Chrissy, Eliana, I agree with you...

Alot of people complain about when a wedding is...
as if it is an inconvenience for them...
So that is the reality, that there ARE people who do complain.....

People complain if a wedding is on a holiday weekend, not on a Saturday, etc etc

BUT when it comes down to it, the people who are REALLY important to the two of you will be there and the people that want to share your day will be there and thats all that matters...

right?

You are right indeed!

There are 52 weekends in a year. If there is no discount on holiday weekends, unless there is some special meaning to the date (ie your anniversary is on Memorial Day or whatever) why would you have to choose a holiday weekend. I can see if 80% of your guests were coming in from OOT, that's understandable. But most of us have locals coming to our weddings. I understand it's an important day, but why tie up one of a few extended weekends that we have.

---

The same argument can be made regardless of when a wedding his held. 'Why have it during the summer, the weather is only nice for a short amount of time' 'Why have a wedding during the winter, it might snow....'

Bottom line is that if the guest cares about the couple getting married, they will attend with pleasure and not gripe about the day that the bride and groom chose. The wedding is about celebrating a marriage- on the date chosen by the people getting married. It's not about throwing a party for friends and family on the date that works best for other people...

---

I think in general people don't have a problem with a time of year. But when you tie up a 3 or 4 day weekend people get annoyed. I'm not saying it's right, but it's a fact.

---

i'm getting married Memorial Day weekend and I haven't heard a single complaint yet. My OOT guests are thankful they don't have to take any days off from work, and all of my guests who are locals appreciate that their entire weekend isn't shot because of my weekend. They don't have to work the next day and they still have an extra day to rest and run errands and do whatever they want.

If you find it so problematic to have your long weekend tied up by your cousin's wedding, then you shouldn't attend the wedding. If any of my guests were upset that I spoiled their holiday plans, then I wouldn't want their negative energy at my wedding in the first place.

This totally reminds me of a conversation I had with a friend from college:

Rachel: We're getting married 8/29!
Friend: I think that's the weekend of GenCon (ed. note: GenCon is a Role Playing Convention - the BIG ONE)
Rachel: But, Kev, we're getting married that weekend.
Friend: But... it's GenCon

He came to the wedding (luckily the convention was a different weekend) but I was absolutely DUMBFOUNDED after that...

I've had to travel far for weddings and they weren't even my closest friends - just co-workers...but I did it because I wanted to be there enjoying their special day. I've gone to weddings on Sunday nights and ya know what...I took Monday off so I could enjoy myself. I've been to Sunday weddings on 3 day weekends out of town - did it bother me, not really. You go to a wedding because you care about the person getting married. If you didn't really care, you wouldn't go. A wedding is such an important time in our lives and the lives of our friends & relatives. I chose the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. It's an afternoon wedding and I've heard complaints about how that cuts into people's beach time, I've even heard from a friend of mine that it's her birthday weekend. Is there really ever a convenient weekend for everyone?

I called z100 this morning and the guy tried to make it seem like a big deal that my anniversary would occasionally fall on Thanksgiving. Like it wouldn't be 'special' enough because its sharing a day with a holiday.

Gimme a friggen BREAK!

They just lost a listener.


We deserved an APOLOGY this morning....

I must admit I kind of agree with Danielle on this one. I have to go to a wedding on Memorial Day weekend and I can't go away now. Of course I'm going to go to the wedding because it's my cousin, but it is annoying. JMHO

---

I'm sure she'd love to know your opinion.

If you were MY cousin, you'd be UNINVITED!

oh, and while we're at it....who has a gripe about people that have babies during the week!?!?!

What a huuuuuge inconvenience

Are you kidding me...you can't go away on Memorial Day because you're cousin decided to get married that weekend!!! The nerve of her not asking if it would conflict with anyones plans that weekend. I mean who does she think she is getting married on a holiday weekend.

DON'T GO if you're so annoyed that you can't go away - I sure wouldn't want a FAMILY member of mine at my wedding if they thought I picked the wrong day to get married...grow up

I'm getting married on a holiday weekend and if someone is 'annoyed' because I screwed up there holiday weekend plans - I sure as heck do not need you at my wedding. We chose a holiday weekend because YES it is cheaper - but when you and you're FH are paying for every last stitch of it - you take discounts where you can take them. So if a holiday weekend is cheaper for me to celebrate the most beautiful day of my life - then HELL yes I am getting married on that day - I could care less where your sorry arse wants to be..

---

Damn girl, chill the eff out. She was stating her opinion, why do you care so much what she thinks? You are having your wedding on a holiday weekend, that is your choice, good for you, don't bash her becasue she has an opinion as well, you girl are getting crazy on this website, for real.......

geese... I hate to be related to you!!! That's just plain selfish if you ask me!!!

---

I am speechless at the lack of respect you girls are showing one another. I think alot of you need to do alot of growing up....sorry if I am being so blunt but you girls are going too far.

This isn't the first time Danielle had tried to tell people how it should be...she also stated that men shouldn't propose to the gf on a holiday. As if when you get the ring is as important as if you get it. She pissed me off that day, b/c my fh proposed on Valentine's Day last year, while we were away on vacation.

I wonder if she also had a problem with people dying on or around holidays.

All I was trying to say is that with all the more important things going on in this world, who cares what one girl thinks, there is no need to be nasty to one another. That's all

I am getting married in 18 days, nothing can bring me down, just try to keep everything in perspective

Chrissy I agree with you 100%. I would hate for my relatives to be so petty that they complain about the date of my wedding. Honestly, stefanief, she was just expressing her opinion. I don't think that there's any need to call people childish.

i'm gald i missed this, this person sounds insane! weddings happen on holiday weekends and people travel, often at the same time! why the hell does z100 think they are the authority.

we traveled from farmingdale to east wind and we also traveled from baldwin to aquebogue, no complaints here, and the aqueboque wedding was on a thursday!

i don't get people

actually to be honest that girl is just disrespecting us.. if she has a problem about people getting married on holidays that strongly then she shouldn't post it on a board where there are a ton of holiday brides..and I really don't think we are not 'respecting' any LIW girls here... that person who posted that just signed up to post that..my opinion.. its a Z100 person defending Danielle...not an LIW bride (whom we all respect and love)

I respect your opinion but saying to someone 'I would hate to be related to you' is childish. We are all getting married, we need to act mature and respectful, even if we disagree with each other. That is what being an adult is all about. Sorry but that is JMHO, everyone has theirs and I have mine as well
