Because the person you married was called Saturday?

like it .but it is a problem that i can't find an answer for any body got any idea why is could be ?
Not really, as I don't really understand what you are asking.
If you add 12 to 15,, you get 27. I don't understand your question.
...and the Saturdays in March will have different dates on different years
Are you Irish?
The first Saturday in March can be earliest 1st and latest 7th
The second Saturay in March can be earliest 8th and latest 14th
Depending on the year that means the 1st and 2nd Saturday could be up to 13 days apart in different years.

with then both being saturday it should be 2 weeks which is 14 days, that is what is puzzling me .
But they are 21 years apart.
leap years is gonna affect it
It's like saying today is Sunday 15th April 2012 but next year is Sunday 14th April 2013 which is only one day apart not 7 or 14.
The question asks why there are only 12 days between the the 27th & the 15th - there always are, the day is irrelevant (?)
Question Author
not irish . and can't blame julian . he is my son . lol it will remain a unsolved problem thank you all any way .
This question makes no sense. I do not see what you are having trouble understanding.

There are 12 days between 27 and 15 as 27-15=12.
I used a superfluous 'the', sorry...
I think that you are all flogging a dead horse here. The OP is clearly under the impression that there are only 28 days exactly in each month.
15 + 12 = 27. Always will was there actually a question there? With both being saturdays it should be wo weeks? If saturday is the 15 th the next is22 nd. Is this a joke or something contrived to initiate debate?
The OP is under the impression that Saturdays fall on the same dates each year.
Question Author
Thank you for you answers , it is not a joke , i have googled both dates an they are both Saturdays , but see what you mean about the days altering each years . thanks again , by the way 15th in !937 was a Monday, sorry to have wasted your time !!
