Cool wedding date coincidence

LightBlueGem, on December 18, 2014 at 8:06 PM Posted in Planning 0 20

It came up a few days ago between FH and I that our wedding date is very near our very first contact online (we met on okcupid). I got curious and logged into my old account, looked at his first message to me and we are getting married on the EXACT day we first corresponded. It was pure coincidence- we chose that day because it's the weekend before spring break and FH is a teacher. So randomly cool. And crazy to reread those first emails. I think I want to print and save themSmiley smile

    What a fun coincidence! And I love going back to read old emails, IM chats, whatever...it reminds you of so many memories and how far you've come as a couple. To me its like going back to read old journals- some of it is really cringe worthy, some of it is silly, some heartwarming, but all of it reminds you of your past hopes and dreams and where you are now compared.

    Aw! I love those kind of coincidences! Frame em! My fiancee and I are getting married 5 years to the date she proposed and on her 30th birthday. Kinda just worked out that way without too much planning on our end, but in some way it makes the date that much more special.

    That's awesome! I love stuff like that. We got married on our officiant's birthday. We got engaged on my friend's birthday (who also styled my hair for the wedding). We started dating the day before my sister's birthday (flower girl). We met on my brother's birthday (bridesman). http://vimeo.com/110931938

    We are getting married 5-15-15. Not sentimental but a somewhat cool date. We didn't plan it that way. We just wanted a Friday in May and that is what the venue had available.

    DH proposed (for real) exactly 1 year after we met.

    I've married couples on our wedding anniversary and on my birthday.

    I officiated my brother's wedding on the 16th anniversary of their first date.

    It wasn't really coincidence since ours was all planned, but we got engaged on our 5th anniversary and we're getting married on our 6th!

    That's cool!!! We kinda had the same thing happen! Our original wedding date was 6/13/15 but that was booked so we moved it to 7/11/15. We started dating on 2/12 (I wish it would have been official on 2/11), we got engaged on 8/11, my bridal shower is planned for 4/11 and our wedding is on 7/11 LOL. Damn that being one day off for our dating anniversary haha

    My FH met on okcupid also. Before we both deactivated our accounts, we saved all of our messages. I would like to get it bound at Kinkos or something one day!

    We're getting married the day before our 5 year anniversary. We both really wanted a Friday wedding, otherwise we would've gotten married on the actual date.

    @Jenn, have you tried to log back in and see if they're still in your message cache? I deactivated my account a week after I met FH two years ago, but I reactivated it for the 40 seconds it took to copy and save the emails and promptly deactivated again. They had saved everything.

    Funny story that sort of relates!

    FH and I have a dating anniversary of June 28, 2008. When we had been together for about 6 months, and started talking about marriage, I was giggling with my best friends about how much I would love to get married on our dating anniversary.

    Just for fun, we pulled out the calendar and saw that the 28th didnt fall on a Saturday until 2014. I was like "there is no way we will wait that long to get married, so oh well."

    The joke was on me when june 28, 2014 came and went, and we weren't even engaged yet! HA HA! He cracked up when I told him that story when all was said and done!
