Wedding Date
He - or she - asked, and you
answered in the affirmative! Now's the time to bask in the romance, and enjoy
the first phase of your new life together. But soon, you'll need a response
for that timeless question: “when's the wedding?”. For some couples, it's
easy - they know just when they want to tie the knot. For others, it's less
clear. After all, you have a lot of options. Friday and Sunday afternoons are
good choices too, and less expensive.
“Life” dates
You might find your own life gives more guidance than you think. Are you a
teacher, with set vacation times? If you're working, is your vacation
time limited to a certain time of year? If many guests are flying in, will
Labor Day weekend or Memorial Day weekend give them time to get acclimated and
enjoy your big day? If none of these apply, is there a date that has special
significance to you as a couple, such as the date you first met or first
dated?
“Auspicious” dates
Many people find little extra jolt of comfort in picking auspicious days for
their wedding. In India and China, this is standard practice. But even in the
West, people often find it reassuring to pick numbers or dates with personal
meaning. A Chinese custom is to select a date with as many even numbers as
possible (such as 2-18-2006). The Irish believed that New Year's Eve is
luckiest for weddings. The Romans (and consequently, modern westerners)
favored the month of June. For Victorians, it was lucky to marry on the
groom's birthday.
