Because if it's something that is a yearly thing than that's going to suck for our anniversary any year we would want to do DL to celebrate.

All the druid children will be running around the park... My guess would just be that there is a big convention going on then.

I believe this convention is about the same time every year. You mean you did not consult the Anaheim Convention Calender when choosing a wedding date? Shame.
