Is it a bad idea to get married the same month as your birthday?

I don't see how that would matter at all.. But that's my option. Unless your birthday is this huge thing that would interfere in your marriage?

No. Not a bad idea at all. It could be an amazing wedding/birthday month! I don't think one would over shadow the other at all.

When we were looking at venues, one of them had a date available that was either a week before or after my DH's birthday, can't remember exactly which one it was. Decided not to go with this venue for that reason, since we didn't want our wedding to be in the same month as one of our birthdays. We wanted to spread things out through out the year.

We got married Nov 30. DH's bday is Dec 1. Followed by Christmas, and then I get 11 months off :-)

I imagine it would suck if you ended up divorced, or maybe not. You'd still have a reason to have fun that day :-)

DHs bday was 4 days after our wedding. Didn't bother him at all or affect anything in any way.

I don't think so...My wedding date is set two days after FH's bday so we have planned to always take that time of the year off to go out of town for a weekend or a few days to celebrate his bday and our wedding date!

I don't think it should matter.

P.S. My birthday is August 14. GO FOR IT

My dad's birthday is September 25th. My parents anniversary is September 24th. They've been married 25 years.

Our wedding is the 15th do ittttt

Besides that's a bad ass 30th birthday

Honestly, I chose my wedding date specifically because it was far away from other important events - like both our birthdays.

FH is pretty cynical about special occasions. He HATES celebrating anniversaries/birthdays/holidays etc... I think celebrating things is very important, so my decision was strategic in that I'm not going to give him the chance to have a lifetime of birthday/anniversary combo gifts and events. I joked with my friends that I wasn't just picking a wedding date, I was picking a lifetime of gift getting! haha

I think it just depends on you two as a couple and if you're ok with combo celebrations or you want them to be separate.

Weʻre getting married on valentineʻs day so weʻre doing a 2 for 1 and Iʻm excited.

as long as itʻs not on your birthday it should be fine

I don't see how that would conflict. Your birthday is one day, your anniversary would be on another.

I wouldn't want that but I'm selfish like that. I want my birthday to be my own - I.e. I want to be able to be celebrated without worrying about buying/organizing things for other people. I know it's selfish but i will add that I wouldn't want our wedding around FH's bday for the same reason - I want to celebrate him without him feeling pressured pressured to celebrate me too.

As long as you don't care, then go for it! If you have too many doubts that it will matter to you then I say hold off!

I know someone who got married on his birthday (at least he will never forget his anniversary!) which I think is a little more strange, but to each their own!

I wanted that. Our first wedding date was Feb 22, 2014 because my birthday is on Feb 27th & the 28th is his. But I thought about income tax, which we might get screwed anyways with, so I picked a day closest to our anniversary, March 30th. The day before one of my sisters bday (( the reason I rem lol)) Go with what you want!

My parents got married 2 days after my mom's birthday. My grandparents got married the day after my grandfather's birthday. My future brother- and sister-in-law have their birthdays 10 days apart and they got married halfway in between their birthdays.

I say go for it.

I think it's fine but I wouldn't do it.

Story for you, a friend of mine's birthday is the 23rd. She got married on the 26th of the same month. She planned nail appta or whatever for her birthday and totally forgot it was her birthday and was like wait I think I am missing something. Why does the 23rd seem familiar. Soooo you may get wedding brain and schedule wedding stuff on your birthday.

I think it's fine.. DH's birthday is August 13th and our wedding was the 25th. this year we just went for burgers on his actual birthday and then I took him out to a nice dinner when we got back from our HM but he wasn't upset about it. I'm used to sharing events anyway, my birthday is Valentine's Day, and DH also proposed that day. not a big deal, but if it really bothers you, don't do it.

I got married Nov 6th 2013 and my birthday was this past Saturday November 30th. Got showered with lots of gifts from DH. Now I get to be showered with lots more gifts in the month of November. ;-) Simply the best.

FH's birthday is 5 days before our wedding. I don't think it's a bad idea bc I plan to still celebrate his birthday every year and our anniversary as well.

The only reason I wouldn't want to get married on my birthday month is bc my birthday is in November and I always wanted a spring or summer wedding
