How did you decide on your wedding date?

Our wedding date was chosen because it is special to us. We started dating on May 1st and then we looked and May 2nd is a weekend so we figured one day off would be ok! This way our two dates are close and can be celebrated together and are super special to us!

Funny story. People kept asking us when our wedding date was. We didn't have one because our date we originally wanted was our Anniversary date (April 15th) if we waited for that we wouldn't be getting married until 2023. He was getting annoyed with everyone asking us. We knew we wanted to get married in 2020. He randomly looked at everyone and said OKAY FINE ITS JULY 13TH. Ended up not being a weekend but June 13th was. So we stuck with June 13th, right in between both out birthdays in June

It was based on availability for us. It was either September 2020 or May 2020. I wanted May 2020 but I thought my fiance would of thought it was too early as he proposed in January. We both looked at each other and said May 31, 2020! #whywait #whenyouknowyouknow

Ours in June 26 2021. I think June is a good month to get married, just at the beginning of the summer

Honestly, I always wanted to be married in August (I like the month) so we picked the 1st weekend! there was no real reason

I know a lot of people look at venders first to see what dates are open

I’ve always wanted an August wedding and my lucky numbers are 3&7 so when the date 21/08/21 popped up and it was the 3rd weekend of the month and I noticed it would be my late uncles birthday, it felt right and natural.

I wanted to do it on the anniversary of moving to Canada with him, but ended up going one week earlier because it was $3k cheaper!! If the venue I love didn't have the date I would have just chosen another date as, for me, the place I get married at feels more important than the day.

If they have the last weekend in June then go for it! Will still be a June Wedding and it's as your favourite venue

We knew we wanted a summer wedding, we would of like sept 3 on our anniversary date but it was to close to the kids going back to school and their were to many birthday’s in sept so we picked a month in the summer where we had no family birthday’s that landed us in aug so I then really wanted it to be the 7th or 11th we ended up with aug 7th 2021 because it fell on a Saturday and it had to be on the weekend

Availability of places and also blocked off dates my family couldnt fly in

We started dating in April, but I knew it would be too cold for a spring wedding. So we definitely wanted to do July since, like someone else mentioned on here, it’s the hottest month. I’m having so much family fly in that I want to make sure they’ll be able to enjoy the weather here. Then we knew we wanted a Friday since it was cheaper than a Saturday, and since we’re having 3 events.
I picked the 10th of July particularly because it happened to fall on a Friday, and because the 10th of January is my parents anniversary so it had a little ring to it. Similar but not the same.

It all worked out perfectly!

Well we wanted a summer wedding, my fiancée loves the heat and July is usually the hottest month of the year. The year was a bit tricky, between work schedules and travelling for work we knew we’d have to plan it in advance so we were choosing between 2021 and 2022. The last key was my family, they all live abroad and we want to accommodate everyone so we chose 2022. July 3 2022

A little bit of everything! We are getting married a week before our "dating" anniversary in Mexico. We had to choose that day because of booking restrictions and pricing. We also chose it so that once we get back we can do our legal ceremony on our "dating" anniversary. My fiancé says it's easier to remember the one day he already knows than add another date.

Good Luck!

A bit of everything. Venue availability is big, but also timing. For us, we work seasonally in another province and will not be home for the summer. We were between late April and let October around when we are gone. We selected October because my best friend was trying to get pregnant but wouldn’t have been able to make it to the April Wedding.

View quoted message July 27th is our anniversary as well what you chose is great. Worth the wait!

We wanted July 27th because it's our anniversary. July 27th fell on a Saturday in 2019, but we only got engaged at the beginning of March and felt like that was too short of notice. As a result, we chose July 25th since it's as close to the date as possible!

That's so nice - I wanted the first week of June as well but it was booked at my venue. I got the last week of June instead. Enjoy!

We went for August 22nd 2020 based on our favorite venues availabilities and as well as we wanted to get married towards the end of summer.

We decided to get married June 6th because we realized that his grandparents got married june 6th
56 years ago this year, we even picked the same exact hall they got married at because we fell in love with it. I also always wanted to get married in spring!

Ours was based on our original venues availability. There are so many August anniversaries in my family too, so it feels a little special that way-even if it was completely random.

Our date is October 3,2020. We both like October and the date means something to both of us. It was my grandparents wedding anniversary and it was his grandpa's birthday.

Our date was dictated by our Venue! We booked the venue we loved and worked on the dates they had available that was not too soon but less than a year away.

Well first we looked at our calendar and tried to figure out when would work for us; just month and year and then we coordinated with our jobs. I'm a traveling musician so I',m always out of town; once we narrowed that down we coordinated with family who live abroad. Then we took a look at our finances to see how much we'd need to spend and how long that would take and the TA DA! We came up with our date lol in a nutshell; first based on us, then work, family who will travel and finances and we came up with July 3rd 2022

I always dreamt of a fall wedding but since we have a child in grade 4 and will be getting married across the country we opted for summer. I looked at Saturday’s in July/August and 08.08.2020 felt the best

I always wanted a June wedding. When the time came, we decided it would be extra expensive to have the wedding at that time of year, on top of taking time off work during the busy season! So we opted for our anniversary as a wedding date instead, for a December wedding! Now I’m really happy with the decision because our wedding got to be so different and unique, and every year for our anniversary, there will be family time & the world will be sparkly for the Christmas holidays! Whatever you choose will work out ☺️

View quoted message Ours is similar! 10.02.20

My fiancé wanted a day that would be easy for him to remember plus you can get great discounts for having your wedding on a weekday. So he chose 10/20/2020.

We didn't want it to be on a long weekend or near three different birthdays. This helped narrow it down.

We chose my parents wedding anniversary because their marriage is always something I aspired to have myself and it felt special to share the day with them ❤️

View quoted message So true thank you ❤️

View quoted message August 29 will look really elegant in a script font for your invites. 😊 At the end of the day, whatever is chosen in the long run will be the most important date for the 2 of you. And every number chosen will sound special because you made it that way. ❤

We chose the first Saturday after my fiancé’s son graduated high school. That’s the right time to be able to move in together after the wedding.
