The 4th is important to me

Tweet

I met my now husband on April 4th, 2014 (our first date). We fully moved in together on February 4th, 2015. He proposed to me on October 4th, 2015. Since all these things happened on the 4th I wanted to get married on the 4th as well, hopefully some time in 2016. We could only get married on a Sunday so it was hard to find a month when the 4th was a Sunday and the weather was not too cold or too hot. One option was June 4th but I felt it would already be pretty hot. Plus, getting married in June would be more expensive because it's wedding peak season. Another option was September 4th. It was a Sunday as well but it was very close to the Jewish holidays. Also, September 4th was the date his parents got married and I did not want to share our date with them. The next option was December 4th. It was great for me because I am a December baby. However, I wanted an outdoor ceremony and that wasn't going to happen in December. Plus, parents were against it because it could potentially snow and that would make the commute for the guests difficult. Much to my disappointment and not wanting to do it, I parted with the 4th and chose to have my wedding on November 6th because my mom (who was paying half for the wedding) told me to have the wedding in 2016. She was against pushing it to 2017. Not only did I not get married on the 4th but I didn't get an outdoor ceremony either. Yeah, it was a little chilly maybe but it wasn't very cold. We could have had an outdoor ceremony. I also didn't get to take all the pictures I wanted. And not everything went smoothly or the way I wanted it to go. But it was still a great day.
