Here is one way...
In A1 enter a valid Wednesday date
In A2 enter =A1+3
In A3 enter =A1+7
In A4 enter =A2+7

Select A3 and A4. Move the cursor over the lower right corner of A4. It
should change to a plus sign (+). This is the autofill cursor. Holding the
left mouse button down, drag down as far as desired to fill column A with
alternating Wednesdays & Saturdays. Finally, copy & paste in place as values.

Hope this helps,

Hutch
