Did any of you consult your parents about your wedding date?

My mom actually picked my date lol. When we told her we were getting married she said okay let me think of a date and she legit got her calender and started telling us days it could not be. She vetoed the entire month of November haha. It didn't bother me a bit though. Her final words "Well if its going to be in December it looks like its going to have to be December 14th. 12/14/13." And she closed her calendar.

We consulted all of our VIPs. Parents and everyone in the wedding.

Yes, we did. Our parents were easy though and whatever we chose they would be happy with. We knew we wanted a summer wedding, preferably July or August.

We talked to our photographer first to find out the dates that he was available, and then we talked to the venue to see what was available.

After that we saw what days the venue and photographer was available in July or August... and ta-da! That's how we chose our date

It also worked out kinds neat, because our wedding is on the 15th and both or our birthdays are on the 15th. So he only has to remember one number...

Part of the reason we picked our date to be so far out was because I didn't want to have to worry about that. Once we picked the date, we made sure to tell family and those in the wedding party when it would be so there wouldn't be any issues.

We didnt consult anyone. It's our wedding day so it's our decision. If your parents wanted to have a say in anything they should have made the effort/ time to speak with you about your plans

We didn't, technically. We picked a date and then told my parents when we were thinking and they said that was fine. They knew I wanted to get married shortly after graduating and I'm smart enough to separate finals from the wedding by a few weeks, so they didn't have any problem with it.

FH's parents we just told the date to. They didn't care either.

Our families have been very interested from the beginning, we've got a great relationship with them. I ran it by them, of course, since they're paying a good portion. That, and had to be sure it didn't interfere with anything else going on. Little did we know that FSIL would get pregnant and be due the same day. What a jerk.

My fiancé had my mom and dad fly in for the proposal, so we talked about a date a few days later. FH works every other weekend, so mom helped my count weekends a year and a half later to see which weekends he was off for the summer 2014 so all the police officers on his shift could attend. So, they kind of helped pick it.

Ah, well. Before we were even officially engaged, FMIL made a "request" that we choose a date after April 15th. Because she's a tax accountant and obviously that season is crazy. Unfortunately, FH and I had already discussed the fact that we wanted a spring date. FHs brother got married in May, and we didn't really want a May date. And June is when it gets so hot, and we were having an outdoor ceremony. Sooo... I started stressing a little. FH said he wanted to choose our date regardless of anyone's input sooo... We chose March. FMIL wasn't happy about it but, oh well. It's not like shes helping with paying for the wedding at all so, she's gotten over it...

Nobody else cared when we chose our date.

We didn't. We threw around some dates, and our parents didn't seem to care one way or another. We were originally planning on having a September date, but when our venue told us August would be $20 per person cheaper, we didn't hesitate in picking an August date. My parents liked that idea since they're paying for the reception

We just picked a date that we were both happy with and then let everyone else know. The date was far enough in advance that people could take off whatever day that we decided. But my future in laws were so excited for us from the beginning, my father passed away last year or otherwise he would be so thrilled about it, and my mother we don't talk often at all and she says she is happy but doesn't make an effort to show it. Best of luck to you though!

FH's family expects us to just tell them things and what to do. FH's family was just glad we're finally getting married (after five years). FH and I don't come from large families, plus we're only have 40 guests (less then half are family). We also don't really have a wedding party MOH is my FSIL and Flower Girl is a cousin.

My family. I was 100% sure they weren't even going to come so running a date past wasn't even a thought. Also, we were waiting for my brother to move out because he asked not be around when it all went down.

I'm really excited my dad is interested in the wedding, so I really hope he can make it. Work is important to him, so while he can just take off, I know that if he doesn't want to he won't ... even for my wedding especially if my mom convinces him that we did it on purpose.

My Mom hated when I told her we were getting married in February. She thinks winter weddings are a terrible idea. I let her know she has two other kids she can work on convincing to have summer weddings.

We made the decision on our own and told our parents. It's pretty far out, so I didn't expect any problems. They'll either be or they won't.

I didnt, we wanted October and our venue only had one Sat in october open, so that solved that lol

We had the most trouble working with my sister (MOH) schedule. She is an army wife who is making a major move on the army's schedule this summer so I couldn't do my first choice date.

Of course! Weddings are the joining of 2 families, wtf is the point if they cant be there lol

I'm so glad that so many of you have such great families! I'm not being sarcastic either. What I would give for my parents to be interested in anything wedding related! I wish my mine had cared a little more in the beginning. No congratulations nothing. I've had to do everything on my own - from planning and shopping and its been hard knowing my mom wasn't interested. My dad lives to not rock the mama boat so that's hard as well --- I was just curious what others had done.

Absolutely did. My parents were fine with whatever date, but we had to change the original date we wanted to suit Jesse's parents because they had planned a cruise for that date.

We picked our date and said that was the date. My mom was not happy that it is in July, but we had to pick around tour dates, calf season, and my pills.
