What time are you getting married?

I heard an old wives tale you should get married at the bottom of the hour (like 4:30, 5:30, etc.) so that the minute hand is going up while you exchange your vows opposed to down? Is anyone else following this superstition? We were thinking of a 4-10 wedding and reception but might change it to 4:30-10:30...

We followed this tradition!! We got married at 4:30. We live in Illinois, but my mom's family is from southern Indiana and that's how they always did it.

ETA: I'm not superstituous (I own 2 black cats), we did it more to pay homage to my mom's family.

I've never heard that before I joined this site. Ours will be at 6 p.m. - it's a Friday night, so we didn't want it to be too early (and some people in my family already think that 6 p.m. is too late at night).

6pm was the earliest we could get married and I didn't want to delay our reception!
