FYI re: Jewish wedding planning

in response to the Yom Kippur question,
I am posting the days when Jewish weddings and all other celebrations are prohibited:
if you consult a Hebrew calendar, you will be able to find when these dates fall.

on Shabbat (Friday anytime and Saturday before sunset)
Rosh Hashanah
Yom Kippur
Sukkot
Passover
Shavout
During the counting of the Omer (the 7 weeks from Passover to Shavout, excluding Lag B'Omer--although after that Lag b'omer (the 33rd day of the omer) it is ok to get married for liberal Jews)

The 3 weeks from the 17th of Tammuz tro the 9th of Av (because we are in mourning for the destruction of the ancient Temple in Jerusalem)

the following fast days:
Tisha b'Av
10th of Tevat
17th of Tammuz
Fast of Gedalia (3rd of Tishrei)
Fast of Esther ( 3rd of Adar)
