We’ve been asked a few times how we picked our wedding date, so we figured we might as well share the story with everyone! Nope—it’s not our anniversary, the day we met, or a random date we pulled out of a hat. When I first met Wayne and we were in that 50 Questions to Get to Know You phase, one of the classic questions came up: “When’s your birthday?” Wayne said, “April 23rd. What about you?” I said, “How fun!! Mine is September 23rd!” Then he replied with, “Oh, that’s funny. My mom, dad, brother, and I were all born on the 23rd of different months.” So there I was, also born on the 23rd of a different month, clearly meant to join this 23 Club. But wait—there’s more! We met when Wayne was 23 years old, the first birthday we celebrated while living together was my 23rd, and we got engaged and had our son in 2023. At this point, the number 23 wasn’t just following us—it was practically waving a flag and jumping up and down. So naturally, I checked the calendar to see if there was a Saturday the 23rd in 2025. Turns out, there was exactly one—in August. Fun fact: I always dreamed of getting married in August or September, so when I saw that date, I just knew it was our day. Wayne agreed without hesitation. So here we are, counting down the days until we get to celebrate August 23rd with all of our favorite people!
