  Not rude, just understand that people may not make it because it's a Sunday.  Mine is also a Sunday (we didn't want another anniversary to remember, so we're getting married on our 8 year dating anniversary).  Ours is basically a destination wedding as well since everyone (including us) is traveling at least a state away to get there.  I figured if people want to come, they'll treat it as a destination wedding and get the necessary time off.  I know all of my family at least is staying the week after anyway for a vacation. 
  
  So, if a Sunday wedding is what you want, go for it.  People will find problems with any date you choose.

  Well either way I think your cousin is rude, even if your wedding was on a Wednesday it's none of her business and if she doesn't want to take time off work then she doesn't have to go.

  
  

  Our wedding is on a Saturday and I really didn't want it on any other day because it IS more convenient for most people and guests are more likely to stay later at the reception.

  
  

  But more and more couples are choosing Friday and Sunday weddings so I wouldn't worry about it.

  It's your wedding and I think whatever day you decide to have it is your choice.  As long as you give people enough notice (which is sounds like you are) then I think you're fine.  I actually think it's harder to get a Friday off than a Monday because people like to start their weekends early.

  We wanted ours on a sunday but my church says they don't have sunday weddings because they said it is the "Lords day" and they don't want anything bigger than Sunday mass and plus they have baptisms in the afternoon, which we wanted our mid afternoon.However we had friends who got married on Sunday and it was also a Catholic Church so I dont know why it is different with other churches, so we changed it now to Saturday...Wish it could have been sunday because we would have saved some money.

  I don't think Sunday weddings are rude. The way I see it, not everyone works Monday-Friday. If I were to do my wedding right now, based on my work schedule, Tuesday would be the best day of the week for me. Also, if someone's wedding was on a weekend and I got the invite to go (again, right now) I wouldn't be able to go. You can't take everyone's work/school/life schedule into account. Just recognize that not everyone will be able to make it whether because of work, religious or any other reason. You'll have people who will do whatever it takes to be there. You give appropriate notice and they act accordingly.
  
  Also, I would assume Mondays would be easier to take off since almost everyone always asks for Fridays off.

  Well personally I rather have a Monday off work over a Friday cause lets face it Fridays are usually lax anyways...

  We're getting married on a Sunday. Most of our guests are in town, though, so it's not a big deal. We're also having an afternoon wedding and we're not serving alcohol so our guests could totally go back to work on Monday.
  
  Get married on the day you like. As long as the most important people in your life can be there, I think that's what really matters.

  We're doing the same thing as Ally. We started dating on July 1st and didn't want another date to remember. It's kind of funny because it will be our 8 year anniversary as well.
  
  I have gotten a few comments about our wedding being on a Sunday, but if they don't want to be there for us that's fine. The people that complained are the people that complain about everything no matter what so it doesn't bother me.
  
  We aren't doing a destination wedding though. Everyone lives close and I will understand if people leave early so they can get up for work the next morning.
