Birthdays happen every year, but weddings come much more rarely! Would you double-up on your celebrations and get married on your birthday? Why or why not?

Are any of your guests celebrating their bday on your wedding day?

    Our birthdays are a week apart in December. Plus our sons is the days before his and my baby sister five days before that and my brother and his wife are both in the last week of December plus Christmas. So no.... Although we did consider doing it in December and just adding to the celebration. But it would have just been to much obviously. 😂😂😂😂

    I probably wouldn't care. Neither FH or I really celebrate our birthdays, so it's not really an issue. However, my birthday falls on Thanksgiving every few years, so that would make it more of an issue than anything.

    I am trying to avoid it, but if we found the perfect vendor for the perfect price I wouldn't say no. I really hope we can find a day that's not November 10!!

    FH wanted to have the wedding on my birthday to save up on gifts (he likes to go all out when it comes to gifts and special occasions) we will be getting married about 2 weeks before my birthday so my birthday will be the last day of our honeymoon.

    Lol well I'm obsessed with my birthday soooo this will be my biggest bday party yet!! Haha... I'm getting married on my birthday on April 20th this year. I'm super excited. I also feel like after 30 you cant really have a ton of big parties so I dont really care about any potential of the wedding taking away from my birthday

    Rather not.

    1 - the more occasions to celebrate the better. 2 - when one of the couple passes away, this day becomes very sad.

    I personally would not because my fiancé and I actually have the same exact birthday. We also got engaged on our 29th birthday so it’s already special for us.

    My FH proposed on my 30th birthday so while I enjoy it being our engagement anniversary, I wouldn't want it to be our wedding anniversary lol. My bridesmaid/best friend has a birthday the day after our wedding so she'll be celebrating doubly lol.
