My sister-in-law announced her wedding date (2011) over the weekend. She's getting married on a holiday.

New Year's Day. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 07:54
11/11/11 is a popular choice. How about Thanksgiving or Christmas? -- nm - JaxSean Mar 1, 07:54

- We were married on Easter Saturday. Biggest benefit was that the church was decorated for Easter - we didn't have to buy flowers :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 1, 08:01 1
  - ...plus I already had the bunny suit -- nm - oblique Mar 1, 08:02
- What, people can't get married that day? -- nm - JaxSean Mar 1, 07:57 11
  - it's odd, especially if a large part of your guest list is going to have religious obligations to fulfill that day... -- nm - znufrii Mar 1, 08:03
  - They can, but often people have other commitments. -- nm - Roger More Mar 1, 08:00 3
    - Like what? Go to church? - JaxSean Mar 1, 08:03 2
      - The traditional Mass is not celebrated on that day. -- nm - znufrii Mar 1, 08:05
      - Yes. It's probably the holiest day of the year on the Christian calendar. -- nm - Roger More Mar 1, 08:05
  - Seriously. You have 52 Fridays to pick and you choose that one? -- nm - oblique Mar 1, 08:00 4
    - To be fair, that one does move around the calander. Maybe they don't know? -- nm - Qale Mar 1, 08:01 3
      - You'd think though it'd be a "Oh...really? Well, how about the next weekend" kind of conversation -- nm - oblique Mar 1, 08:02
      - It's not a rave. You can check the calendar and know when Good Friday's going to be. -- nm - Max Mar 1, 08:02 1
        
        I dunno much about engagements or weddings or anything, but I figured it was excitement first, thinking didn't come back into play yet. -- nm - Qale Mar 1, 08:07
  - It's a Friday, no marrying couple should be able to mess up attendee schedules like that. -- nm - Max Mar 1, 07:59
- So many "3 days later" jokes... -- nm - Ender Mar 1, 07:55 1
  - On the plus side, you don't have to decorate the car to send them off, you can just roll a big rock in front of them and seal them in until 3 days later. -- nm - Ender Mar 1, 08:03
- oh dear... - znufrii Mar 1, 07:55
