Is not getting married on the hour that important?

If I'm going to be honest, I have never heard about this in my life lol.

Unless you are generally superstitious, don't worry about it. However, I do think that half an hour is plenty of lead time *IF* you arrive completely ready to go and you have a day of coordinator or venue staff willing to make sure everything is ready to go.

I’ve never heard that before!

I wouldn’t worry about that...I’m getting married at 3:00 so we can do photos before sunset in late fall

I’ve never heard that before, and we are getting married on the hour at 1!

... I’ve never once heard of this in my life. No it doesn’t matter.

I've never heard of that! We're getting married on the hour at 7. If it helps, my ex and I got married on the half hour and look how that turned out. Lol.

I've never heard of that either. We got married at 6. Oops. 😀

You're fine to get married at 2!

I’ve heard of this. It’s considered bad luck because the minute hand on the clock would be going down when you exchange vows. Superstition says you’re supposed to exchange vows when the minute hand is moving upwards, hence starting ceremonies at half past. I actually adhered to this (not that it really matters) and scheduled my ceremony for 5:30.

Never heard of that..... Don't buy into superstition. Do whatever time works out best for your day.

Never heard of that. Most weddings I’ve been to start in the hour (probably easier for guests to remember too).

I’ve never heard of this. My ceremony was slated to start at 3 but I asked my coordinator if we could move it to 3:30 and she actually advised against it because she said in her experience more guests tend to arrive late when the ceremony starts on the half hour versus the hour. Weird I know, but she said it’s a trend she’s definitely noticed. I guess because it’s easier for people to estimate travel time on the hour. So we kept it at 3. And neither of us got struck by lightening or anything...so I guess all good.

People put meaning into things that are not necessarily important. Why not get married 45 minutes after the hour? See not really important/significant. Truthfully, guests are more like to remember 2 o'clock in the afternoon versus 2:30. It's also easier to account travel time when a ceremony starts at the hour, in my opinion.

Ive heard it....something about doing it at the 30 because the clock is in the upswing and brings good luck to the marriage.

Silly old wives tales!

I never heard of this. My church just happened to book at 2:30. Do whatever if going to allow you to enjoy yourself the most 😁

I also Never heard of this... but our ceremony started at 3:30 but we said “I Do” at 4:01. Sooooo what does that mean lol?

I've never heard about this. We walked down the aisle at 4pm but I guess if you really think about it, we weren't pronounced married until the end of the ceremony, probably like 4:15pm! So if you believe in superstitions... if your ceremony starts at 2, you won't technically be "married" until like 2:30ish....? #loopholes

Unless you personally believe it, don't worry about it. There's a billion superstitions in the world and it seems like half of them are wedding related. There's no way we can abide by all of them, haha.

Never heard of that superstition, but as PP said, there are a lot of wedding superstitions that aren’t really followed for the purpose it was intended for.

However, if you haven’t already, check to see that the 4 hours you have with your venue does not include setting or cleaning up~

I've really never heard of that and I don't buy into superstition. Do whatever works best for your timeline!
