More Wedding Stats

Posted on by

My interest lately has been turned into looking closely at the truth about weddings and engagements. My first article in this series addressed some statistics about couple who are engaged. My second article began looking into the actual wedding planning and ceremony. However that article only began to touch what I have discovered about weddings and marriage. Therefore more discussion will be needed. Earlier I mentioned that the most common month for getting married is June. I also mentioned that the largest percentage of weddings are held in some form of church. I also discovered that over half of weddings … Continue reading →

In my last article I mentioned how I had done some research on weddings and engagements. The article gave some engagement stat highlights. The spotlight will now turn more on weddings themselves. As many assume, June is the most popular choice of months for weddings. This was common knowledge with most people. However did you know, the follow up months are August, September, October, and then May? I found it odd that July was skipped in the mist. I wonder if it has anything to do with the hot weather? Each year American weddings total over 2.4 million ceremonies. With … Continue reading →

Choosing a Wedding Date

What made you choose your wedding date? Did that date have special meaning for you or was it a case of what was available? Does the date matter? For us, it was a date already meaningful. It was a date I already had inscribed on one ring -the friendship ring Mick gave me. Exactly two years to the date and as close as we could get it to the hour and minute that Mick put my engraved friendship ring on my right hand, he was putting my wedding ring on the left ring finger of my left hand. It was … Continue reading →

No Wedding in Sight?

Posted on by

The season of weddings is well upon us. As a previous article on wedding stats revealed, summer months rank very high in wedding ceremonies. When friends, relatives, and others begin planning and talking of weddings, those who are not married may begin to also dream of their own plans. In life we seem to live in stages or steps.

For example some are moving out of our parents’ home, choosing a career, getting a job, and yes marriage and children. Relationships also move in … Continue reading →
