Picking a wedding date

I would pick whichever date is more significant to you. We got married on July 20, 2019. The date really didn't mean anything to us. It was just when the venue was available. We had to schedule of wedding around our siblings'. My sister at the time was engaged and was supposed to be getting married the middle of October. Ideally, I would have gotten married in October because I always wanted an early fall wedding, but because she was scheduled to be married then I didn't think it was a good idea to have two weddings within two weeks of each other. Within weeks of putting down our deposit on our venue and a few vendors, my sister ended her engagement. By that point, it would have been too difficult to change the date without possibly losing money. My brother got married at the beginning of April and my brother-in-law got married the last week of August (Labor Day weekend). We also didn't want our wedding to be too close to major gift giving holidays. Both of our birthdays are in December (three days apart) and our dating anniversary was in January so all gift giving holidays had taken place in December, January and February when we were dating so when we got engaged we knew we wanted a date that would be far enough away from our birthdays, Christmas and Valentine's Day.

I also suggest picking whichever one is more significant. We didn't have a great reason for picking our date, other than just avoiding other holidays/birthdays.

It was very pretty, but part of me is still sad that didn't have our October wedding like I wanted. I had wanted the beautiful leaves and medium weather. It was one of the hottest days of the entire year when we got married so we had very limited outdoor photos. Our wedding was thankfully inside. I don't think we could have had an outdoor wedding. It would have been way too hot. The best part of course was marrying the man of my dreams.
