Any couples getting married on November 12, 2023

Crystal, on April 26, 2022 at 11:18 PM Posted in Planning 2 27

Our wedding date is Nov 12, 2023 because it's on a Sunday we're saving between 2-5k. My Dad's birthday is Nov 23, 11+12=23 and the year is 2023 so it was a numbers thing for me. The ceremony will be at my Dad's church so we're saving a couple coins there. My colors are mauve, rose gold, black & cream, I bought my dress in September 2021, I've got my venue booked and it's literally a one stop shop. They're doing the decorating, cake, catering, dj, parking lot and bathroom attendants are also included, it's the whole 9 yards. I'm looking at makeup artist options, I've got the bridesmaids dresses picked out, and Dollar Tree has super cute stuff lol. I'm a tad nervous about a November date because of Thanksgiving but at the same time I'm not. Any wedding date twins out there?? How is your planning going and where are you at in the process?

    Hi date twin!


    We picked this date because I'm a hair dresser and work Saturdays and wanted to do a Sunday so a lot of my coworkers/friends could come, and it just looked the best on paper. but we didn't catch the 23/23 until my client told me! That just makes me love our date even more! We've gotten a lot done already, mostly because I've been having so much fun planning. We booked a venue, photographer, florist, and I just picked up my dress this past Sunday! Our venue comes with wedding planning and catering, the wedding planning has been such a big help with keeping me on track. Our nextbig task is to ask our wedding party by the end of the summer,and I've just been working on some DIYs when I feel motivated. Our colors are dark olive green, black, white, and tan, and our theme is loosely 70s disco.

    Hey twin heyyyy! I love your colors 😍 they're totally fitting for your theme. I haven't thought about any theme ideas, I just know I want the entire day to be a dreamily romantic vibe on it's own. What style is your dress?

    It's an a-line! The designer is Madi Lane, gorgeous dresses and I feel like she's in that lower-mid range. Have you found one yet or started shopping?! I swear I could have done it forever 😂 so much fun.
    I love how you're having your ceremony at your dad's church! That's so special, will he officiate as well?

    Yes ma'am I have my dress. It's a Maggie Sottero strapless curved neckline low back ballgown, w/ cathedral train. I'm in love 🥰 😍! No, he won't be officiating, he's always doing so much for/at the church all the time. I just want him to be my Dad that day.

    Hi sorry not getting married on your date but I did get engaged on this date November 12th 2020 and my Fiancee birthday is the 13th. We were supposed to be wed in june 12th but had to push it to a later date in October. I tried to keep 12th but I didn't want to be selfish because my birthday is October 15th. So i put it at the end of the month and his birthday is 2weeks after mine. And its is on a sunday too and we saved 3k. I apologize for jumping on your forum like that but I wanted to say that this date is very Special so we are in away twins for that. Congratulations to you both

    Thanks! I was unfamiliar with your designer so I looked them up.... honey they make gorgeous gowns!! Have you picked out your shoes yet? I wanted a pair of Jimmy Choo Cinderella's not knowing they're ridiculously expensive so I made my own look alikes with a pair in sparkly INC pumps.

    Thank you! If I could I would absolutely buy more than one of hers 😂 I did, I just got a pair of short block black heels from lulus! Wedding shoes get so expensive, DIY or dupes are the way to go for sure. I loved the Loeffler Randall Camilla heels that are super popular rn but I couldn't justify spending that much on shoes I'd only wear once and no one would see lol

    Yes ma'am save on as much as you can! We originally wanted a destination wedding but I saw real quick how things would add up plus I want as much of my invited family as possible to be there. I'm not really having many flowers and the ones I will have are gonna be artificial so I'm saving some coins on that too. And I'm doing as much DIY's as I can.

    Yes that would be awesome right to have a destination wedding. I have dreamt of that when I was a lil girl but seeing how much my son wedding was. A lot he hot married in Vegas and and it was at the Bellagio hotel. It was more than what we are putting out. Yes having artificial flowers is not bad I have some beautiful ones and they do really look real. To each own real flowers are beautiful and smell amazing bit mot trying go to the poor house. Its strengthening us now. Keep planning your amazing day mama.

    Right now for me flowers & their smell invoke some real negative emotions so heavy on the "to each their own" thing.. I'm wanting to do a bridal shower weekend in Vegas September next year so I'm trying to plan now.
