Wedding Clock Myths

That is crazy lol. I’m not superstitious or anything. I would ignore it.

I have never heard of this. My fiance and I determined our timeline based on reception end time, and worked backwards from there, taking our venue's rules into account (ceremony must be completed by 5pm).

Oh wow I have never heard of that before either. Is the logic that you will have a successful marriage if the hand is moving up?

While researching on how to word my wedding invites, I learned of this ceremony timing. It is so the hands move upwards towards the heavens or beginning marriage with the hand moving up. After reading that, I checked a friend’s invite and he had it scheduled for 4:30pm.

View Quoted Comment That’s what I read when i looked it up. I’ve never heard of it until now. I think we are still going to start at 5. Lol

Just when you think you've heard it all...that's bizarre lol. Ours is scheduled for 2:30 (I think?) but it has nothing to do with which direction the clock is moving. I don't believe in superstitions.

Yes I've never hear of it. I wouldn't change it if you don't want to.

View Quoted Comment It does seem a little cray to me too 😂 i think we’re going to keep it at 5.

I’ve heard of this before, but didn’t take it into consideration when building our timeline.

I never heard of such a thing before

I've heard of this, but our ceremony is starting at 5 and I'm not worried about it.

I’ve heard of this but we started our ceremony at 4. I’m not superstitious.

I have never heard of this before. We got married at 5:30, so maybe that is why no one mentioned it to us? But I would get married whenever you want to and ignore the superstition.

My FMIL told us this!!! We did move our time from 3pm to 3:30pm, but it was MONTHS ago--before invites were even drafted up. I say, it's your call! There's plenty of superstitions that people don't acknowledge anymore--like the groom seeing the bride before the wedding, only wearing a white dress if you're a virgin, etc.

It's an old wives tale. I heard of it when I was a kid but I've never met anyone who took it seriously. If you're not superstitious you don't need to follow it.

I mean...You probably already mailed the invitations which means guests would have to wait an additional 30 minutes for the ceremony to begin. I think that is quite an inconvenience.

Never heard of that. Our wedding started at 5 and we were fine.

Never heard of that either. I'm not superstitious........, but I'm a little stitious

View Quoted Comment Oh wow that's cool lol...I actually like that!

Never heard of it, wouldn't change my time due to this though.
