LeBron James' Super-Cute Save the Date, His Questionable Wedding Date—Plus, 3 Things You Don't Want YOUR Wedding Date to Conflict With!

I don't know why I love LeBron James, but his perma-grin gets me every time. Maybe it's because he does loads of charity work with kids. Maybe it's because he's marrying his high school sweetheart, Savannah Brinson, who he's been dating since they were both 16. {*Awwwww! *} Regardless, when I spotted their super-cute save-the-date caricature over on TMZ, the first thing I thought was, "Of COURSE I love LeBron's save the date."

The two little guys are LeBron and Savannah's kids, LeBron Jr. and Bryce. Hey, guys! How 'bout YOU get a little cuter? Not possible? Yeah, you're right.

I'm slightly less enthusiastic about his wedding date, since September 13 is the first night of Yom Kippur, one of the holiest holidays in the Jewish faith, which involves a 24ish-hour fast.

Obviously you don't need to consider Jewish holidays if you won't have any Jewish wedding guests, but I'm guessing LeBron will. Micky Arison, owner of the Miami Heat (LeBron's current team) is Jewish. And a few years ago, LeBron hired Rabbi Yishayahu Yosef Pinto as a financial adviser. Will either be at LeBron's wedding? Who knows. But I'm assuming he and his bride hired a wedding planner, and I'm hoping the wedding planner at least mentioned the questionable timing.

Here are some other dates to cross-check when you're choosing your wedding date:

1. Major Holidays

If you'll have Christian wedding guests, skip Easter and Christmas (although the latter will be in the middle of the week for the next few years). If you'll have Jewish wedding guests, plan around Passover, Rosh Hashanah, and Yom Kippur. (Rory's, like, the least-observant Jew ever, and he celebrates all those.) Beyond religious holidays, you should be double-checking if your prospective wedding dates fall on Memorial Day, July Fourth, Labor Day, or Thanksgiving weekends. It's fine to have your wedding on any of those weekends, but if most of your guests will have to travel, plane tickets and hotel rooms will be WAY more expensive, and the roads will be more crowded.
