A lot of couples are getting married this weekend, and more specifically on Sunday, not because it's a three-day weekend or because a Sunday wedding may be less expensive, but because this Sunday's date is October 10, 2010 also known as 10-10-10.
And similar to 07-07-07 and 08-08-08, a number of couples think that the repetitive number means the date may bring them good luck.
I wish the best of luck and all the happiness in the world to each couple getting married on 10-10-10, but here are some other things to keep in mind when picking your wedding date:
1. Choose a date that doesn't conflict with a business event or other family function that important wedding guests may have a conflict with.
2. If you are having a religious wedding ceremony check with your officiant that there are no religious restrictions to having your wedding on the date you are thinking of.
3. There are some holidays and events that may keep guests away, or at least in front of a TV set during your wedding, such as the Super Bowl, Thanksgiving Weekend and Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.
4. Make sure that other engaged friends or relatives haven't picked that date and are about to send out their save-the-date cards.
5. If it is very important to you that you hire a specific vendor, such as a caterer or photographer or planner, make sure that he or she is available on your wedding date before signing a contract with a venue or other vendors.
