under Leo are regal, grand, dignified. This is the height of summer, so celebrations should be at their height. Nothing is too grand for a wedding under Leo. If economics are a concern, then perhaps Leo couples just have a big party, and small ceremony. A Leo couple will have high expectations of each other, in all aspects of life.

These couples have an exacting nature, and will need to watch that in their future.
