About Israel, the summer wedding season
In Israel the wedding season runs from the end of the Omer mourning to the days before Rosh Hashanah. Halls hold two or more weddings a night, often outdoors, and Thursday and Tuesday are as busy as Saturday night, since Saturday is the Sabbath. Between the Three Weeks and Tisha B'Av, from about July to August, many religious couples pause for a few weeks, so dates cluster before and after. Some families also marry after Sukkot, in the autumn.
