name the day
Pick the date
To name the day is to set a specific date for something, especially a wedding.
When couples get engaged, the question Have you named the day yet? asks whether they've chosen when to marry.
The phrase emphasizes commitment to a definite time rather than leaving plans vague: After months of planning, they finally named the day.
