Do you think it's weird to get married on Christmas Day?

Question

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

There is no day of the year that is weird....for a couple to marry...but if you're inviting others, it can be annoying and some would even say selfish to take over a holiday with your wedding because for some this is the only time of year they can see family or get to travel. The closest I've been to a Christmas wedding, was a New Years Eve wedding, and it was awful. At night, the drunks are on the road and we had to travel a LONG way from the church to the reception and then nothing started on time, so it dragged on and people just wanted to be home with their families or at a party of their choosing, and not on the road, so it wasn't exactly a fun time. It was family so didn't really have much of a choice, but what are you going to do?

Seems somewhat attention-seeking to me. Yes, I know Christmas is a special day, but why get married on a day where most people already have plans with their family and friends? Seems selfish to me..
Not to mention how expensive travel is if they're coming to a specific venue or location for it.

If someone insists on having a Christmas themed wedding, do it a week or so before Christmas! Better still after Christmas- you can probably get decorations for cheap as well, lol

Yeah, it's weird. From a planning POV that is one of the worst possible days for a wedding because it's one of the few holidays staff don't want to work so it's way more expensive. And if you need an actual church pastor/priest forget about it. No way would they even bother to agree to do a wedding that day. Also for anybody thinking of doing that day, keep in mind that you basically won't have any normal Christmas day at all. And your anniversary will always be on Christmas which means if/when you ever want to do an anniversary party it will have the same planning issues.

It’s a wonderful and magical way to piss off your friends and family!

People have their own plans to spend Christmas and don’t want to go to a wedding. Many places will be closed and won’t even bother to host your wedding at a banquet hall and even churches would likely not want to hold your ceremony. Then the wedding dinner! Who wants to cook for that on Christmas! Definitely not kitchen workers who got better things to do on Christmas than make 50 to 200 plates of steak or fish!

People probably don’t want to show up for that either.

Brainsbeforebeauty · Answer

Why would it be weird? What greater gift is there than love?

JustinTheGreat · Answer

I don’t think it’s weird but I’d find it super inconvenient. People are trying to spend time with their families on Christmas. Not go to someone’s wedding

EmmaMary · Answer

No absolutely not... I actually got engaged on Christmas Day but sadly couldn't get the following Christmas Day for our wedding as two other couples had already beaten us to it.

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

A lot of churches may refuse it.

also it’s a tad selfish of a couple to drag friends and family away from their own loved ones at Christmas.

That and just what most people want in December, buying presents for a groom and bride, on top of other presents for their own family and friends.

Danisa · Answer

Yes, selfish and unnecessary too. Those people want to spend there time with their families and open presents on Christmas. Not meet and patronise a couple of idiots who couldn't plan properly.

AviatorTom · Answer

Some people think it's weird to get married on any day... just kidding.

It's not weird to get married on Christmas Day or any other holiday. It reduces future couple stress because the husband can never forget an anniversary gift. :-)

Koneko911 · Answer

Not really. I think it could be super nice. Like the decorations could be all icy... like I don't know... seems like you could have the most beautiful wedding then

anon171999 · Answer

If you plan on inviting anyone else yes. Children don't want to go to a wedding. They want to spend the day playing with their new toys.

Pasiton5 · Answer

One day is no different than the next they all have 24 hours in then, but to get married on Christmas day well expect to get one gift for both your marriage and x mas

TheBMG · Answer

Yes I think it could be considered trying to one up Christmas. Plus you need another day in the year to celebrate your Anniversary. Just my opinion. You have to do what you want to do. If the bride and groom decided that’s their thing then go for it. Personally, I would be picking a different date.

Anonymous · Answer

Its a great strategy-you only have to buy her one present and have a perfect excuse not to get together with the extended family because you have to celebrate your anniversary. Getting married on her birthday is second best because of the one present thing but Christmas is better because there is no way you can forget that date.

Wiredone · Answer

I got married 3 days before Christmas but we just went to the justice of the peace. At least nobody will forget when your anniversary is

joeldalton · Answer

Unless you really don't want a lot of guests outside of immediate family, it's odd. I wouldn't leave my family Christmas to go to a friend's wedding.

Anonymous · Answer

No, if you just don't want a big wedding, then having a ceremony and celebrate Christmas sounds kinda nice :D.. expecting a lot of people to come and have a traditional wedding party would be odd.

GaGirls · Answer

Damn this is genius. I'm going to do this haha. Thank you.

average-j0e · Answer

No It's Fun , On Christmas When Small Children Will Be Waiting For Santa Or Their Gifts You Both Would Be Fucking On A Bed Singing Mery Christmas 👶

DeeDeeDeVour · Answer

December 25 is a very special day for one of my friends.  December 25th is her birthday.  It's also the day she got engaged.  The following year, she got married on Christmas Day.

Juststrollinagain · Answer

Ok first of all you need to stop right here. It’s weird to even ask. I’m not Santa or anything. Do you think I’m making a list right now? Wow and you bought your woman into this. Wow.

NathanDavis · Answer

that's baby Jesus day!! not sure my Catholic family background would appreciate that... my grandma rest in peace would rise from the afterlife, I am sure...

InferiorElegy · Answer

Nope never even gave it a thought before. there's probably no day that no one has ever gotten married on so why choose one to think about?

cmarrott · Answer

But think of how difficult it will be to celibate anniversaries once you have children. It won’t ever be the main focus.

I personally put mine away from every other expensive holiday so we could spend money and get away.

t-8900 · Answer

Depends on how you look at it and the couple and the context. Not everyone celebrates Christmas and not everyone has a big family.

diamonddreams · Answer

I think planning a wedding on a holiday is a bit inconsiderate and stupid

exitseven · Answer

It might be a little weird and people will complain about having to go to a wedding on Christmas DAy but you will never forget your anniversary.

Anonymous · Answer

I personally wouldn't want to get married on Christmas Day, or even attend someone else's wedding on Christmas Day, but to each his own.

why_would_you_ask · Answer

Yes. I would do Christmas Eve (a small wedding with only people who actually would give up their Christmas Eve) and have the ceremony go until midnight. Just sounds romantic. I don't know I'm a daydreaming person what can I say.

IveGotNoName · Answer

It's weird if you expect anyone to attend. Just wait until new years!

Alexandrubaschet08 · Answer

i'm not alowd in my religion, because Christmas is not about us, is about others

Luopio27 · Answer

Never thought of that.  I believe, its a great idea. I believve I should do the same, if such a miracle opportunity ever comes.

Anonymous · Answer

i honestly think that's annoying. good luck having anyone attend...

dustybiker · Answer

It could be a day and party nobody would forget.
