English term or phrase: To name the date
I would like to know if the phrase To name the day" is an idiom, and what does it mean?

Spanish translation:Fijar la fecha de la boda
Explanation:
It seems it is an idiom.
You can google ["name the day" (or "name the date") + wedding] and you will get many results. My LONGMAN Dictionary of Contemporary English also says so.
