Maybe, maybe not.

It would be one thing if they selected this date because it winds up being the cheapest for them (cuz, you know, who would have a wedding in Boston then?) and they don't care about the extra expense and hassle their guests get stuck with.

It's something else if the date/location has some special significance to them and/or they selected them without having any idea of the other events...and by the time they learned of them, it was too late to really change it without fucking up a lot of other stuff.

sometimes after you put money down to hold a date it could be hard?

but the "planner" should have flagged this weekend as miserable for the couple.

if you think about how much they gate off the finish line, for floral delivery and caterers this is miserable.

You're assuming an awful lot.

But this wedding is going to be some kind of awesome in terms of the experience for all involved (principals and attendees alike) and the stories they will all tell for the rest of their lives.

You can't buy that shit.

point taken.

i am obviously extremely misanthropic and shudder that someone would actually choose day of the marathon for such a special day, but i see your point.
