Actually dgilday, I'm in the same boat as you my friend. I'm set to get married this June too! June 28th to be exact. Plus my honeymoon is two weeks in the middle of July!

I have a friend who works for the FAA in OKC who I asked the exact same question to. He told me that contray to popular belief, the FAA will actually work with you on personal matters, especially something as big as getting married. He said that once I get my Academy date (or you in this instance), if it interferes with your wedding, call up OKC, explain the situation, and all they'll do is put you in a class with a later start date, since you've already gotten your letter, they don't mind putting you in a later date, as long as there's a good reason for it (which there is).

Hope that helps!
