Q.
I want to get married on Easter Sunday next year, both because I want to get married in April and it’s the only available weekend that month with the vendors I want to use. I have asked my relatives and many friends if it would interfere with their traditions too much to get married on Easter and the vast majority say it is fine, but I am wondering if you have advice about getting married on this day. Can I expect a low turnout because it is a Christian holiday?
A.
First you'll have to confirm whether or not your officiant will perform a wedding on this holiday -- note that Easter is the holiest holiday in the Christian calendar and it is highly unlikely that a priest will perform a wedding ceremony on this day. Also in the Catholic religion, weddings are not performed during the Lenten season. Your officiant will most likely be extremely busy observing the holiday, and probably wouldn't want to focus on anything other than the fact that it's Easter. Also, remember that getting married on a holiday may be a hassle for guests who have to sit in traffic and pay more for airfare and hotels. However, if you're having a non-denominational ceremony and your Christian guests are okay with coming to your wedding, then it's up to you whether or not to have your wedding on that date.
