    we were origionally going to get married on the 31st august which is my birthday and also the date we got engaged so held some significance to us but if we had got married on that date we would have missed our little boys first day at primary school as we would have been on honeymoon soo we decided to go for the 29th september which is exactly 5 and a half years from when we first met :) yes it would have been alot nicer if it was exactly 5 years or 6 years but 5 years was too soon and 6 was too far away to wait lol so yeh....does your day hold any significance? a birthday, anniversaire or something else? x

    Ours came about because me and my h2b are only the same age for 20 days of the year, and he wanted to be married when we were both the same age. We needed a saturday because my dad works away during the week and so there were only two dates we could do and the first saturday was bank holiday weekend, so we went for the second saturday instead and ended up with Saturday 30th August 2014 xx

    We just wanted it to be next year, in the summer, and not on Robs birthday, after that it was just a case of seeing when the venue was available and what flights we could get.

    Yes, Halloween is awesome and it's an excuse to have a huge party each year. Also, as a practising Wiccan, it falls on my favourite holiday (Samhain celebrations are amazing and loads of fun)

    As an added bonus, it's outside of peak wedding season and I love autumn best of all.

    not really, it had to be between monday and friday due to the terms of the prize, so weekends were out, then we wanted it so people with kids wouldnt have a problem getting them out of school, so had to be in some school holidays, then hubbys sister was going camping all week except the thursday and friday of the week we got married, so we went for the friday (summer holidays seemed sooo far away at the time and now we're nearly at the end of them!)

    Orginally we werent bothered on the date and just wanted to get married so were looking for out of season dates so cheaper but our venue didn't offer discount for out of season so made no difference in price. We then decided on summer holidays as my dad lives abroad so means my half brother and sister can come so not at school so picked august then realised 10th August which is the day we met fell on a Saturday so picked that date... so will be marrying 9 years to the date we met and our first year wedding anniversary will also be 10 years together xxx

    WE originally had said we would like to get married on an easy date to remember like 10/10/2010.... When we came to book, we realised we would end up with a winter wedding - 12/12/12 which neither of us wanted to we picked September as a month and just the date they were available!

    Ours is just for practical reasons, it couldn't be this year because the Olympics took up a large amount of our and our friends' time, and 2014 was just too far away, we're both self-employed in the same line of work, h2b has a couple of annual big jobs that take up his summer from early July to early September, and our busy season starts at the end of September, the rest of the year is awkward and unpredictable for everyone, so realistically we had 3 dates we could do that would let most people come without missing work, only 2 would mean we wouldn't be missing work on our mini-moon, and one of them was one of my friend'd 30th birthday, I'd have felt like a right cow getting married then!

    I'd have liked to get married in April, cherry blossoms mean a lot to us (h2b has a cherry blossom tree on his arm from before we met, I love the symbolism and our early relationship had a lot of walking around the park with the trees blowing!) But given both our birthdays are in March, it felt a bit like everything would happen at once, I like having my things top look forward to spread out over the year!

    We met in October but we're getting married in March because that's when we moved in together. Moving in is an important date for us because when we met we were living 4 hours away from each other. So moving in really brought us together. We weren't really bothered about the date in March as long as it was a Saturday, our venue was booked on the 23rd so we went with the 30th. Making our wedding date 30/03/2013.

    Plus March is much sooner than October lol

    Plus its bank hol weekend aswell which is a bonus as the close family & friends that will take the fri off get 4 days off work!

    Our wedding date is 5th June, the date we got together. For ages I've always thought "I'm so used to celebrating our 'getting together' anniversary, it's going to be really weird doing it on a different date all of a sudden" - then when we decided we wanted to get married abroad in the summer it just made sense to go for that date :-) although I've realised it'll be our 13th anniversary so I'm trying not to be superstitious, lol!

    I wanted to marry before I was 30, and be on my honeymoon for my 30th so I don't have to have a party! This settled the month for us (May), then it was down to choosing a date, we went for the bank holiday weekend as we have guests travelling to us and thought it might be fun to make it a whole weekend thing. We couldn't have the Saturday as the town we're getting married has a huge parade, so we went for the Friday (we checked first that our guests would be happy to take the day off), then we can all get together on that Saturday for breakfast to watch the parade, then Sunday is a drop in day at home. So, nothing sentimental, more military planning!

    we picked ours because it doesn't fall within football season! hahaaha! actually we bought our house on 12Oct and just by fluke he proposed the next year on 12Oct and we were going to have 12Oct this year just as it was the first date that popped into our head after the Olympics timings - but due to venue availability we could only get 11Oct. 11-10-12 or if american which we are not - 10-11-12 :) but that is just fluke too!

    yes, 26th august is my nans birthday and also it would have been my nan and granddads wedding anniversary aswel. my granddad was basically my dad and together my nan and granddad helped bring me and my brother up. may aswel have been my dad. and if he was still alive now he would be walking me down the isle and giving me away. so we're getting married on that day to honour them. x
