Why did you choose your wedding date?

Original post by kaw2be

We knew our wedding would be in 2014 because I still have one more year of nursing school and knew it would be too much for me to plan a wedding during school. We also liked 2014 since we are paying for 75% of the wedding ourselves and want to start saving for a house at the same time so it gives us over 2 years to do all that. We started looking at Saturday nights in October and when we realized it was just as expensive as September, we changed our month and randomly just chose the date. So that's the story of how we picked September 27, 2014.

What's your story? How did you and your FI pick your wedding date??

I like this thread!

We're both European and very supersticious - 13 is both of our 'bad luck' numbers, we refused to get married in 2013. Nothing against it for other people, just a personal thing.



I am italian and THIS was the only reason why I was not as upset about moving to 2014!! haha



I'm Italian too...isn't 13 supposed to be good luck for Italians? lol

Stinebean - I think the idea of a cake is really sweet!



FH is Portuguese, and I'm Italian. I don't know if the number 13 is good or bad to Italians specifically, I just meant Europeans are generally very supersticious. FH and I have our own individual beliefs and 13 is a bad omen for us.

I think each family has their own superstitions. My family specifically sees lillies as a bad omen, a sign of bad fortune or death. I'm so mad because I love lillies & wish I could use them in my bouquet but my family is stuck on that belief!



Yea for many italians it is lucky. I meant since my family is italian they are VERY superstitious. We were never allowed to go out a different door then the one we came in, my dad was always sticking forks in the front lawn for good weather lol all those typical things most people thing is silly. Personally my family has had a bunch of deaths on the 13th and 25th so it has become a bad omen to do anything with these numbers. Nonno Sal would not approve haha

That sucks with the lilies! They are my absolute favorite. My family specifically hates RED roses and thinks they are the flower of death..but I personally don't like them so I'm ok with it. It is interesting how everyones family has different quirks and beliefs.

We picked 9/26/14 due to sentimental reasons... 26 is our lucky number... we started dating on 3/26/02, got engaged on 6/26/12 and 9/26 seems to go with the 26 theme... plus its a perfect time of year and a Friday night. Can't beat it



I think that is very cute!! Nice to have such meaning behind your date!
