Why is summer a more popular time to get married than the winter?

[StormRider]

I'm fat. Fat people sweat -- especially if we have to dress up. Getting a lot of dressed up people into a church (or something) in the summer is a recipe for sweating. Wouldn't winter be a better time to get married? It's cooler so we won't sweat as much.

Get married in winter, honeymoon in Colorado...

Skiing all day, doing the deed all night. My kind of life.

The skinny people do it on purpose to keep the fatties away.

Lose some weight, Fatty. It is your problem, not the newlyweds.

try wearing a wedding dress in a winter storm. (even if you are male)

I don't think most people want to wear winter boots to their wedding.

Because no one wants to get married in the cold 😉

I would personally prefer fall or winter for any marriage that I might have... but... this thread is just... WTF?

I have a cousin that is getting married on top of a mountain in Huntsville, AL next week. Should be pretty hot. I'm not going to be able to make it though because we just had a baby and my wife still has to recover from the c-section. My other cousin in Huntsville was married two winters ago in Huntsville. Pretty chilly but it was inside. I'm not sure I'd take one over the other though.

August isn't the best time for an outdoor wedding but I would have gone regardless if we had been able. It is family.

the weather is better. the last thing i want is rain on my wedding day. *cues alanis*

Ever hear the term "nipping out"? Yeah, not a good look for the bride-to-be.

Seriously, you have Thanksgiving and Christmas in the winter. Vacation times are being used up, money is being spent on presents, it makes it hard for the guests.

Or a blizzard, or an ice storm. Even if it doesn't hit the area where the wedding is happening, it may prevent important family members from getting there. Or prevent you from keeping your honeymoon plans.

Plus you have a lot more religious holidays between Christmas and Easter, so it's harder to get the church and the preacher (or whatever you wanna call him) coordinated.

Also flowers are priced higher when they are out of season.
