How did/do/will you set your wedding date?

Wow! You guys put a lot of thought into it.
We got married on Memorial Day (U.S.) because we had the day off. The weather was nice. And we would have half a chance of remembering our Anniversary. But, since Memorial Day is celebrated on the last Monday of May, we still get it wrong most of the time. Oh well!

Wow you really put a lot of thought into it! We thought a spring wedding would be pretty, so we looked at April. We then thought that April 22 looked like a nice date, so we decided on that, except it happened to be the day before Easter. So, we moved it back a week, and got married on April 29. Not much thought went into it, we just kind of closed our eyes and pointed to a date

Didn't put much thought into it. Just knew we wanted to get married some Saturday in the summer time.

Picked July 1st because it worked best with our families schedules.

We got married the day after Paul's birthday, and the day before the matron-of-honor's birthday - so it was like a holiday weekend for the family!

Tim & had known each other for years....so when we first started dating we didn't have to go through the period of getting to know each other & the family stuff (his sister and I are good friends). Our first date was Memorial day 1989.

We then took a trip on July 4th (his birthday!) to San Diego - where he told me he loved me for the first time.

We got engaged that October, and married on February 17, 1990. Yes, fast I know.

We actually wanted to get married on Valentine's day, but my dear sweet mother (we don't talk now - but not because of this) told us that was too "cheesey" Nice mom, huh?! So we moved the wedding to the saturday which happened to be the 17 - just like this year!!

So we celebrate our anniversary & Valentine's day together, and we all celebrate Tim's birthday on the 4th of July!!

My birthday is always the week after Thanksgiving, so we have things all planned out!!

We have no idea! When I was married before, we didn't put too much thought into it, either...we got married on September 10th. I've heard David mention the fall, but I don't really care personally.

LOL We got married August 22nd. It was the first monday after we got our marriage license. the courts aren't open on the weekends so we did it the first available day.... Monday. It was really a spur of the moment kind of thing. We went on the Friday to get our license, went back on Monday and were married.

I always thought I wanted the big wedding with the dress and the cake and the celebration but now that it's done and over and I see my sister stressing over her wedding I couldn't be more pleased that we did it so quick and simple.

it worked out because the 22nd of the month is easy for me to remember My birthday is June 22nd. My neices birthday is Sept 22nd and my dads birthday is November 22nd. I don't remember things so well so having it end up on the 22nd was a blessing in disguise LOL now it's easy for me to remember.

lolllllllll.. Well we were sort of the same thing.. We moved here may 20th- and I told my husband the house would be ready ( we got married at the house- ).. We had family that was coming from Minnesota- so the wedding was planned when everyone could get here- Alias July 3rd! lol.

My honey wanted to make sure that he would never forget our anniversary, so it was important to pick a date that could stick in his brain.

We flipped open the calendar - started looking at dates of the Saturdays in June-September, and there it was. July 27th.

7-2-7... just like the airplane

Cute! We did the same thing almost.
We got married on May 24th because we thought that it would always be close to the holiday and we'd have a better chance to celebrate long weekends.... almost 5 years now!
