I'm always late to threads...but keeping to an earlier theme:
It is always funny/amazing to me how picking your wedding date is quite often assumed to be for reasons that do not actually exist (outside of the minds who are obviously egocentric).
Riddle me this: lets say at minimum you have invited 25 people to a wedding. That is 25 people who have differing schedules. Many people opt to invite up to 300 people...imagine those scheduling conflicts. Chances are, the date you choose, will conflict with something/someone. Therefore, typically, brides choose dates for practical reasons like: the dates a venue has availible, or on a weekend, or a less stressful time of year for 9 to 5ers, etc. A lot of times you only end up with a handful of options at best. There will always be people who are unable to attend, no matter how well you plan.
The laughable reasons why ppl thought I picked my wedding date:
*John Lennon's birthday
*the whole, 10/10/10 thing, mine was 10/9/10 (I got this everywhere I went)
*& my favorite: my ex's a year from now is also 10/9
I actually chose my wedding date around my H's ship date, and the fact that my MOH was in a wedding the two weekends before 10/9. (we only had 3 weekends to choose from).
I always read abt girls upset abt when/how their friends schedule their wedding. Here's a hint: it is NOT about you. The world does not stop turning when you pick your wedding date.
Celebrate the marriage, not the wedding day, it's just a day.
end rant.
