I admit, I was not thrilled about going to a wedding over Memorial Day weekend. One of my wife's friends from college got married on Sunday...and I have become friends with the couple over the last few years...great people.
I was an Usher/Videographer for the day...which actually worked out pretty well. I had my business partner running the main camera for the day- so I ran the second camera for the ceremony and got a few other shots here and there.
Enough about me. The big question here is- "Is it OK to plan your wedding on a holiday weekend?"
I guess the answer depends on who you ask and what your motives are to have your wedding over a long weekend.
For this couple, there were a lot of people from out-of-town that needed to travel to Minnesota for the wedding. The groom grew-up in Nebraska- and still has a lot of friends and family there. Their goal was to provide people an extra travel day by having it over Memorial Day weekend. I think that makes a lot of sense...and I am sure their out-of-town guests really appreciated the extra day.
If most of the people coming to your wedding are less than a plane ride away, I would take a look at your motives...People here in Minnesota really value their holiday weekends- with cabin trips and other personal vacations that are planned around these holidays. You may upset some people if you are asking them to give up their weekend.
The 4th of July falls on a Saturday this year...anyone have any weddings planned for that weekend?
