Wedding Season is Over...or is it?

Are you like us and thought that the traditional wedding season is over for the year? Are you under the impression that June, July and August are the most popular months to tie the knot? Well, you are right. But to my surprise, only just.

Though the summer months are the most popular for weddings (those months being different for our friends reading in Australia and New Zealand, of course!) you can see from the chart below that, actually, people get hitched at all times of the year.

Don't feel you have to have a summer wedding just because you think that's what's popular. The truth is, you can have an absolutely lovely wedding at any time of the year and if you choose one of the "off season" months, you might even save a little money and encounter less competition for services. One suggestion we might give is that if you are planning wedding with many guests from out of town, you might consider the cost of travelling at certain times of the year. It's often less expensive during the off season.

No matter when you get married, do it on your terms (yours and your partner's, that is!) and try to spend some time thinking about the marriage as well as the wedding. CouplesQuestions.com may help you do that.

Happy Couples, Happy Planet!
