I let FI pick our wedding date and it has no significance to us, whatsoever. He wanted to get married on Friday the 13th. Wouldn't have it any other way. Plus, he wanted it to be in the summertime. So, July 13th it is! We didn't meet in July, nothing special happnened in July, it's just pointless. I keep feeling like this is going to affect my marriage in some crazy way, or something. Maybe I'm being crazy, myself! Anybody else have a meaningless date?
We *were* going to have a "meaningless" wedding date, but then after we had already picked it, the Catholic Church announced (we're Catholic) that it's going to be the feast day of Pope John Paul! So I thought that was pretty awesome.
Yes. Ours is still up in the air between August 25 or 26th, based on when it is cheapest to fly to Hawaii lol.
@Pinksapphire: I'd think that most people have "meaningless" wedding dates. Ours was just a Saturday in the summer that worked for us and our venue. Now it's significant because it's the day we got married!
My date has no special significance to me yet (it will after the wedding of course!) We got engaged on New Year's Eve, and after waiting so long for the proposal I knew I wanted to get married within the year. His mom desperately wanted me to wait til next spring, but I wasn't having it. I had originally thought September, but people told me that it would still be too hot (I live in Florida). My brother's birthday is in the middle of October so I wanted it to be after that, which is how we ended up with October 30.
Our only "meaningful" date is September 11 so yeah.... I think we will go with something meaningless!
I only really though of avoiding the important dates of others I am close to, such as birthdays.
Ours is meaningless, mainly because we had to accommodate the schedules of FIs family - they eliminated the first 7 dates we picked because of schedule conflicts (who has that much scheduled more than a year in advance?) I really wanted 10/15/11, since it would have been the anniversary of our engagement, but no go. It came down to when his immediate family could make it and when the venue was available.
However, I don't mind, it may be meaningless now, but come October 30th, it will be pretty damn meaningful!
Well, now I don't feel so bad, I guess. It's just that a lot of people in my family picked a day that had some signifcance to them. Like, the anniversary of the day they met or something.
We picked ours based on when the cruise we want to do for our honeymoon would be cheapest 
Ours is meaningless, other then I liked the way the numbers looked (all even numbers, all divisable by 6). It's a few days after the date we met, and a little more than a week before our dating anniversary (7/11). I would have loved to get married on 7/11, but it's a wednesday next year and I wasn't going to wait years for it to fall on the right day of the week. So, 6/30 it is - will have a great meaning for me from now until the rest of my life!
We picked ours based on when my in-laws were able to travel to the USA to be there for the wedding. :)
I chose September because the weather is awesome and my hair won't be frizzy! I first chose our regular anniversary 9/15 but that date was taken. I pushed it back a week to 9/22 and figure it'll hopefully be a bit cooler and even better! I choose good weather or a significant date.
Our is completely meaningingless. We wanted May (which was fully booked over a year in advance) so we went for the last available Saturday date in April at our venue. It's three years, one month and two weeks after our first date, but that's hardly a major miletone.
We had an outdoor ceremony, so we picked May because the weather would be nice, but not too hot yet. The day is now significant, which is what I think is important. :)
Ours was picked so people would have some free days to count towards there trip for our DW since it's on Easter weekend. It is meaningless, but not anymore :)
Ours is also meaningless. It was just the easiest. It's holiday weekend for the Canadian out of country-ers and it worked with the military and immigration timelines we've been given. Hopefully that's the date it stays.
I would have loved to have had a "ber" wedding (September, October, Novemeber, December) with a "cleaner" number just because it sounds nicer and I'm a bit fickle about things like that but it was not in the cards. May 19th hasn't grown on me yet, but I'll learn to love it.
Mine has no meaing at all. originally we were going to do our anniversary, but that would be memorial day weekend, skip. the three weeks prior all have close birthdays that we didn't want to steal with our wedding date. one of my BM's is the MOH in a wedding the weekend after our anniversary, so we went with two weekends after! June 10th it is
None whatsoever. We picked a Saturday in the fall, and were careful to steer clear of birthdays and holidays.
Ours was picked based on the venue's availability. We just knew we wanted July. I was hoping for the 24th but it was booked so we settled for the 17th.
puddingpop: we chose ours for that exact reason too!
originally we wanted it in january, but my little bro and his missus are having their first baby, and i really didnt want them to miss out or be uncomfortable. and then our photographer had this date avaliable. I dont think you have to have a date tht is meaningful, because forever after it will be meaningful!
Completely meaningless. It was one of the only times that worked with our work schedules while it was warm out so we could have it outdoors in our backyward :)
Ours is meaningless we wanted something not close to anything else for the sake of our guests and our money. LOL
Ours is totally, completely meaningless lol
Although we do think its cool that eventually our date will be on Friday the 13 :D
I leaned toward our date because I thought it would be easy for FI to remember and we both like the fall.Then we found out after we picked the date that it is the same date as his mom and stepdad's anniversary, so that is cool.
Ours isn't a specialy day for us at all (yet!) - we knew we wanted December because we'll be on winter break, I wanted to avoid my older brother's birthday (10th) and didn't want to get too close to Christmas, so, December 3rd it is!
@SadieBee: I just want to say... I have never seen this before. As I clicked on this thread, your reply says "0 seconds ago."
cool!
(ok, I know that was dumb... sorry for everyone whose time I wasted cuz you read that! ;-) )
@joy2011:LOL - glad you were amused, I haven't seen that before either :)
Ours is meaningless.... we picked it because 7/7 is really easy to remember!
Ours has no special meaning to us. We picked it because that was the week we could both get off work for vacation. LOL
It just so happens to be one of my very good friend's birthdays tho!
Yeah ours is meaningless... I wanted Oct (just b/c I like the fall and didn't want the same month as my sister's bday), but then we found that hotel prices were ALOT cheaper in Nov. Since I wasn't comfortable making my guests pay $500 for a room we went with the first week in Nov.
I had originally picked a complete meaningless date. I wanted a July wedding. We had to pick the first2 weeks of the month because we are taking a 5 week honeymoon. As we are both teachers, we wanted a couple of weeks after the honeymoon to come home, relax and gear up for another school year. So his church (he is Orthodox) informaed us either weekends in July we could do, were saints days and we were not allowed to be married on those days. I am not Orhtodox so I had no idea what the deal was. But we ended up changing the date to June, 30th. That is the day my grandparents got married. I'm actually not sure whether I like or dislike the fact that my wedding date now has"meaning". I think that in reality, it's just a day that WILL be special regardless of is previous significance or insignificance because it is YOUR WEDDING DAY!
Hah, we originally picked ours by pointing at the calendar, saying "this is good", and making sure no graduations or other things conflicted.
Later we found out his grandmother's anniversary is that day. Which was pretty neat to find out, since he's the first grandchild to get married, but total coincidence.
@Pinksapphire: ours was completely random. We originally wanted to get married in September (even though our dating anniversary is in January) but Sept wasn't available and only August was. That's how it was decided!
Yep, as meaningless as they get!!! Oh but it is the day before my nephews birthday! haha
YUP completely meaningless. But that's what I like about it. It will hold amazing value and meaning in the future :)
We picked ours based on the fact that we wanted a July wedding (FI is a h.s. teacher) and it was the only weekend available at our sestiation resort. Also, since we are having a destination wedding, we wanted to pick a week that most people would already want to take off (i.e. 4th of July).
