Wedding Date Comments

No, I don't think it's problematic at all. The only thing that's problematic is the fact that uninvolved people feel the need to voice their opinions. It's your wedding, not theirs. They really shouldn't twenty question you because that's unfair! Nothing wrong with your date at all. Just try to enjoy everything and ignore the comments. Good luck ❤️

I agree with Caitlin. Nothing wrong with your date at all!

My FH and I are getting married our anniversary date Nov. 25th (which btw is the day before Thanksgiving this year.) His birthday is four days later and mine is 12 days later. When we were planning our original celebration, nobody mentioned this being an issue and honestly, I don't see how your birthday's are even relevant. Nobody even mentioned it being a problem due to being so close to Thanksgiving. My mom asked if we'd be okay if some couldn't come because of it and we said that's fine. Of course this was all pre-pandemic plans, but just trying to show you that those people are just unnecessarily giving their opinions. There's nothing wrong with your date.

I see no problem. Our wedding was 12 days after my wife’s birthday and they didn’t interfere with each other.

No it is not problematic. I feel like when it comes to some people if it's not about them they find every way to make drama and ruin the day for someone else. I say who cares what they think, if they can't be happy and supportive for your wedding then they probably will never be with anything you do and will always find something wrong with anything you do. My wedding is the day before my birthday and nobody has ever talked about how it's to close to my birthday.

Not problematic at all! My original date was a few days after my fiance's birthday, and a few days before my birthday. We intentionally picked that date for that exact reason. Our new date is right around the same time of year, just in 2022 instead of 2020. People always seem to have something to say for some reason. The date you choose for your wedding is not anyone's decision except you and your fiance. As long as you're happy with your date, that's all that matters!

I learned many many moons ago, before wedding planning, that it’s impossible to please everyone. So I stopped trying, and did what was best for me and my now husband.

Depending on who the people making comments are about it being so close t your birthdays... are they family members who would normally buy you gifts?? I don't know their financial situation, but maybe they don't want to have to buy birthday gifts AND wedding gifts so close together!? That would be my first thought.... otherwise i agree with what others said on here... it’s your day and it doesnt matter what they think.. don’t listen to them or let it get you down..

View Quoted Comment Thank you!

View Quoted Comment Yeah people thought our wedding being close to our birthdays would be annoying in the future because we’d have all the celebrations around one time of year but I actually really liked that our wedding would be a couple weeks after our birthdays, not too close but close enough. I know some people like to spread out anniversaries/celebrations throughout the year but that sounds so exhausting to me. Congratulations on your wedding, I hope COVID didn’t mess it up too much❤️

View Quoted Comment Thank you! 💕

View Quoted Comment Yeah I wanted it in November but far enough from my birthday so that I wouldn’t have to deal with joint birthday/wedding anniversary celebrations. Congrats on your wedding 💕

View Quoted Comment Thank you and congrats on your wedding! Sorry COVID messed up the first one. ❤️

View Quoted Comment I agree with that, thanks! 💗

View Quoted Comment The comments about our birthdays were because they thought I should spread out my wedding from it more than I did. We did look into having it later in Nov but after the 11, we have family members’ birthdays and then after that is thanksgiving week and then we’re fully in holiday mode and we both wanted it to be before the holidays. Thanks! ❤️

My birthday is a week before our wedding and my fiancé’s birthday is a week after the wedding. We will actually be on our honeymoon during his birthday, which is exciting. I wanted a fall wedding and the date was perfect because we plan to go on a yearly trip to celebrate our birthdays and anniversary. You do what makes you happy, not others!

It’s YOUR birthdays not theirs. Not sure why they even care, if you two are fine with it. There will always be something going on in the year. So trying to avoid everything will drive you crazy. When we first decided to postpone our 10/10/20 wedding, we were leaning toward 10/2/21. But FH birthday is only a few days prior on 9/28. We talked about the new date and he was fine with it. But after a few weeks I just didn’t like the idea of FH birthday weekend always falling on our anniversary weekend. Not cool because we celebrate with big parties and I didn’t want him to lose out on that. So we ultimately moved to 10/30/21 (which I love better than the other 2 dates). Our original date was 2 weeks from his birthday, which was better. So being 16-19 days away is totally fine. Plus, in your case, I like that all 3 events are in October. That makes for a fabulous month of celebrating.

Well, my fiance and I have Turkey Day (it either falls around our anniversary or his birthday), Anniversary on the 25th, his birthday, my birthday, then a few weeks later X-mas and New Year's Eve and Day. Lol it just makes it a fun/eventful time of the year for us. More than normal. But as long as neither of you mind, they shouldn't either. And thank you, congrats to you and yours and have the best time on your wedding day!

Not sure why anyone would care that your wedding is near your birthdays cause that doesnt affect anyone but you haha thats really strange honestly. If anything itll be like an extension of your birthdays with a lot of extra people you wouldnt normally celebrate with
