Hi im planning to get married on late 2012 or early 2013. is it a good date for wedding. Who know the auspicious wedding dates 2012 or 2013?

I don't think the date you get married matters so much as the work that you put into your marriage.  So pick a date that works well with you and your family/friends.

But then again I got married on May 21st last year--the day the world was supposed to end so maybe I'm just a little biased.

I know a lot of Asian cultures put a lot of emphasis on auspicious days, Vita. You shouldn't discount that this poster is a part of that.

OP, I just googled and found a lot of information, so I would try there.  I would also try under the Cultural Weddings area found on your left.

She made no mention of it in her post, so there was no way to have known that without checking her posting history.

If it's a cultural thing, I absolutely understand.  But there are also lots of brides that freak out over finding the perfect date when in reality, it may not exist.

No, she didn't. It's just something I'm aware of. But if you read her post, it's clearly got non-native speaker syntax. It just made me take a moment to think about what her background is before responding.

I picked my date simply because it was convenient for us (after my FSD's graduation and before she goes off to college).  My sister picked hers (which is on a Thursday) ONLY for the date...10-11-12.  Different things matter to different people

I work with many chinese and indians and their auspicious dates were picked with heavy influence from their families.  I'm not saying the OP's background may not be one with a culture of auspicious dates, but the post leads me to believe that she might be thinking it's a "fun thing to do."

I agree with asking a cultural wedding board or googling around.  I'd also ask your family.

I Googled it. You could just add in your culture when you search. Auspicious dates for Chinese weddings: http://mymarriagewebsite.com/auspiciousmarriagedatesin2012yearofthedragon/

I'm also going to assume that it's a cultural thing because I've never heard someone from the US say "auspicious" and I heard it constantly when I was in India. I apologize if I'm wrong.

Indians weddings revolve around the Auspicious dates.  Normally you go to your priest (or whatever they are) and they give you the date based on a bunch of different bits of information.

I have heard of auspicious days (for instance, my Chinese grandmother died on a "good" day when the moon was very bright and large; we have a picture of the moon on the night that she died in my parents' living room.) When my cousin got married, she asked my grandparents about the auspicious dates and picked accordingly. We did not pick our wedding date in accordance with that tradition but we're having a very mixed marriage- Chinese, Puerto Rican, Italian, German, a little bit of Native American...however, according to the Chinese zodiac, we are a good match and I won't lie, it's kind of nice to see something like that, a kind of cultural affirmation? My FI is a dragon and 2012 is the Year of the Dragon and a good time for big changes! There is a certain science to picking an auspicious day involving the bride and groom's date of birth and time, etc. If the OP is interested in calculating the best days for her and FI, it might be better to consult someone with experience in astrology.
