Quick Rant

That's what I ended up doing! 12 is my favorite number so we got married on 12/12

Each bride is different. As a PP said I would not base my wedding on a date but I also would not wait over one year to have my celebration. Many brides are doing that though. At the end of the day as long as you two are okay with that. Sunday weddings are not bad. I got married on a Sunday and so did a friend of mine and she had the big she bang and people came and it was beautiful. I feel that there are not a lot of options so to keep your day I would sacrifice and do a Sunday but again you seem okay with waiting and that is what matters.

Since it's so common now to do your civil stuff ahead of time, it seems like having your court date on the 14th with your parents, and then your wedding whenever you want/can is the best of both worlds! Instead of wearing your dress you could wear a white jumpsuit or short dress, I've seen tons of cute "civil ceremony" looks.

14 + 14 = 28 ! I would consider the 28th! Its kinda silly but also this could be a good use!

This is pretty common. Did you check August 14th of 2021? I'm guessing you don't want to wait until May 14th of 22?

I picked the July 10th because on August 10th my parents will be married 25 years! I think 10 must be luck!

I get it. My FH and I started dating April 15, 2016. He proposed on my 30th birthday this year (July 1st) and we decided on 10.17.2021 because that was our son's due date last year (& the date we picked for a wedding before we even got engaged). We decided to do a minimony on April 15, 2021 and then still have our big wedding in October. I'm very into astrology so I consider dates and numbers important, however, Covid is shaking things up and having brides do things they've never had to do before. If you're comfortable with waiting, go for it. If not, try to pick another date that would still have good meaning. There's no right or wrong way and it doesn't sound annoying or stupid to go for what works best for you.

Why not wait until 2022 for your wedding May 14th 2022 is on a Saturday which could be perfect I am getting married in April 2022 while it's a wait its worth it so we can have the wedding we want

Oh, I saw you didn't want a Sunday wedding and assumed it was a Saturday you wanted. My bad. Personally I'm of the mind that getting a specific date/number is not as important as other factors...like cost, convenience, it fitting into the season and venue we wanted, etc. Your idea of getting legally married first and then having a delayed reception is fine, lots of people are doing it for COVID. It comes with it's own set of potential problems that you should carefully consider...the most common stuff I see crop up is that people lose motivation to have the big wedding after they get legally married, especially as life goes on and the money could go to other things. Or people get weird about having a "real" wedding when they are already married, it can be a source of insecurity. Just something to consider. If you don't think that applies to you or would bother you then go for it.
