…Well that is exactly what my mum did all the way back in 1959. I can never understand why anyone would get married on that day, so while she is staying with me I thought I would ask her
So mum, why Boxing Day?
Mum: I never really enjoyed Christmas, being the eldest in the family it meant that Christmas to me was always working hard. This way I had a Christmas when I could enjoy it, and others were helping me.
How did your family react?
Mum: My dad was not happy as he always went shooting on Boxing Day, and he had to postpone it…he was not at all impressed with the date…though I got away with it as I know I was the apple of his eye.
What was the best part of getting married on Boxing Day?
Mum: It meant that your Dad never forgot our anniversary!!!
Let me know if you are getting married this Christmas or are celebrating an anniversary….
I think it’s a very thoughtful day to get married. It means your relatives don’t have to travel to two different events.
I got married in the middle of the day and had a lunch reception to same our relatives the money a hotel would cost.
My Grandparents got married on Christmas Eve.
I think it’s selfish, as everyone must think of them instead of Chirstmas. & My gran insists on two presents!
I don’t think it’s selfish. No one needs to remember your anniversary expect your spouse and yourself. Plus people don’t get you presents unless it’s an anniversary like 5, 10, 15, 20 etc…
