Have you ever been asked to change your wedding date?

It was a suggestion because of another family member's wedding a few months later before the date was set in stone.

Yes, Actually, but with my first wedding. we had chosen a date almost two years out and with about 4 months to go I started getting requests to change the date because it was the Eagles home opener for the season. Needless to say, there were a lot of people with pocket radios and smart phones in hand at all time.

Only by our Venue because our true anniversary date was not available.

No but we did have a guest ask me why we picked such a ridiculous date and followed it up with "who wants to get married in January anyway, and you know my husband snow plows so I can't give you a firm RSVP."

The kicker? She said this to me while we were at HER wedding.

Last time i was planning a wedding I was asked by my grandpa to pick a different date... but it was because of his diamond anniversary in the ministry was the same week. And he was going to officiate the ceremony. It was early enough we could do that. I was also told by my ex's mother all the dates we were not allowed to get married on... but that was a whole mother can of worms. If the date is set that is the answer.

I think that you should not have to change your wedding date unless there is a huge conflict - but most people will bend in order to spend such a special day with you and your FH.

I unintentionally had an influence on my friend's wedding date. She got engaged and when we were talking I mentioned when my brother's wedding was and she goes... "OK, well... there goes having our wedding on that date" Apparently they were actually considering having their wedding that weekend. Luckily it was early enough out, and not set in stone.

My mom kept pushing us to have our wedding in Nov so she could see the Christmas lights at Disney.

His mom and cousin asked us to change the date because it's close to Thanksgiving....of course I said no. It's my day and my way!

Yes! My wedding is on a long weekend, and a couple people have expressed their opinions about how they are usually away on long weekends...good thing I'm giving them 14 months notice. -.-

My uncle (godfather) tried to get me to change the date to make it easier for them. It's on a satuday, you only have to take one day off work. We told them even before we sent out STD. He said summer would be easier cuz they had this thing and that and were going camping that weekend, then so and so had this other thing, and it would be easier for my cousin (who's wedding I took a whole week of vacation for, not to mention the hotel, rental car etc. . ) wouldn't be able to come as she's a school teacher and she'd have to make up that day . . umm WTH?

I was (kindly) asked by my mother to have the wedding "not in April" because so many people in the family have careers impacted by tax season. Luckily, we had already pulled it in to March.

My mom asked if I could change my date since we found out it was the same weekend as Comic Con and they didn't want to have to pay extra for hotels and flights. I said absolutely not. We'll get hotel blocks and you can buy your tickets early. I keep telling them that it will still be cheaper for them to stay in San Diego coming from Colorado than if they had to fly all the way to Hawaii for a wedding and find a hotel out here to stay in!!

I had several people ask me to change our date because they go home for the holidays and wouldn't be in California. Little do they know the main reason why we chose this day was so that people would decline.

I was SUPER lucky that I didn't have this issue.

I wanted Aug 8 because I like Aug and I like the idea of our anniversary on 8-8. So I was determined to have that day.

It ended up working out perfectly with FH's family that lives out of the country, that friday is part of a week long holiday for them.

It worked perfectly for my best friend who was also getting married this summer. Her wedding was planned for July so no conflict.

It worked perfectly for my cousin because it is the weekend after the long weekend here in Canada, so she can go to her family reunion and come to my wedding.

There were probably other cases as well that I just didn't know about. With so many things that could have conflicted, it just worked out so perfectly. Like it was meant to be.

I wasn't asked to change the date per se, but when my sister bailed and I was upset, my mother suggested I either switch my DW or have another wedding at home to accommodate her. Since my sister's reason for bailing was so lame and because I made 1001 concessions with my first wedding, I said "NO".

A ton of people have asked me to change it, apparently everyone NEEDS to go camping on the long weekend. Not changing, it's our 6 year anniversary that day.

My FMIL asked us to bump our wedding up to this November instead of next. She wanted us to get married on her in-laws 60th anniversary. It didn't go over so well when FH told her we want our wedding to be about us and no one else and that November 6th 2015 is the day we want and we aren't changing it. It's an important date for us and we won't be changing. Especially since we found out that his grandparents don't want us to change the day since it should be about us, it was all her idea from the beginning.

Our original wedding date was 7/26/14 for sentimental reasons but due to my health problems, my FH moving in with me from out of state and the chaos all that caused, we were besieged with people on both sides advising us to push it back. One of my BM was also planning of getting married July 2014 and her venue only had two options, the 26 or the 12. She really wanted the 26 but out of consideration for us, she moved hers to the 12 instead of us having to move ours. But then I started getting horrible anxiety, crying daily (so not like me) and nightmares about planning a wedding on top of everything else going on and it started affecting my recovery so in the end we ended up post-poning the wedding a year. It did all end up working out though. My BM had a beautiful wedding, the crazy in my life has improved, and I'm really having fun wedding planning.

Yes, I've had many of my venue's, suggest that I should change my date. I even had one place tell me that my guest list is to small for the room I want, but if I could find 20-40 more guests it would be no problem to have my reception in their building on my chosen date. I come from a small family and so does FH so we couldn't possibly find any extra people who we know well enough to want to come to our wedding. Aside from our venues giving us hassles about our date, no one in our families has given us any grief with the date.
