marraige date?

[POSICORE]

july 4th 2007 or july 13th 2007?

july 4th is independence day, we would be declaring our independence with each other, and from our parents, after the wedding we would just drink wine and drink wine and drink wine, and watch fire works that are going off for us, and for our country

july 13th is our cute anniversary, we started dating on october 13th of 2004.... and we do want to get married in the summer for it would be away from school and nice and warm and we can go to a nice beach and have fun. and it would be cute to get married on our aniverary of dating.....and keep the whole 13th thing going

any suggestions?

I'd pick July 4th-what better summer date is there than when we celebrate the birth of our nation?

The 4th would be cool cos people will have 3-day weekends from work, and it'll make it easier for those who are traveling to the wedding.

i'd choose the 13th... cause my parents wedding anniversary is 'australia day' in oz... and so they have to share their anniversary with the rest of the country.. why would you want it on a public holiday? it means you have to share it with everyone else every year...

I'd pick the 13th for the reason of it's easy to remember, but also lots of people get together with their families or plan activities for the 4th annually, so it might be harder for people to come.

But its your wedding, so pick whichever ya want

I'd pick the 13th because people usually vacation the 4th... plus, being honest, I wouldn't go to go to a wedding on the 4th of July.

Go for the 13th. BTW, that year it's a friday.

From what you said about July 4 (being to show independance from your parents), I wouldn't go with it.

Independance from your parents should happen BEFORE your wedding day, and marriage should not be used as an attempt to garner that.

I'm not saying you're doing that, but your post may come across that way to some.

Get out from under that parental authority BEFORE you get married - your partner will thank you for it - TRUST ME!

I'd go for the 13th too. No sense spending your anniversary with the rest of the country, when they're celebrating something else. Pick a day that's just for the two of you.

It doesn't matter. The 4th would be a good way for a husband to remember the anniversary. I hear husbands have trouble with that!

its not like that, we just thought it would be cute

 

[superfly]

yeah... i'd go for the 13th, cause it's cute...

i'm from south africa, so the 4th of july means nothing to me...

 

[chocolateloverjen]

i think july 13th. its so romantic. you could say: its our 3 year anniversary of when we met but our 1st wedding anniversary. he he he.
im getting married on the day my bf and i met.

 

[Keri]

That's really sweet.

 

[Maeyken]

If it were me, I'd do the 13th. I wouldn't want to have my anniversary on a holiday. Besides, I think the anniversary thing is cute.

 

[POSICORE]

i'm gonna have to talk to her about it,

the 13th was my idea

the 4th was hers

i'm a laid back kinda guy and anything goes as long as we are together and happy. but she is laid back too (somtimes hehe)

but i really never thought about the hassle part of the 4th so i'm gonna try and discourage the 4th idea and go for the 13th...and someone said it would be on a friday which is cool.

thanks guys

Then I would definately not go with the 13th.

You could always get civilly married on the 4th, and have a blessing the 13th.

Well, if you decide to have it on the 4th, you won't forget your anniversary date!

I like the idea of the 4th. It's a holiday weekend so hopefully you'll both have it off of work so you can always spend future anniversaries together.

 

[septemberskies]

I like 13th because its more special and unique for you two to share and remember.

I think the 13th as well, unless you're planning on having a small wedding and don't care if certain people don't show up. A friend of mine had her wedding right before Christmas, which I was in. It was so inconvenient and hard for me not to be just a "tad" upset with her for not even considering that we all might have family things that we needed to do (the wedding was a day's drive away) or that the weather might have us locked down for the holidays!

On the other hand, had she only had people in the wedding that were right there, and not expected people to drop plans because of her wedding, it wouldn't have mattered so much. It just depends on what kind of celebration you're planning. You might even want to wait until August or do it in June (on the 13th), as your other date is so close to a holiday some people might not be able to get off of work.
