You don’t just get married, you want to do it on a special day. In addition to choosing music, food and bridal clothes, the date is also very important. Can everyone attend this wedding date? Is this month suitable? Here is an overview of popular wedding months, wedding days and popular specific dates. Also an overview of wedding anniversaries. The wedding day is one of the most important days in the lives of many people. It’s a day you only experience once, basically. So your wedding day is preferably on a beautiful day, which will be remembered in a pleasant way.
Popular month
The most popular months to get married are in spring and late summer. Then there is the least chance of bad weather. A heavy rain shower, muddy ground, and hail are of course not ideal weather situations and the future spouses try to avoid these.
Most weddings are held in May, June or September and October. In May and June there is the best chance of good weather and the area looks beautiful and fresh. In September and October the fallen, colored leaves create a beautiful scene. That could also be said about December and January, when it often freezes and rains less; especially when photos are taken in the snow. Of course, there is also a risk of slipping during frost.
Popular weekday
Couples prefer to get married on Friday. The end of the working week, the first day off. Monday, on the other hand, is the least popular day, as the week has just started again. Monday is often the day that people dread, as that is when the working week starts again. Only 1% of people get married on Sunday.
Original wedding day
Many couples choose an original wedding day, so that it can never be forgotten. Particularly (triple) double digits do well, such as 12-12-2012, or increasing numbers such as 10-11-2012. In this way, a wedding day can fall on a less favorite weekday, such as a Monday or Sunday. The problem with this data is of course that more people have the same idea and wedding photographers, churches, town halls and the like are quickly built and full.
Care must also be taken to ensure that the wedding date does not fall during the holiday period or on a public holiday. It would also be a shame to plan a wedding day that ultimately no one can attend. This is also why there is a gap between June and September, because the summer holidays are held here and many have gone abroad.
Another popular date is February 14, as it is Valentine’s Day. Marrying is also often done on the day the two met each other or when they started dating or the day of the first courtship.
