dorothy Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 That's the date and place for the wedding we just got invited to. Anyone else raise an eyebrow? DH and I think it's either a stataement like "We will be a living testament that life goes on," OR, the event site is offering a major deal because no one else is willing to get married on that date in that city. It's just such recent horrific history that I can't associate it with anything happy. Interestingly, I was due to walk in two weddings scheduled during that fateful September, both of which were cancelled for later dates and different venues. It was a mess. Anyway, nothing important here, just wondering if anyone else thinks it 's a little weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaTanya Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Is the couple from New York City? I'm not one to attach much significance to dates such as these. I grieved for 2 weeks (at least) on 9/11 and after. Really. I was paralyzed. But now I like to make it a point to do something fun or celebratory on "bad" days. It's a step in my own recovery. To show myself I'm better. Some people have a memorial service; others may plan a wedding. I guess it's all healthy and fine. It's not as if they're disrespecting the victims. I guess I'm saying it wouldn't bother me. Of course, I didn't personally lose a loved one in the attacks. I might feel differently if it was a personal loss. I might be VERY upset if my dad, for instance, decided to get remarried on my mom's birthday or something that. Something that seemed to personally flaunt insensitivity. Just my 2c.

OnTheBrink Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Bear in mind that most of my info about weddings in NYC come from Whose Wedding is it Anyway, but isn't it difficult to book a venue and vendors in NY? Don't people either have to take what they can get or wait a year or longer? I wouldn't bat an eye at a Sept 11 wedding, especially in NYC. I'd figure that was the best date available for their venue and vendors and go and have a great time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paz Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I would like to know what their thinking is. My birthday is 9/11 and I can't bring myself to celebrate it on the 11th, always celebrate in on the 12th now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlett Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I would like to know what their thinking is. My birthday is 9/11 and I can't bring myself to celebrate it on the 11th, always celebrate in on the 12th now. My BIL's is on 9/11 too. Our wedding anniversary is 9/10-- whew!

Parrothead Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I'd probably raise an eyebrow for a bit, then get over it. There are a lot of dates that eventually time has forgotten. The dates of beginnings of wars and battles aren't revered forever. Would it cause distress for a wedding to be held the day the battle of Gettysburg happened? Or the day the first shot was fired from Ft. Sumter? Think of it as an affirmation of life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
