I'm looking for opinions. What do you think of a wedding on Easter Sunday?
This wasn't a real choice. The date was picked not realizing that it was Easter. We wanted to change it but couldn't get a date that would fit schedules.

The problem with selecting a holiday is that most people will want to spend the holiday with family. So, if you're inviting every family member from both sides (which could be impossible) this may not be an issue. But, then you have the friends. Who will attend the wedding if they want to be with their families or if they have to travel to be with family? A good host always considers their guests' feelings and comfort when planning an event, especially one as important as a wedding.
My opinion is to try to find a better date. The fact that you're already "getting grief" about this date is telling. You may never be able to suit every guests' schedule. But, you'll get less static when the date selected is not a holiday.
Good luck with your plans. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".

Frankly, to have a wedding on Easter, Christmas, Thanksgiving or New Year's Eve is perceived as inconsiderate. You most likely will not only hear grief from those who attend, but there may be those who will not attend because of family needs or religious obligations.

I completely agree. Of course, this is an issue the couple must deal with. Hopefully, they will consider their guests when they make their final decision. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
