Mine is President's Day, and also the birthday of one of our closest friends (we are getting him a mini-cake to be served at the reception).

Re: Post fun facts about your wedding date

Just a couple of many interesting things that have happened on May 23rd. I find Bonnie and Clyde to be especially interesting, but not fun (I'm Bonnie - luckily, I'm not marrying Clyde).
