FH was reading an online article last night, and showed me this morning. Because St Patty's is on a Monday next year, it's during Holy week. So it was moved to Saturday March 15, so yes, we're getting married on St Patty's Day.....
That is soooooooooooooo wonderful!!! If I had known that - we would've done that!!!

Just did a little more investigating. Apparently it's just the move is just for the official religous aspects of the holiday. Secular observance, i.e. parades and parties and commercial recognition will remain it's original date of the 17th. So, unless you religously observe St. Patty's day, all is the same. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070718/ap_on_re_eu/ireland_st_patrick_s_day

Yea, Monday isn't a holy day, but it is the beginning of Holy Week. Catholics should not be celebrating a Saint during this time, rather reflect and remember what sacrifices Jeses made for us.
Sorry if I got too religious for some people, I know it's impolite to talk about politics and religion

I don't think it has happened a lot. Because Easter moves from date to date (as well as april and march), Holy Week and St. Patrick's Day almost never line up. It was done in 1940--moved to April 3, but Irish clergymen are requesting it stays as close to March 17 as possible.
