Best Answer

Jews can marry on any day of the week, with the possible exception of the Sabbath.

Now, to go a little further ... it often happens that the couple would appreciate

the presence of some friends and relatives at their wedding. If that's what they

want, then it's considerate of them to plan their wedding for a day that might be

more convenient for those they plan to invite, such as a day when most people

are not working.

In most of the world, particularly the West, where the social cycle and schedule

are Christian-based, that means Sunday.

In Israel, where the "weekend" is Friday and Saturday, in deference to the

Muslim and Jewish Sabbaths respectively, Friday is often a convenient day for

a Jewish wedding see also the Discussion page).

Our daughter, who is Jewish, was married on a Tuesday evening. A good time

was had by all.
