Becomine engaged is an exciting time. First you accept. The
you tell everyone. Well, what's next? It is time to set the
date! Setting the date to your wedding is not only
important, it is one of those things that makes it all feel
real. The day you get married is a day you will remember
forever. It will be the day that you celebrate every year.
With this in mind, realize you must pick a date you can
live with. When choosing your date there are many things to
consider. Some of the basics include what part of the year
you want to get married in (or celebrate yearly), if there
are any conflicts with your date and if you have enough
time to prepare your wedding by that date. All dates are
not created equal. There are some dates you may choose to
avoid. It may seem obvious, but planning a wedding can be
stressful or exciting and sometimes we don't put all of our
effort into picking a date which we can plan our wedding by
and that we will be forever happy with.
Holidays
Some people want to get married on holidays but most people
choose to avoid these dates. If you do not want to share
the spotlight you may want to avoid a holiday wedding,
especially a major holiday such as Valentine's Day or
Christmas. Your guests may not be happy with you if you
plan a holiday wedding and they have to spend their holiday
with you instead of participating in their normal holiday
customs, whether they are romantic plans for holidays such
as Valentine's Day or Sweetest Day or more family oriented
such as during Thanksgiving or Christmas.
Birthdays or Anniversaries
You may want to avoid having your wedding on birthdays or
anniversaries of close friends or family members. If you do
choose a date which is important to someone else you may
want to consider how other people might feel about you
getting married on a certain date. If you really want to
use a date that is someone's anniversary or birthday you
should clear it with that person first. Talk to them and
explain why you want to marry on that date and ask for
their blessing.
Other Days
There are countless days that you may want to avoid, days
that are personal to individual families as well as the
general public. If your grandparents are deceased you may
want to avoid the date of their death or even their
birthdays, marrying on one of their birthdays may bring up
bad memories or just the feeling of loss - something you do
not want on your wedding day. You may want to avoid days
like Pearl Harbor day or even the day Kennedy was shot. To
be able to avoid painful days for the family you need to
know them, listen to what they do or do not want. Days to
avoid are really individual to each wedding and family. If
you family or his has war veterans you may want to avoid
days that are significant to those wars If your mother is
an avid Elis fan or your sister had a shrine to Kurt Cobain
growing up would probably avoid the dates of their deaths
plus any other dates significant to them.
Still not sure?
Pick the wedding date and ask your family what they think.
Find out if there are ary problems or concerns from family
members. Address what comes up. Then decide if you will go
forward with that date or see if you need to reconsider.
