We were married in May. We tried other dates but nothing worked for the extended families. Finally we got tired of dancing around everyone. We specifically chose the DAY we got married because it was the day before Mother's Day. Neither of our moms had spent Mother's Day with all of their kids in at least 10 years, if not longer. We wanted to give our moms the gift of having Mother's Day with their kids (and my grandma too, but not all of her kids made it to the wedding) so we chose to get married the day before and then have a big brunch together on Mother's Day. <3 Our mothers were both touched, especially DH's mom who just cried and cried when we told her why we wanted that day.
In the grand scheme of things... May is a crazy busy month for us and our anniversary always falls to the wayside. We always have school stuff going on and we have my son's half birthday (we are a crazy family who celebrates the halves just like we do the real birthdays, minus the friend party) and DH's birthday which is 4 days after our anniversary. This year DH's birthday and Mother's Day was on the same day. Some years it is our anniversary and Mother's Day on the same day. Declan's half birthday is the day before our anniversary so all 4 things tend to blend in to one. Should have planned better. LOL
