Choosing a wedding date on a holiday is popular for couples for sentimentality and making it easier to get their families together. Each year, as couples plan their weddings, much thought and creativity goes into picking the perfect date to represent their marriage in the coming years – and 2025 is no different. On top of the wedding date being a future anniversary, couples often lean towards dates with significant meaning.
From numerically significant dates to holidays that are also festive occasions, couples look for dates that symbolize unity, luck, and seasonal charm. To make their wedding days that much more special, couples think about numerical symmetry or read into days that have significant importance in some cultures, to solidify the day as a sign of good luck for their marriage
Top Wedding Dates for 2025
May 25th (5/25/25)
This date falls on a Sunday, combining beautiful weather with a long weekend and making it ideal for a big family wedding. This late date offers a great way to kick off the summer wedding season while also looking great on a wedding invitation with the symmetry of fives and twos.
May 5th (5/5/25)
Much like the date above, but earlier in the month, this day is a great choice because of the repetition of the number five. A date with strong numerological symmetry gives off themes of balance and harmony, making it a sign of good luck for the marriage. Repeating numbers has universal appeal and is often seen as lucky or auspicious by couples. In addition to that, couples who like math also appreciate that the multiplication of the day and month equals the year.
October 10th (10/10/25)
Dubbed the “Perfect Ten Day,” this date symbolizes unity and completeness. Falling in October, this day is also perfect for an autumnal wedding to close out the warmer months. It’s hard to beat a date that feels this perfect. Couples love the idea of starting their marriage on a day that falls on the same number as the month.
July 4th (Independence Day):
This is a patriotic and celebratory option ideal for couples who want fireworks in their love story. The time of year also allows for a warm outdoor wedding. This is an unbeatable choice for couples who love vibes and celebrating with grand gestures. It’s also a national holiday, so most family members won’t have to use their vacation days to attend.
December 12th (12/12/25)
Another repeating number date, this wedding choice falls on a Friday next year and is far enough away from Christmas to not be overshadowed by it. These weddings are gaining traction, and this date pairs festive charm with easy-to-remember significance.
December 31st (New Year’s Eve)
This glamorous date choice is a great way to ring in the New Year with friends and no one will ever forget your wedding anniversary. Starting the year as newlyweds creates a fresh beginning that guests will talk about for years. Because most people want to be out celebrating the New Year anyway, hosting a wedding makes the occasion that much more exciting. The only concession the couple will have to make is that they won’t be the only ones sharing a kiss at midnight.
February 14th (Valentine’s Day)
The day of love falls on a Friday in 2025, so it’s even more appealing for a wedding date as it kicks off the weekend. For hopeless romantics, there’s no better day to celebrate a joyous union.
August 8th (8/8/25)
The number eight is considered extremely lucky, especially in Chinese culture, for its association with prosperity, so having two on your wedding date is a double win. If you’re looking for a prosperous marriage, then this date may be the right choice for you.
Choosing the right date is the first step to making a dream wedding come true. Although no one can predict the future or the weather on the day you choose, certain days might just feel right when you start looking at the calendar. By aligning the date with their vision, couples set the stage for a celebration that’s uniquely theirs.
Couples looking to book popular dates should act fast, as high-demand venues and vendors fill up quickly. Whether it’s a unique date pattern, a seasonal backdrop, or tying the knot on a sentimental holiday, couples are making their big day even more special by choosing significant dates.
