Couples Shy Away From 9/11 Wedding Date
 

When Melanie Lawrence got engaged last month and started making wedding arrangements, she quickly discovered a common problem facing brides who want to get married this September.

Reception halls, florists and churches often are booked for all Saturdays that month except one: Sept. 11, the third anniversary of the terrorist attacks.

Many couples are picking other weekends or holding ceremonies other days of the week. Lawrence decided to get married on Sept. 5 instead, although it falls on a Sunday.

I can believe it, I would not choose that date either.
