Events in My Family Tree: June 15

One of the outcomes of doing this exercise is that I am becoming aware of juxtapositions of dates.  George Trombulak, who was married June 15, was born June 9.  June 15 was a Friday, which doesn't seem much of a marriage date to me, but his birthday was a Saturday, which seems more so.  How did they decide on the 15th for the wedding?  Did the ongoing war have any effect on the choice?
