Will you arrange your wedding in the weekends?

Yeah youless, it's nice to arrange one's wedding ceremony on either Saturday or Sunday if wishing more guests to attend the happy occasion. We would be in a great pleasure to see all our loved ones, relatives as well as good friends and colleagues to be present in this special great day. my husband and I wished to see all our guests invited attending our wedding therefore we picked Saturday as our wedding day as well. My mother in law picked an auspicious (lucky) day for us according to the chines "tongshu" (a book shown the best or worst day and time the whole year for people who belive in this to go along all kind of activities or occasions. She hoped that every thing would go smootly and fortunately, as well as her son and I could live in conjugal bliss to a ripe old age, if choosing the right and lucky day to arrage our wedding Happy posting!

I've never been married, but if I did get married,I wouldn't know who to invite, so it wouldn't really matter what day it was on.

We were married on a Sunday...but more than the convenience, there was another reason. In our community, it is customary to match the horoscopes of the bride and groom and then the astrologer fixes a date (or maybe a couple of days) that are auspicious for this couple. We then have to choose one of the dates based on convenience. But it's always a date the astrologer chooses.

Just for you I will imagine a wedding , my own, lol! I would have it on a Sunday Night.I would marry at night and then travel in the morning. Monday morning to the honeymoon location.

Weekend is the best time for the occasion, those of your busy relatives have ample time to attend and witness your special day wherein you are the Superstar on that big day.

I agree with you.A lot of people usually dayoff in the weekend,if your wedding arranged that day,people may have enough time to prepare,such as going out early for avoiding traffic jam.Have a good day!

I have been married twice, because I was a widow. My second marriage was on a Sunday, right after church if I remember correctly. That way church friends were ready. Maybe it was a Saturday. It has been a few years. My first wedding many people could not attend, as I did plan it on a Friday, in the late afternoon. Some of that had to do with the schedule for the church building as well.

Everyone in my family has gotten married on a Saturday, because that was the best time for all of us to get together. Whether we lived local to the wedding venue, or across the country, or in another country, Saturday was always the best day for all of us, ecause of work and travel.

Hi youless! Ours is an arranged marriage.In our households, a lot of imoprtance is given to the day and it has to be on an auspicious day that suits the birthstar of the bride and groom. An astrologer decides on a few dates [we have to specify the month]and gives us options to choose from this. Normally Satudays and Tuesdays are taboo for weddings .Mine was on a wednesday.

Hello youless. When my wife and I got married, it was my parents who arranged the wedding date, but we were still very happy with it because we thought and still think that our seniors know better about fixing the wedding date. Still I remember that all of our friends and relatives and neighbors came to our wedding, a day that is one of the most meaningful day in our life.

Hi Youless ,I agree its best to arrange weddings on holidays since it becomes convenient for people to attend...How ever my wedding was on a thursday because according to our Hindu custom our wedding day is chosen by a priest after matching/checking the horoscope of the bride and groom and in my case thursday was considered very auspicious for the ceremony....

I would definitely arrange my wedding on a weekend, cause I don't want to burden my guests into having to leave from work because I'm getting married. My cousin on the other hand has decided to have hers on a thursday, which really sucks, cause I'm busy at work and I don't have that much leave credits left. And I can't really not go, cause I am part of the entourage. I just hate it when they don't consider the lives of their guests. Tsk.tsk.tsk.

Hi,youless. Yes,we arranged our wedding on Saturday or Sunday. We went to wedding of my friend on last Sunday and we will go to the wedding on this Saturday. Monday to Friday ,I have to go to work,study,take care of my kid,a lot of things wait me to do .I have no time to go to a wedding. Have a nice day. Good luck.

i'm not sure,but i will choose a special day.Maybe the date we meet the first day.

you are right, most people are busy during weekdays. some sleep early for they need to get up early in the morning, plus kids needs to go to school. every one is always in a rush on a weekday. some people can not attend when you put some kind of celebration in a day were they are busy. so any celebration here in our country are mostly weekends. birthdays, weddings, reunions, anniversary and others are always celebrated during weekdays.
