Is it okay to get married the day before Easter Sunday?

This wedding will not be at a church, i'm not religious and my fiance is orthodox so his easter is the following week. I'm wondering if anyone will have a real problem with a wedding the day before Easter though!Is it okay to get married the day before Easter Sunday?
I see no problem.





Besides, Easter falls on a different day every year anyhow.Is it okay to get married the day before Easter Sunday?
Well, it's not a terrible thing, but it may not be the most considerate thing to do to your guests, considering that Easter is often a family-oriented holiday.





Will you have a lot of out-of-town guests? What time of day are you planning the wedding?





If most of your guests will be local, then you're probably not causing too much trouble for anyone. If you have lots of out of town guests, you might consider planning it for early enough in the day that people could fly home on Saturday afternoon.





Alternately, is there a way that your family could host a post-wedding/Easter brunch on Sunday? It might also be a good idea to provide your out of town guests with information on what Easter services will be available in your area. If they know that they can include the wedding, as well as their religious services and the family fun, then they're more likely to all come, and have a great time.





FYI, this situation came up for a friend of mine. She and her sister-in-law usually host Easter, but the SIL will be out of town this weekend, for a wedding tomorrow. They had their Easter party last weekend, which goes to show that those who love you will accommodate the schedule!
Hi and congratulations!





I really don't see a problem with it if the majority of those you are inviting are also non-religious.





If some are religious, and will be going to Easter services the next day, then perhaps they will be leaving the reception a littler earlier than the others. But other than that...I don't see as it would be a problem.
If you aren't religious and it isn't taking place in a church, there shouldn't be any problem. Most non-religious officiants will work any day except major holidays. You can look up officiants in your area at http://www.projectwedding.com or on the local boards at http://talk.theknot.com
There's nothing wrong with it at all. A church wedding can't take place then (there's no Mass permitted between the end of the Mass of the Lord's Supper on Holy Thursday and the Easter Vigil) but since it's not a church, it makes no difference.
I wouldn't think it would be a problem. You just have to think about your guest. Most of them might be going out of town for the long weekend. While others can travel to your wedding. Hopefully you are talking about Easter next year. If you are just send out save the date cards.
Depends on the type of people who you are inviting. If your guest list consists of a lot of very devout christians you might want to reconsidering. However for most people that would but just fine.
It's your wedding get married ANY day, Easter Sunday if you want. Those people that want to come to your wedding will be there for you no matter what day it';s on. Best wishes to you and yours.
I don't think it should be a problem with any religion. I don't believe that the Saturday before Easter is a religious holiday for anyone.
The only issue I could find with that (as a non-religous person), is that then I would be hung-over for Easter dinner at Grandma's. lol. If people don't like it, they don't have to come.
of course it wont be a problem why wont it? Just go for it!! Congratulations and have a wonderful wedding!
I don't find a problem with it. Congrats!!
why wouldnt it be ok?


its not the day of easter. its not a holiday
I don't see why that wouldn't be alright. But that is tomorrow. Are you sure your ready to get married TOMORROW?
yes
i dont think so
