My fiance and I have finally picked a date: May 26, 2010. It is the anniversary of our engagement. Unfortunately it falls on a Wednesday. I really want to be married on May 26th, but people keep telling me that a weekday is too hard for people to get off from work.
I really don't think the day of the week should matter since the date has meaning for us. The people who matter the most to us - our parents - will have no problem being there. We would love for everyone we invite to be able to come, but at the same time we would understand if they can't make it.
Is it wrong to have our wedding on a weekday?

As long as you're OK that many guests will not be able to make it, or will have to leave early for the ride home, then have your wedding on a weekday.
Check with your parents, siblings and the most important guests on your list - grandparents, closest friends - and find out what their thoughts are. You may also want to send out a save-the-date card so guests have time to make the necessary travel arrangements.
The good thing about a weekday wedding is that you'll be able to get some great deals on vendors and on a location.
