Wedding on the 13th?

Becca, on July 3, 2016 at 4:03 PM Posted in Planning 0 42

Originally we planned our wedding for Friday the 12th, but the reception venue we fell in love with does not do Friday events. We thinking about changing the date to the next day, but that would be the 13th. I'm not superstitious, but would it be weird to have a wedding on the 13th?

    Generally Friday the 13th is considered bad luck. I was born in Friday the 13th so it's actually my lucky day. I don't think it's weird if you got married on the 13th. Especially since it wouldn't be a Friday.

    If you are not superstitious, why are you asking? Most people aren't weird and don't care.

    I never would have thought about it being weird, except my mother mentioned 13 being unlucky and now I'm paranoid about people thinking that's really strange.

    I wouldn't think anything of it and if you're not superstitious, then neither should you.

    I think in Chinese culture the 13 is considered unlucky. I knew a Chinese doctor who never worked on the 13th day. But I think you should do whatever is good for you. I'm into numerology so depending on your Life Path, 13 could very well be a good day for you or a bad day.

    I mean, did you die when you were 13? That was like, a whole YEAR of bad luck!!!!!

    You're overthinking. It's fine.

    I love the 13th, wish that was my wedding date, it's my favorite number--but that's generally true for people born on the 13th.

    So the 13th is my birthday and many others share that date, they don't mind having it to celebrate each year so I don't think you would mind either--it will become a special day for you.

    ETA saw your second post. No one will think it's strange and your mom is being silly.

    I was born on the 13th and never thought much into it. You would be married on a Saturday the 13th not a Friday anyways. If you are worried about it why don't you wait a year 5/12/18 which is a Saturday.

    Law of attraction. If you believe it's unlucky, then guess what?

    I have read this lol. They say not to marry on any Saturday, in the month of May, or on the 13th of any month. Also, never on your birthday; best months to marry are June, October and December.. There are MANY superstitions lol. It just depends on if you're superstitious or not!

    If you're not superstitious then why is this even a question?

    What makes the 13th any different from the 12th or 14th? It's just a DAY ON THE CALENDAR.

    My parents anniversary is the 13th. That was originally our date but we moved it to Friday the 15th for guest convenience.
