The newest members of the club, Burke and Lawrence said "I do" on Thursday night, May 23, 2019, at the Fairmont Grand del Mar in San Diego, California.

Wearing a dramatic Romona Keveza gown with a six-foot train, Burke, accompanied by her stepfather Bob Wolf, walked down the aisle to meet her husband-to-be as family and friends, including her Dancing costars, looked on.

Burke’s bridal party included matron of honor Leah Remini as well as her sister Nicole and Dancing’s Kym Johnson Herjavec. Lawrence’s two best men were his brothers, actor Joey Lawrence and musician Andy Lawrence.

Three months after announcing their engagement, Kloss and Kushner exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony in upstate New York on Oct. 18, 2018. Though they didn't give a reason for the choice of a Thursday night celebration, the number 18 has special spiritual significance in the couple's Jewish faith.

Two days before Thanksgiving 2017, The View's Meghan McCain — daughter of Senator John McCain — and conservative pundit Ben Domenech tied the knot, right before sunset on Tuesday evening.

McCain and Domenech first got engaged at the Mayo Clinic in July 2017, shortly after her father's brain cancer diagnosis. "We got engaged because we decided to sort of celebrate life and celebrate being alive," she said on The View. "It's not the most romantic story, but he is my partner."

Though they had their nuptials on a Thursday night, that didn't deter a star-studded crowd from coming out to watch the tennis champ and Reddit co-founder say "I do." Eva Longoria, Kim Kardashian West, Caroline Wozniacki and more came out to celebrate the new parents at their New Orleans wedding on Nov. 16, 2017.

Weeknights are clearly the evening of choice for Hollywood's more secretive stars to tie the knot – like Washington and NFL player Asomugha, who married on a Monday (specifically, June 24, 2013) in Idaho, and then managed to keep the big news under wraps for another month.

To be fair, with all of the awards ceremonies they had to attend at the end of 2014, Redmayne pretty much had to marry his longtime love, Bagshawe, during the week. Plus, their Monday, Dec. 15, 2014, wedding allowed them to go on their honeymoon during the holidays, so really, it was a win-win situation.

Tisdale and French chose Monday, Sept. 8, for their big day in 2014 for two important reasons: It signified their anniversary, which is also the 8th, and it allowed Tisdale to be the one to surprise her fans with the big news. Looks like it was a perfect day on all fronts!

Sure, Lavigne and Kroeger married on Monday, July 1, 2014, but it wasn't the day of the week that was a draw for the couple – the two proud Canadians had simply decided to wed on Canada Day, and everything else just fell into place.

Clarkson wanted something low-key for her 2013 wedding to Blackstock (they even cancelled the Nashville wedding they had planned after it got too big), and so a weekday wedding was the perfect way for them to keep things low-key. On Wednesday morning, Oct. 21, Clarkson announced via Twitter that she and Blackstock had eloped the night before, surprising everyone.
