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 a civil partnership though. I wonder if they count those?

Cool link! We were actually on honeymoon with a couple who got married on the same day - weird at first but spent a fair bit of time celebrating with them 🥂

Over 6000 here, but what would be more interesting is to know how many were still married!

bruffin · 18/05/2018 18:37

I got married too long ago Grin

2000 odd on a date where the average is 400 and something. Saturday in December.

TheDowagerCuntess · 18/05/2018 18:54
  1. I'm surprised the number is that high.

We don't actually figure in that number, as we didn't get married in the UK.

However, it's a winter date in the UK (summer where we got married), so I thought the number would be a lot lower.

MmeGuillotine · 18/05/2018 18:55

399 - it was Friday the 13th so that's more than expected!

PlatypusPie · 18/05/2018 18:57

What I found really interesting from that article was that only 58% of weddings in 2015 took place on a weekend. Really ?
