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.)

  1. It was February so not surprised it is so low. That’s an awesome tool.

  1. Just before 911. A Friday.

@hellsbellsmelons that is a lot. Did you get married on Valentine's Day?

Russell Brand and Katy Perry shared our anniversary briefly.

2,416

However we did get married in the US, so ours won't even be amongst these numbers.

This wasn't specifically linked to the royal wedding but Harry & Meghan, if you're reading:

On average, there are 839 marriages on 19 May.
This day ranks 144 out of 366 days in popularity.

MiggeldyHiggins · 19/05/2018 17:21

mangomama91 · 19/05/2018 17:22

Wow 5186!

Heartofglass12345 · 19/05/2018 17:41

Mines may 4th so probably mostly Star Wars fans Grin

BitchQueen90 · 19/05/2018 17:44
  1. I'm divorced now but was married in February which isn't a popular month. Exactly why we chose it, it was cheaper! 319th rank.
purplevamp · 19/05/2018 18:05

3,189 for my wedding day. We've been married 11 years now Smile

theoriginalpineappletart · 19/05/2018 18:35

1584 if I've got the date right

  1. I think it was a Sunday. Saturday was about double the price and we only had a small wedding.
jobbymcginty · 19/05/2018 19:31

535 for us I'm surprised I'd thought it be less seeing it was 3 days after Christmas

wendiwoowho · 19/05/2018 19:36

166 for us!

cutie101 · 19/05/2018 22:23

Only 95 weddings on my wedding day, a weekend in mid march... Can't believe so few. I even know one other of the 95, who were our neighbours at the time we got married.

SageYourResoluteOracle · 19/05/2018 22:28

5230 for mine! Wow!

HotSauceCommittee · 19/05/2018 22:33

1921 people were married on 16/08/2002 like us; the 25th anniversary of Elvis’s death. Lovely sunny day.
