Actually, I've just spent about an hour going through those pre WWII
marriages where I have an exact date, and most of the church weddings
are on a Sunday, or 25th or 26th Dec. The Register office weddings are

In 1881 Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, were the favourite days for weddings,
these three days stand much on a par with each other. In both county and
town, Friday was a day on which marriages were rare
