Getting Married on Your Bday

From experience i would say no

why not find a venue that has a minimum $ spent rather than number of persons? that would ease that anxiety~

FH's bday is the day after our wedding.

I had a friend who got married on her bday. Three months later he left her for another woman. Needless to say she can't shake off the anniversary even if she tried. I say don't do it.

I wouldn't! my bday is already really close to Christmas, so it kind of gets swept away anyway. but even if it wasn't, I want LOTS of days to celebrate during the year! your bday should be about YOU! my advice would be have it a different day and give yourselves another reason to do something nice together.

I wouldn't because I like more days to celebrate. My b-day is 6 days before our anniversary, which is fine with me!

The date you're thinking about is the day before my birthday!!

But to answer your question, HELL NO. First of all, my birthday is my birthday. I don't want to share it with anything else. Second, my birthday is in June and I HATE the summer. I would not want to get married during it.

I overly love my birthday though. You might not, so it might not be a bad fit for you.

I agree with the ladies. I wouldn't want to get married on my birthday. It's MY day and I wouldn't want to share it with my anniversary.

I think its great! But I'm a selfish bastard, I'd want two days of gifts, haha. On the other hand, this means your FH will only have 1 date to not forget...

I knew a couple whose Birthday's were both 10/18. They got married on 10/18 and then proceeded to have four children born on 10/18. (first one was by emergency induced labor, second one was by emergency c section, last two they scheduled the c-section for that day)

I wouldn't want it to be on my birthday! I know some people like that but I want a special day that we can celebrate each other and our marriage instead of having it focus more on me.

Id say of the date works and you are ok with it do it!! Who cares what other people say that it's your bday. I originally picked the day before my birthday but FH work wasn't gonna work with that date. If you are happy with the venue and that date is open do it!!

Once you get to certain age I feel like your birthday becomes less important especially when u have children. I hardly care about my birthday anymore. But an anniversary is always special no matter how old.

FH's birthday is a week before our wedding. I made sure to not schedule it on his day so we can still celebrate both big events. I wouldn't want to be married on my bday.

Yeah, I was never really a big bday person. Well, after I had my son, his bday is more important than mine. So, hmmm.. I wouldn't mind. I would love to have a day that is extremely special! I don't care about presents, I would rather have just a day that truly means something to the both of us.. And.. that day does work with us. I always wanted a June wedding and I love this venue. Im sure meeting my minimum isn't as hard as im predicting. And if we didn't meet it, I wouldn't mind. Soooo hmm.. I have one more day to decide.. eeekk

I would not. Then your birthday will just melt into your anniversary. Plus, heaven forbid something happens years from now, your birthday would be ruined always.

My birthday is Nov 30th and I was thinking about it and opt out really quick. Now I get to celebrate my wedding anniversary and birthday in the same month separately.

Could you pick the Friday before or after your bday? That way you don't lose your bday completely? I wouldn't do it. Our dating anniversary, FH bday and Vday are all the same month and it's a lot. I feel bad for ripping him off on gifts because of it. I'm not a big bday person either, but sometimes people like to do something nice for you because you deserve it. If your anniversary is on your bday, then it makes it harder to celebrate lol I don't know. Keep one day for you....celebrate your life on one day and love on another haha

I wouldn't get married on my birthday, but celebrations are very important to me. My FH and I (mostly me) strategically planned our fall wedding since our birthdays are less than a month a part in the spring. haha

I would not. I want my birthday to be my birthday, not my anniversary too. But I'm all about birthdays lol. Plus, FH and my birthdays are only 4 days apart, so no way would I want to throw our anniversary in there too. Too much going on all at once!

I got married on my birthday! I considered getting NotFroofy my best birthday present ever. And it definitely makes my anniversary easy to remember. Only down side is trying to schedule birthday celebrations and romantic anniversary celebrations on the same day. However, at my age birthday celebrations often get moved to the nearest weekend or whatever, to the extent they happen at all, anyway.

I had my date as my b-day originally, but FH advised against it because it would no longer be my day but OUR day....and while that sounds ok to some, I do it big every b-day because its my one day to myself. I ended up picking the next day....lol
