We picked our date because he wouldn't get married during football season. Seriously. :)

In all honesty, we picked our wedding date because my fiance is starting grad school two weeks after we get hitched, and it's a week after we finally graduate college! So... not a LOT of time. I wish there was a better story, but really, it's because we're so in love we can't stand the thought of not living together for another year!
We picked our date because it'll be our 8-year dating anniversary. This way, FI can't forget anniversaries, or else he'll be in big trouble! lol
we actually had october 24th in mind. but we found a place we like and had october 3rd so we took it. we really wanted to have it in the fall. we both love the changing of the seasons!
We couldn't getting married during hunting season because no one would show up.

it was on the 5th -- the same day we met -- and it was just enough time for us to plan -- 6 months!
We knew that we would need to get married in the summer because he's a teacher. June 19 is about a week after his school year ends, so we are doing it as early as possible. We didn't want to wait until later in the summer because of the heat, and this way we have the whole summer to be newlyweds :)
@August15bride--our choice was also made around football season. We also liked spring, so May made a lot of sense.
We originally picked NYE, because that's when my husband proposed. But my dad advised to not pick something around the holidays. Instead, my husband suggested we get married in between our birthdays (we were born one week apart) so we could eat cake for a whole week every year! I agreed because I love my husband and cake.
I thought it would be special to get married on my parents' and grandparents' anniversary (6.12) and happens to fall on a Saturday next year. Even better!
FH wanted a fall wedding. His cousin was getting married this August and I didn't want to have it too close to theirs. 25 is our lucky number -- the day we met, our first kiss, our first date, his birthday, etc. so we thought about getting married on a 25. Sept 25th doesn't hold anything special for us (yet!) so we decided to create another memory on a 25.
We knew we wanted to get married in September. And we tossed around a few dates but ultimately our venue only had one date available. Though now I kind of wish we had chosen July or August. I'm getting impatient!
We originally wanted to get married August 21, 2010 (my parents anniversary) but the reception venue was booked. We decided to go with September 25, 2010 instead because autumn is the best thing in Upstate NY.

Our date/season was dictated by our officiant. The mister and I met while attending a Jesuit university where we were both really involved in student life and had a personal relationship with the President of the Univ. The one <span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline">definite thing we wanted was for him to officiate our wedding and we let him dictate what time of the year worked best for his schedule (summer). We then looked into the academic calendar and picked a weekend before any of the students would be moving back on campus.
According to Chinese traditions, the groom's family sets the date. My FMIL had to consult the Chinese lunar calendar to find an auspicious date or "lucky day" to get married. We asked her to pick a Sunday in September, because our venue charges less on Sundays. Lucky for us, an auspicious date fell on Sept. 20. Otherwise, we would have to push the wedding up to August or delay it till November. We couldn't have an October wedding because that was the month a loved one passed away...another Chinese tradition.
We started dating June 26, 2001 and the date will fall on a Saturday next year. Our wedding day will be our 9th anniversary.
We really wanted an October, fall wedding (for the weather) but several of our family members are teachers and with immigration an august/september wedding would have been better. So we switched - I just hope we don't melt!
I am not officially engaged even though we have a date. I never ever do anything for NYE and neither does he so we both thought it would be really cool to have a huge party! I am supposing he'll ask within the next few months and I decided that I'd need enough time to plan the shindig and shop for the post-NYE sales at the beginning of the year.
We *originally* chose 10/10/10, but it just seemed too far away. Sure its only 3 months, but when you live 3000 miles apart-- its an eternity.
So now our date is July 10, 2010. It has the mirroring 10's & has a nice ring to it.
@daniellemybelle - we're date twins!
We chose our date mainly out of practicality. I've always wanted an outdoor wedding and July & August are sweltering in my area. The last weekend of June just proved to be a bad weekend for about half of our guests due to a church function that takes place every year. And the closer to the beginning of the month you get, the more chance you have of cooler weather, and a slight more chance of rain. So I guess it was logistics more than any romantic meaning!
My original date was 11/14. We decided to move up our date to 9/26, as our venue was available and so were the rest of our vendors. The date is 6 days after we got engaged, but otherwise it has no significance.
We have no romantic story as to why we picked the date. I wanted a late Summer or early Fall wedding and my FI wanted to get married in September. We looked for the hall first and when they said they had an opening for our date we took it immediately. It is nice to have the wedding on the date we chose because it is a holiday weekend which gives our guests more time to recover.

I am curious! How and Why did you choose your wedding date? Did you fall in love with the season? Did you pick the date your parents were married, your first kiss, one year from your engagement date? Also, has your season/month dictated your style? I've always wondered how much the season really plays into our choices...
