225 couples got married on the same day I did, would have expected more (don't know why).

If you are married, is yours higher or lower than this? (You can find out through the BBC link below.)

304 for us but it was a Sunday

  1. Was a Friday in August. Thought it would be less!
FriendlyOcelot · 18/05/2018 19:01

Over 5000.

Interesting that 30th August is the most popular day. I know two couples who married that day off the top of my head. It makes sense to go off on honeymoon just as the kids go back to school!

750 for us. We got married on a Wednesday morning in NYC though.

I got married on 10.11.12, so more popular than November would normally be, I think!

We had two dates roughly two months apart in two different countries. 132 got married on our first and 4078 on our second date. The first date was a Monday... says it all really.

465- I don’t know what I expected really but it’s very interesting.

OFuckShitAndBollocks · 18/05/2018 19:40

Providing I remembered the right date!

ALittleBitofEverything111 · 18/05/2018 19:58

1,411 I wonder how many of them are still married? It’s a shame there isn’t a link for that info too 💔

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 18/05/2018 20:06
