Re: Wedding date falls on a Tuesday

  • Our 5 year anniversary falls on a Saturday in 2014 which seems just perfect, until you consider the fact that I have to take the biggest board exam of my life to date a mere 16 days later. LIfe happens. We'll get married the next month. It will be just as special

    [QUOTE]I had to respond!  You probably aren't even going to read this because of all the mean comments above! I couldn't even read some of them! I completely understand the date thing. Intially My fiance and I had our wedding planned for May 25th our anniversary is March 25th so it worked out well that the two were close together.  May 25th also fell on the right day for us in 2014.  I too am obsessed with numbers and felt that 5.25.14 was the perfect date.  To me I wanted a date that was more then just a random date.  I hear all these people's wedding anniversaries and it alawys just sounds like a random day.  <strong>Plus who wants to remember two anniversaries?</strong> Well 2014 got blown out of the water.  I wanted it for finanical reason.  I just graduated college and started a new job.  Planning a wedding, moving into my own place, and working this job are A LOT for one person in one year.  Not impossible by any means but it's stressful.  Due to religious reasons my fiance and I would basically be shunned if we lived together pre-marriage.  I wanted to be married so waiting was silly.  i was just trying to be logical by waiting.  Weddings are so expensive!  So the wedding got moved up 2013.  May was out because I just felt it was way too soon.  So we settled on August.  Well August 25th could have been our wedding date.  Then it would still be our anniversary and everything would work out perfectly!  I was so sure this was our wedding date.  Well we realized that August 25th wouldn't work for a lot of our guests.  It would be the first weekend of school.  So after many long conversations we changed it.  It irritated me so much.  It feels like you have this one idea of your wedding and it just constantly gets knocked down. To make a long story short I am now completely happy with our date of August 10th.  It was a previous friends anniversary and that really bothered me.  Now it doesn't matter and I'm kind of glad we get to keep our original anniversary and our wedding anniversary. August 10th now sounds perfect along with the odd 13.  I swear to you I used to be upset about this but I cherish the date now.  I  would suggest maybe picking a totally different date that is unrelated.  I promise the OCDness eventually goes away once you realize it's your weddding day.

    Pretty sure your dating anniversary goes by the way side after you get married.

  • I do hope you're getting appropriate treatment for your OCD.
  • I liken weekday weddings to destination weddings.  Only your nearest and dearest are likely to show up, and that's fine.

    If you want a big wedding with everyone you've ever met, pick a Saturday night.

  • We're doing the same thing lol. Although it will be our 11 year. We also fall on a tuesday

  • As a fellow OCDer, I say do what makes you happy, the FUN of the wedding will outlast the stress you are putting on yourself.
