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

I got married on my birthday. It's occasionally a hassle trying to schedule romantic anniversary stuff with NotFroofy and family birthday stuff with my son and his family. But it's not that big a deal, especially since birthday stuff often gets moved to the nearest weekend, anyway. And if it's just the same month, not the same day, it should be even less of an issue.

I hope not. My birthday is dec 11. We are gettin married dec 24. Yes Christmas Eve!! It's so close(21 days!!!) Christmas has a lot of meaning to me and it's a magical time of year and we met in dec so it's fitting.

I don't think so, my birthday's Dec 19 our wedding date is Dec 27th.

Thank you ladies for all your feedback. I feel alot better about doing it in august. This will give me time to save some more money and I can just do something local for my 30th birthday. I actually have to wait for an email from the hotel to make sure they still have me down for aug 14th. I will keep you posted and thanks for the comments :-)

I don't see it being an issue at all, just do whatever makes you feel comfortable

We are getting married Dec 30th.the date I have posted is the day we will do the big celebration.so we have christmas,our anniversary and FH`s birthday which happens to be new years eve all in the same week.we wanted to get married on his actual birthday but due to certain circumstances we couldn't.

My wedding is a week and a a day after our wedding along with my sisters birthday thats on the same day as mine and both of my sisters have their anniversaries in august. And our daughter will turn one 3 days before our wedding. so i dont think it will be an issue. we dont do anything for my birthday and our daughters we will jus have her party earlier than the 6th.

My brother in law's fiance's birthday is April 24th my brother in law's birthday is April 25th, They are getting married April 26th (2014)

I turn 30 March 5 and get married March 21

My grandparents got married on g'pa's 24th b'day. They were married for 56 years before he passed away.

My 30th birthday is April 8th, wedding is April 12th...I think it's a cute idea!

I don't see anything wrong with it. My mom's birthday is two days before my parent's anniversary!

I don't think it really matters to be honest. I don't see one day overshadowing the other, they are totally separate occasions with different meanings.

My FH birthday is October 19th and we are getting married a week before. I think you will be ok.

My fiance and I specifically chose a date that was far away from our birthdays, but that was just because our birthdays are only days apart...and our families have birthdays only days apart from us...so it was more of an "overwhelming month" for us than it is for you, I would say.

I don't see why having your birthday and wedding close together would be a problem...you might just have to accept that, for that year only, your wedding will be a bigger deal than your birthday...which I think is fine anyway.

We got married 2 days after my husbands birthday, and I don't think he minds at all. As another lady said, I will still do something special for his birthday, and not just roll it into one celebration.

My wedding is in my birth month. I don't see it as a problem. It really doesn't matter.

My mom's second wedding was in Jamaica and on her birthday. They celebrate both all the same every year.

Our wedding was October 12th and my birthday is October 31st

I think it makes it easier for him to remember that he's got two important dates in October! LOL

We like the idea so we plan our wedding right between our two birthdays. Our birthdays are less than a week apart and we are getting married right in the middle. That way we can take vacations and celebrate both birthdays and our anniversary :-)
