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.)

I was surprised that our wedding day was about 3.5 times more popular than the average popularity for that date - around 1800 compared with an average of 500 - until I remembered that we got married on a Saturday Blush

Checked my parents as not married myself - 41 got married and it's the 364th most popular day of the year!

1,237 for us. We married on a Friday so I'd imagined it would be far lower.

Just found this website genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london (hope it works, I took my wedding date off the end).

It tells you what TV programmes were on that day...

Kilroy, The Demon Headmaster and Film 99 with Johnathan Ross!

probably more of interest if you have been married a while Grin

168 here, it was a random Monday in October so I'd expect a low number

Stormishborn · 18/05/2018 22:31

It's our anniversary tomorrow, 3833 on ours, obviously the popular choice!

For my date millions of years ago it says

On average, there are 1,121 marriages on .

It was 34 odd years ago and it seems like the figures are for the last 20 years

NeedForBlossom · 19/05/2018 00:16

@oldraver it starts 1st January 1995.

Congratulations on having the longest marriage on this thread if you are still married Grin
