Sleigh Bells and Wedding Bells

I’m quite surprised by Hallmark’s findings that many couples don’t think that December is a good wedding month. August topped the survey, followed by June and July.

The festive mood of December should make it an ideal month for exchanging vows. Just imagine, renting a hillside villa for your honeymoon, waking on a chilly morning in each other’s arms, playing in the snow, and sipping a hot cup of chocolate thereafter.

But, then again, ‘tis the season of runny noses. Indeed, who would want to sniff their way through their “I dos.” I guess I’m just biased because December is my favorite month.

I haven’t randomly checked some marriage records yet to verify if the 9th place finish of my favorite month in Hallmark’s survey was justified. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised if I would only find two or three of these vital records that bear the month of December as the date of marriage.
