Jamie Wolfer explains why setting a wedding date on September 11 creates unnecessary confusion. Guests will misread 9/11 and think the wedding is on a different day, forcing constant clarification. Pick another date and skip the extra friction.
do not use 9/11 or September 11th. Baby girl, you're getting married on 9/11, people will know. I just want to know what the invitations are going to look like. Like, what are you going to do the day after Friday, September 10th? Like, do you know the amount of people that are going to be confused and the amount of times you are going to have to out loud verbally say, no, the wedding's the next day, so September 11th? Like, you're trying to avoid this whole association with something that happened 25 years ago, almost 25 years ago. Wow. I feel very old. Shut it. Don't say anything. We're moving on. No, say nothing. Okay. But instead of just addressing it straight on, you're being weird about it and convoluted, and now you're going to engage in more conversations around it than you initially intended to have.
