To ensure they land a venue amid the nuptial rush, desperate lovebirds have planned to tie the knot on a questionable day: the 20th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone is making the best of a situation,\u201d Houston\u2019s Brian Zager, 37, whose wedding is slated for 9\/11,\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/08\/27\/style\/september-11-weddings.html\">told the New York Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When his soon-to-be-spouse Suzie Cohen, 39, first <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roached him with the date, the podcaster was reluctant as he was interviewing the kids of the victims of the infamous terrorist attacks, which killed nearly 3,000 people on September 11, 2001. <\/p>\n<p>However, the pair has since come around as no other dates were available at their desired venue. This is perhaps unsurprising, given that 2021 saw twice as many people get married in the United States as during the year preceding the pandemic, in 2019, according to a study by <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wedinsights.com\/report\/covid-the-knot-real-weddings\">The Knot.<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>By a similar token, New York\u2019s Angeline Disante, 29,\u00a0and her fianc\u00e9 finally agreed on a September 11th wedding after COVID forced them to delay their big day twice in 2020, the Times reported. Similarly to Zager and Cohen\u2019s situation, it was the only open day at their go-to event space in New Rochelle.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, it might seem insensitive to get hitched on the anniversary of the worst attack on U.S. soil since Pearl Harbor \u2014 akin to holding a frat party at a funeral. There\u2019s even an <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theknot.com\/content\/wedding-dates-to-avoid\">article on The Knot<\/a> explicitly telling people to avoid getting married on September 11, 2021.<\/p>\n<p>However, many wedding planners are willing to give a pass in light of recent events. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>\u201cI think most people are like, \u2018Come on.

She received an overwhelmingly supportive response.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s disrespectful at all,\u201d wrote one ride-or-die gal. \u201cLife doesn\u2019t stop just because something bad happened on that date years ago. If that were the case, nearly every day would be off-limits, because if you look back in history, bad things have happened on most days.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Another chimed in: \u201cI think people are always looking for good memories to have on days that stand out as being anniversaries of more somber events, so I would not hesitate to have a wedding on this date unless you are aware of guests having lost a loved one during the 9\/11 attacks. If you don\u2019t live near NYC or the Pentagon you are probably in the clear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>VW, for one, says no one should fear getting married on September 11th, even if they can see the Tribute in Light \u2014 the annual 9\/11 memorial display \u2014 in the background of their wedding ceremony. <\/p>\n<p>Speaking about his September 11 wedding clients, he said, \u201cI\u2019m just happy now that my couple will be able to turn a negative experience into something positive for them that looks to the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wedding planners no doubt hope that the wedding-scheduling tsunami will help revive their flatlining profession. In 2020, the wedding industry saw a $30 billion drop\u00a0from the previous year as couples canceled their big days and spent their wedding stipend on a variety of other ventures.<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
