Just from looking at these dates and cross-referencing them with the day of the week and major holidays, it would seem the following is true:

  • Weekends (including Friday) are more popular.

  • People are superstitious and do not like the 13th of any month lol.

  • Mid August - August 18th in particular - looks to be the most popular, but so do other weekends in August. (Again, excluding the 13th lol.) Summer months in general are popular.

  • Some people really like getting married on Valentines Day, but not the rest of February or the cold months in general.

  • Very few couples want to get married on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day. However, New Year’s Eve seems to be slightly above-average for December.

Altogether, not too surprising, but interesting nonetheless.

February 14th? Do people really get married on corporate love marketing day?

Think of the savings! One gift, anniversary and Valentine's Day is covered. And the whole corporate world reminds you. Just be sure the wedding flowers are NOT red roses.

Excludes February 29.
