Planning a wedding at any point in your life is no mean feat, but planning a wedding while pregnant?! That's one mammoth task. Think about it: you've got booze to arrange (when you can't drink) and designer wedding shoes to think about when your ankles are swollen as hell. And that's before we even get started on the all-important wedding dress.
This data came courtesy of wedding planning destination Hitched – and searches haven't slowed down in 2022. In fact, Google Trends found the search term "maternity wedding dresses" again spiked by 177% at the beginning of this year. It comes as no surprise.

So, yep – many brides will be pregnant on their wedding day.
