I'm stuck on what date to pick for my wedding. I don't want to just pick ANY day... so any ideas?

We chose 3rd August as it was the anniversary of my mothers death as well as my parents wedding anniversary. I wanted to turn a sad day back into the happy day it once was. In a way i felt closer to my mum as though she was with us on this very special day.

First my fiancee and I decided what season we wanted to get married. We choose spring.
Then he said he didn't want March cause it was too cold and it rains too much in April. So we decided on May.
Then we decided to go with a Sunday wedding for a few reasons (First, I am Jewish so doing it on a Sunday is easier because then you don't have to wait until after sundown, second Sunday's and Friday's are much cheaper than Saturdays)
Then we realized that sine I wanted a Sunday evening, it might be better to do it on a holiday weekend so people would already have Monday off.
We wanted the Sunday of Memorial weekend 2008, but then we realized that my sister (the MOH) graduates college May 2008 and his sister (a bridesmaid) graduates college June 2008.
So we chose May 24, 2009
If you want an outdoor ceremony, think about the time of year that you choose. If you live in a state that tends to have very harsh winters, you may want to avoid the winter months. Same if you live in a state that has harsh summers, avoid the summer months. Remember that May, June, July are some of the biggest wedding months, so if you choose one of them, book your facility and vendors early. Spring & Fall tend to be better for weather conditions. Hope this helps
Decide if you want a Friday, Saturday or Sunday wedding. Then decide if you want afternoon or evening.
One popular date for 2009 is 07/08/09 which is a Wed, but people are picking it

Lol...its kinda a long story. We had planned to get married a year from the day we met which would have been 10/26/01. But because my hubby's family was being an a** we decided to elope in Vegas. We hadn't picked a date at all. When we were in New Mexico driving up to Vegas my hubby called to confirm a RSVP he had made online with a local Vegas Chapel. Some how the RSVP online didn't go through but they went ahead and got us down for like the day after next which was Dec. 30th 2000. Honestly I never thought about my wedding date. It was never really that important to me.

My husband and I have the same birthday. It's so cool. I never have to worry about my husband forgetting it. It's in August. I like to spread out my gifts. So in the year you get gifts for Valentines day, then there is 6 months until our birthday in August. Then 2 months til Halloween, the next month is Thanksgiving and the next month is Christmas. So the ideal time was somewhere between Valentines day and our birthday. Thats May/June.
May/June are rather busy. College graduations, mothers day, memorial day w/e, High school graduations, father's day. We wanted to pick a weekend when the most people could make it.
My husband and I have the same favorite number--24. So I flipped through the calendar until I found which months had a 24th on a Saturday. In 2006, that was only the month of June. That happens to be the w/e that isnt one of those previously mentioned special events.
So that was decided! A nice easy number my husband could remember in a month that was half way between Valentines Day and our birthday!

When we got engaged, we decided to look at a date over a year in the future to give us some time to plan. At first we considered the date that we started dating but it happens to be in the middle of the week. So we planned to use the weekend before that date. However, that date conflicted with a religious obligation in my family. So we settled on the following weekend. And it just so happens that we have a great way to remember it: May 3, 2008 (05/03/08) 05+03=08!!

I knew I wanted to get married in the Spring and on a Saturday. May sounded good. So I called around to a couple reception locations that I knew I'd like asking for their availability. Then I called the church and asked what Saturdays they had available in May. After I discovered that both the hall and the church were available Memorial Day weekend, I booked them. So I'm getting married May 24th, 2008. Doesn't have any particular special meaning, but it'll be our wedding anniversary and will become special.
I suggest picking the season you want to get married, whether you want flowers blooming, snow falling, or colored leaves and go from there. Then see halls and churches are available.

I would recommend giving yourselves at least a year. I had a year and a half and was able to get so much done before hand so I was able to relax the week before my wedding.
People pick days such as milestones (of your first date, first kiss), an anniversary (yours, parents, grandparents) or a date the is easily remembered.
We got married on the same day as we started dating because I thought it was romantic and my husband said it would be easier to remember.
Good luck!

We wanted to get married in the Summer on the beach. We also didn't want it to be 110 outside! So we are having it the first weekend in June and it happened to be a easy date to remember next year 06-07-08!! We have also heard of 2 other couples doing it this day because of the date!!
Best wishes in planing your special day!

We wanted New Year's Eve--that's a very special time for us, plus I went to a New Year's wedding, and it was just so wonderful, & I love the winter. Well, we couldn't make it happen on that date, so we tried to find another that would work--it had to be winter because fiance's business is least busy then and we needed to time it around some other things, and we settled on 2/23/08.
No matter what date you choose, the fact that it's your wedding date automatically makes it special.

Well I had my heart set on a date but ya know that does not always work out. We have a lot of friends getting married next year, so I just started calling places and see what they had opened. After that everything fell into place, getting married June 21 the first day of summer it is perfect was going to do Labor Day weekend.
I had nine months to plan end everything is working out.

We wanted May 17, the day we met. Well, we graduate from graduate school that day. Then I wanted June 7 because I though 06/07/08 was cool. Well, the pastor had a conference. We had to move and be back from the honeymoon in case I got a job right after graduation (my fiance is going on for a Ph.D), so it had to be fast. We moved it to May 31.
Not terribly romantic, but it's how we had to do it. :)
