Wedding Date
He - or she -
asked, and you answered in the affirmative! Now's the time to bask
in the romance, and enjoy the first phase of your new life together.
But soon, you'll need a response for that timeless question:
“when's the wedding?”
For some couples, it's easy - they know just when they want to tie
the knot. For others, it's less clear. After all, you have a lot of
options.
“Life” dates
You might find your own life gives more guidance than you think. Are
you a teacher, with set vacation times? If you're working, is your
vacation time limited to a certain time of year? If many guests are
flying in, will Labor Day weekend or Memorial Day weekend give them
time to get acclimated and enjoy your big day? If none of these
apply, is there a date that has special significance to you as a
couple, such as the date you first met or first dated?
“Auspicious” dates
Many people find little extra jolt of comfort in picking auspicious
days for their wedding. In India and China, this is standard
practice. But even in the West, people often find it reassuring to
pick numbers or dates with personal meaning. A Chinese custom is to
select a date with as many even numbers as possible (such as
2-18-2006). The Irish believed that New Year's Eve is luckiest for
weddings. The Romans (and consequently, modern westerners) favored
the month of June. For Victorians, it was lucky to marry on the
groom's birthday.
