    Hi,
    I was just wondering how other B2B's are choosing your wedding date. I checked today and both the dates I was considering are available. Argh! I narrowed our dates down to the date we met and the date H2B proposed to me but I am open to other dates at the moment. xXx

    I'm having my late grandad's birthday. It was originally gonna be another date but our venue didn't have it so they gave us the option of the 7th or 21st July. I think it was meant to be. I was really close to my grandad and I think its fitting to share my big day with him in some way. xx

    We chose a date that suited us both. I'm a teacher so can only get married at Christmas, Easter or the Summer. I don't want a Christmas wedding as my friend had this a few years back. I can't stand being too hot so the summer was out. That left a Spring wedding and we wanted a long weekend as people have to travel down so chose Easter Saturday

    We decided to get married in Vegas and originally went for mid October but then we wanted to head off into the sunset (so to speak) on a Harley Davidson for 4 nights round the Grand Canyon and after a bit of research established that it was too late in the year to do this as in some parts (higher ground) there maybe snow - clearly not great for being on motorbike!
    So we brought it forward to Sept so it'll be fine and warm enough round the Canyon, but not so hot that we'll all pass out for the Vegas bit.

    No sentimental reasons more practical. We want a christmas wedding, but not too close to christmas that people that live far away find it financially tight to travel down to us. Also we want to take our kids to disney florida for our familymoon during the christmas festivities. xxx

    We wanted ours to be a summer wedding and thought 6 months after we got together (Dec 16th) would be nice. So we checked but June 16th was unavailable, the 15th being a Friday meant we didn't get exclusivity at our venue so we took the last saturday in June next year and that is how we ended up with June 23rd 2012

    Best of luck picking your date xxx

    Ha! Quite a mixture of reasons. Love them all. Some very practical reasons. I'm hoping to book our date in the next week or so. Originally I wanted July because my daughter will be off school and because there's a chance we could have half decent weather. lol Now considering moving the date forward a little to fit into another school holiday. Thanks for all the input ladies. :)

    mine was based on teachers needing it to be summer holidays to allow enough time for a 2 week holiday if they want it and the summer holiday sate is pretty generic and it couldnt be too near sept for me as will be having a busy time with a new reg month at work and i wanted good weather :D the actual date didnt really matter to me all that much xx

    We just narrowed it down to a rough time of year, checked what packages were available and went from there. Really pleased we got August (more chance of good weather) as I didn't think we would.

    we picked our date based around it being out of school holidays and the best time to honeymoon in florida so narrowed it down to may, then the venue had friday 29th may or friday 13th and we decided we wanted to be different and 13 has always been lucky in my family xx

    We picked our date as I'm a teacher and he's a lecturer. We were originally going to have mid-August, but then thought that the last few August's we have had have been more miserable weather wise that July. So having it 27th July, thats a week after school breaks up, so we have time to organise stuff, and still in July.
    Knowing our luck we'll probably have some freak weather on the day though! Tornado anyone!! (we have had some bad luck so think we are jinxed!)

    We decided on ours (17/10/2012) for a few different reasons. Our venue is a lot cheaper during the week and since we are on a tight budget we wanted a mid week autumn wedding, secondly my bridesmaid and several members of my h2b's family are teachers and the week we have chosen is the only week the holidays overlap between all the different councils they work for and thirdly, my grandma passed away in July last year and her birthday was the 17th Oct so for all these reasons our chosen date just seemed perfect for us xx

    We decided September as I didn't want to melt in the heat of summer (hmmm maybe I shouldn't worry about that in the UK lol) and thought that it would be cooler but still nice. It just so happened that the venue we picked had the 17th free which lands on my h2b's birthday making it a double celebration and something we will never forget. We were pretty felxible on the date though which really helps when finding a venue.

    my friend got married on 08/08/08 as 8 is her lucky number!! we've chosen either 25 (sat) or 26 (sun) august 2012 as that is the bank holiday of august so most people should have that weekend off regardless, and they'll also have the monday off too, so gonna see what the price difference is between having the sat or the sun!x

    We originally wanted it in November, but because my H2B has set hoildays, we decided to do it on the anniversary of our first date (08.08.11) which also happens to be my parents wedding anniversary...............going to talk my dad into arranging for them to have their vows renewed after our ceremony as they're now coming to Vegas to make sure they get rid of me and i think that would be really sweet.
