• More engagements take
place between Christmas
Eve and Valentine’s Day
than at any other time
of year.
• June is the most popular
wedding month and then
September. The least
popular? January.
• For centuries, June has
been the most practical
month to get married. In
the past, it was the time
after planting and before
harvesting; spring rains
had ceased and the roads
were passable once more.
Today, it is the month
of graduation.
