    I talked to my grandmother about my wedding but I don't think I mention the date. I'm not offical engaged yet. But I chosen 9.10.11 as our wedding date. My grandmother passed away this past November. My sibilings and I are kind of the black sheep of the all my cousins since our parents got divorced. I found out my grandparents date of the date I already wanted. I booked a venue since it is a desireable date. But I am afraid to ask my grandfather since he may get upset.

    I think she was trying to say that her Grandparents were married on 9.10?  Maybe?

    I originally wanted to get married on my grandparent's wedding day.  I figured it was a good omen, they were married 50 yrs.  If your grandparents were married on 9-10  I think maybe your grandfather would like it?

    Thanks, I hope so. I just don't want to bring pain since It wouldn't be a year after my grandmothers passing

    I don't see anything wrong with it.  My dad and his brother were both married on the same day (different years of course) and i don't think they were bothered by it.

    I think that it would be a nice honor for your grandmother and your grandfather for you to get married on that day. I do think that you should have a talk with your grandfather though and let him know about your date before you announce it to the rest of the family. Just let him know that it would be nice way to include a rememberance of your grandmother on your wedding day.

    I would think they would see it as a nice gesture.

    I'm so jealous, I would LOVE to get married on my grandparents' anniversary date as I loved them dearly and they were married for 64 years before my grandpa died.  However, their anniversary is 12/31 and a NYE wedding is definitely not what I want.  I think your grandpa would be flattered and it might make that day a lot easier for him by passing the baton on, so to speak.

    i don't think there is anything wrong with sharing a wedding anniversary with grandparents. we are getting married 9/24 which is FI's grandparents anniversary and they were over the moon when we told them, we are even getting them their own little cake on our day.

    It actually sounds like a really sweet gesture, like you're paying homage to your grandparents' marriage. Your grandpa might get emotional, but I don't think he would be emotional in a bad way.

    i think it sounds very sweet to get married on their wedding day! i would make sure to put a note in the programs, and maybe do a special dance with your grandfather. i'm sure he will be happy to share :)

     I don't see that as a negative thing at all. It's not like they got a divorce and it's a painful memory.

    The date isn't what is weird to me, sounds nice actually what is weird to me is how you've booked a venue and you're not engaged.

    I guess to each their own...

    I know it's not the norm but we won a free dinner at the venue the same weekend my grandmother passed. So we both took it as a sign
