An obvious con is that many, many people would not have been able to come to our wedding had it been in the middle of the week. If all of your guests are local and you are having a small wedding, then a Wednesday might work. Neither was the case for me so a Saturday wedding was the right choice for us. A plus would be that you might be able to get a better rate on a venue and food midweek rather than weekend.
@Surgie: Yea I could totally see the guest thing being an issue. We had talked about doing a cruise wedding, at a destination location, so a weekday might work perfect with that! I love the idea of keeping it small because more than likely most of my planning will be while in nursing school. That way if it was on a cruise it would probably be kept to just friends and family.
Our big day is 7/21/2011! Like you, I loved the numbers of that day. It is on a Thursday but I am completely fine with that because we are having a destination wedding in Jamaica and staying for a week. So it doesn't have to be on the weekend.
I'm with the previous poster. As long as your guest list is small and made of local people, it should be a good turnout. If that's not the case, keep an open mind and try not to be disappointed if several guests cannot make it. Vendors should certainly give you a discount since the wedding date would not be on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. That's a good thing!
We got married on a December 1st, which was a Wednesday. We had a destination elopement, so guests not being able to come wasn't an issue for us, but it could be for a traditional wedding.
Cons:
Difficulty for guests to come in the middle of the week.
Pros:
Mid-week wedding are usually less expensive
Easier to find vendors who are available, even at the height of wedding season
Not limited to chosing one of 52 Saturdays available during the year
Less competition for venues
We got married on October 6, 2009, which was a Tuesday. (Because as a same-sex couple, we had to get married in MA, we had to work around the MA waiting period.) However, we invited only a dozen people, immediate family and close friends. Our "big" celebration was our at-home reception, which included only local guests and was on a Friday evening.

My boyfriend and started a casual wedding date conversation last weekend, and he mentioned that he liked the idea of getting married on 12.12.12, but it's on a Wednesday!!
Has anyone else had a weekday wedding? Pros & Cons?
