Is anyone SUPER superstitious about the date you picked...

I can be that way, so it is hard for me to say if you are being 'weird' or not. Personally I think that a September wedding at your new venue would be perfect, however if you are going to worry about it, then it is not worth booking. Take a few days to think about it and see which out weighs the other.

Maybe it will change everyone's mood. Instead of the divorce being on everyone's mond, they will think of your wedding/anniversary. I think September would be a great month. The weather is beautiful enough to still be able to enjoy and you won't have to worry about being too hot. Oh and the grounds will be beautiful. YOu should consider it. I'm only doing August because all of September was taken.

Good ideas ladies, I am going to take a few days and ponder it over... see where Im at then : ) you girls are the best

August would be a great month, My anniversary month, to get married. At least it would make it easier on FS, he would be able to remember the month of your anniversary..lol. In August the leaves should be beginning to turn colors and yet not to cold to stand out in the gazebo. Just think of the beautiful pictures you would get. I don't know what the weather is like there. Does it rain in August?

I totally agree with Edwina! think having it in September gives you a great opportunity to redirect people's attention. They will be focused on you and your happiness! My FH and I are getting married on 6/6...which turns out is my divorced grandparent's old anniversary. We had NO idea when we picked the date, but we're just making the best of it! It's a great chance to make that date a special one instead of a sad one!

I relate but I wouldn't say I'm superstitious per se. I think it's a matter of process of elimination by factoring in: feelings, availability, weather, themes, etc. My first wedding date was in July so I didn't want to repeat July. It's also my bday month and one of my daughter's bday months so I felt like July is kind of 'busy' as it is. The risk for rain is quite high in June in Oregon so I nixed June and decided August was perfect. I say go with what date feels right to YOU.

Yeah i agree with edwina i always wanted a september wedding becasue i love the fall colors not to cold not to hot my wedding is on a friday that saturday is also really popular its 9/10/11 so i just went with the day before yeah but think it over like the ladies said

I would not say I'm supersticious about our date but it did not occur to us that it was so close to april fools day. That bothered me at first but now I'm fine with it.

However I was really supersticious about using my dad's old wedding ring. My mom and dad got divorced and he gave me his old wedding ring because he wanted me to melt it down for my ring but I just could NOT do it. I can't wear a ring on my finger from a marriage that did not work. And one of my friends used her moms diamond for her wedding band (her parents are divorced) and for some reason that bothers me just a little.

It's not weird. I think dates and times of the year hold certain memories in them and can be challenging to deal with. On the one hand you can look at it as a way to make September happy and joyous. On the other hand I know you might want to avoid it all together.

What if you did a spring wedding? or a winter wedding? I am getting married on my Black Grandma's birthday. She's no longer with us and for my Dad's side of the family it's perfect as it holds alot of value (too long to share). I would recommend that you think about it as others say and pick a date that makes you and FH happier than mud on hogs.

Thanks Ladies, I like all of your advice, We have a few more weeks before we get enough $$ to put our payment down on our venue-- so I am still going to think about it and see how I feel then. But I do like the idea that Edwina said about starting anew and setting the mood for something better. Having September mean something more to people/family other than my parents divorce month.

Sept. bride, we are getting married in a gazebo and the wedding has to be after july first and preferably before october due to the flowers that are planted around the gazebo-- our original date was in November but I dont think anyone would come to an outdoor wedding in chicagoland in november lol-- september seems perfect, or maybe the very begining of october, it was pretty warm still around that time last year

I need to get over this lol divroce sucks.

This doesnt have anything to do with my date, but i saw it on facebook and had to post it

this year, july has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays! this only happens once every 823 years! (based on chinese feng shui)

And holly-- I agree with you, certain dates do hold certain memories, maybe we can create new memories with a September wedding I love your outlook on this!

Angie I heard that!!!!! its so ironic that we get to experience something like that-- July is going to be super longggggg this year

My superstition runs even crazier than yours. I think I'm slightly OCD. I don't like odd numbers. I feel like they are bad luck. I only watch even numbered TV channels, I listen to the stereo at even numbers... It only seemed natural that I have an even numbered wedding date. 04/14/12. All even numbers. Nobody understands my reasoning. But it FEELS like a good date. At least yours is for sentimental, reasonable reasons. hahaa.
