We got married 11-11-11. DH loved the numbers so we had to just find a venue that worked and had the date available still. We got engaged Christmas 2010, so I figured most places would be booked already because it would be popular. We also made sure our immediate families were ok with a Friday wedding, and everyone was good so we did it.
I'm also in MN. I wanted fall so it wouldn't be too hot. I went with 9/19/09 because I figured I could easily remember it. Turns out September is still not safely into fall and it was 80 degrees.

I wanted a spring or summer wedding. We got engaged in Aug. Our venue starts taking reservations a year in advance and I wanted about a year to plan. So we picked a weekend in Aug.

I am a teacher so I wanted a summer wedding. We decided on July & picked the 15th to stay away from the 4th travel/holiday madness. After we chose it & put deposits down MIL told us it was her wedding anniversary w/ FIL (they had a very ugly divorce & DH had no idea when their anniversary was).

Told the hotel the day I wanted and then waited for them to call me back with the day that was available. We wanted Saturday Oct 20th and ended up with Sunday Oct 21st--so we got married on my dad and SIL's birthday.
