What do you guys think about having to go to a wedding on Valentine's Day? Would you go? Or would you maybe opt out because it's supposed to be a romantic day between couples?
Me and future hubby are planning on getting married in February, and it has to be on a Sunday due to his work schedule. We only have 2 days we can fit for that month. The original day we were thinking was Feb. 7th...but turns out, that day is Super Bowl Sunday and he & his friends are huge football fans. So that's not going to work. The only other day in that month would be the 14th (Valentine's) but I don't want to piss anyone off cuz I know that's a special day for couples. At the same time I like the idea because it's romantic.
I would also like to add, this will not be a traditional wedding, other than booking a chapel, there won't be any dinner at a hall afterword. And the ceremony would be pre-dinnertime. Dinner will be at a restaurant afterword, but we expect not everyone will show because it will be "pay your own way". No we're not cheap, but his parents are struggling with money and can't afford to help out with the wedding. Besides, they have already went out of their way buying things for us for our new townhouse (things I'm sure were out of their price range). My parents, that's another story- my parents could afford to help us out, but I can't depend on them for various reasons.
So, given it's going to be a small wedding, do you think the date would be okay? The guest list will be about 30-40 people...about 15 of those are couples.

know it sounds cheap, but we want to get married. I don't care if we get gifts, I made this post to see if ppl would at least just show up to the ceremony
on a holiday.
