September 'increasingly popular for weddings'

September nuptials have risen in popularity and increasing numbers of people are hiring a wedding venue during the month, it has been revealed.

Insurance firm Ecclesiastical claims Friday September 3rd to Sunday September 5th is the most popular weekend of the year to tie the knot.

A total of 2.5 per cent of all weddings being held in 2010 will take place this at this time.

The weekend beginning Friday September 12th is the second favourite among brides and grooms-to-be when doing their wedding planning.

Dave Simms, personal lines insurance manager at Ecclesiastical, said the reason people choose the beginning of September is obvious.

"The weather is still at its best for the photographs and videos, but hopefully not as unsettled as it can sometimes be in July and August these days," he explained.

In 2009, weekends in July were the most popular for saying "I do".

Earlier this year, the insurance provider reminded couples tying the knot abroad to ensure they have the correct type of cover for the event.
