Wedding Date! What made you choose it.

We chose September because we love Fall. The weather and the colors are beautiful.

Oh totally! Nothing against November but it's such a funny time of year in Canada (where we live as well) - Halloween is done, Christmas is not yet here, and you can randomly get an early snowfall that happens haha - Good call on a summer wedding!

September can be such a stunning month - the temperature can be so perfect and comfortable - love it.

At least it's close to it and even better that it's earlier!

The date we chose is June 22nd. We chose this date because it was the closest to our dating anniversary, November 21st. We want a summer wedding! It would be nice on November 21st, but we live in Canada, specifically in the province Alberta. It would probably be snowing by then and that's a big no-no for us haha.

Ours (September 24) was chosen so we could have outdoor photos taken with the autumn leaves (although the ceremony/reception were both indoors). It also allowed us to book a weekend well in advance and at a time when there was less demand.

Our date was chosen based on the season as you decided and in the same month. We got married 5 years now on 25th and that goes with my husbands birthday the month before and follows christmas 4 months later. It is a great season and temperature given where you have the ceremony.

We originally chose October 14th the 14th is our anniversary date, but they didn't have availability except for September 30th so we just jumped on it.

Aw I am so happy to hear that! That's so ideal that people come anyway to celebrate the couple.

View quoted message Nope not at all! All of guests made a vacation out of it anyways and stayed between 4-5 days. Nobody really cared that it was on a Sunday as long as we got married after having to postpone twice haha

Happy you were able to keep it on the same weekend. Curious, how did you find having it on a Sunday in terms of guests attending? was there much decline if not any because of it?

May is a beautiful month, with Spring and everything coming back to life - I think it's a beautiful time for a wedding

Also cute that he did not want to wait!

Aw so that date is super special - very cool

Our original date was August 8 2020. We chose that date because it was the first weekend in August and down in the Okanagan, it gets very hot during the last few weeks of July and the first few weeks of August! Anywhere from 35 - 40 and we love the heat. You're also usually in the clear for forest fires during that week as well.

Then our second date was August 7, 2021 same weekend as before and the same saturday just a year later thanks to covid. Then our third date was August 7 2022 but now on a sunday since the saturday was already booked. We wanted to keep our wedding date on the same weekend if we could.

Awwww that's a sweet story.

OMG - our date changed so many times cuz my love could not decide. We got engaged this past May and he wanted the wedding this past October Um ya, no. He could not understand that places were booked, we had to save and it was last minute. But I let it go cause his answer was I don't want to wait We picked May 27, 2023 - we were unsure on the venue but we knew we did not want it too hot nor too cold; late May is always great weather. Fast forward a month and we find out the venue we choose had a glitch in the system and we were double booked. As we were the second booking for that day, it was only fair that only one bride cry, not two. After going through all the days in May that would not work (Mother's Day, My Bday, May 2-4) we decided on May 6. Now that the ceremony/reception is indoors, we do not have to worry on weather, too much

The date we chose (Sept 3) is our original dating anniversary and also the anniversary of the day my fiancée proposed! And funny enough, the venue we chose is the same place we had one of our very first dates ❤️
