    Hi all. H2b and me has made the desision to put our wedding back yet another year so we're now thinking of getting married in 2013. At first i didnt want to get married in 2013 as 13 is a horrible number but then last night it came to me to get married on friday the 13th but i really wanted to get married in june so got h2b to look at the calender and see if friday the 13th lands in june but sadly is a saturday. What does everyone think of getting married on friday the 13th?

    I'm not superstitious so it wouldn't bother me, but I would imagine that lots of people will comment on it, so I'd be prepared for that if you go for it! x

    I dont believe in being bad luck, but I bet you would get that day for a really good price.

    My venue that we wanted told us that its the same price no matter what day you have your wedding on so they prob wouldnt give us a discount cos we were gonna go for a thursday or a sunday wedding in 2012 before we realised there is no way we could afford to get married then so hence moving it to 2013

    I might be very wrong...usually am, haha! But i thought that 13 was supposed to be lucky/unlucky (depends how you look at it) as there were 12 disciples and jesus made the 13th :/ anyone else heard that? xx

    Ok this is what ive found about friday the 13th

    One theory states that it is a modern amalgamation of two older superstitions: that thirteen is an unlucky number and that Friday is an unlucky day.

    In numerology, the number twelve is considered the number of completeness, as reflected in the twelve months of the year, twelve signs of the zodiac, twelve hours of the clock, twelve tribes of Israel, twelve Apostles of Jesus, twelve gods of Olympus, etc., whereas the number thirteen was considered irregular, transgressing this completeness. There is also a superstition, thought by some to derive from the Last Supper or a Norse myth, that having thirteen people seated at a table will result in the death of one of the diners.
    Friday has been considered an unlucky day at least since the 14th century's The Canterbury Tales,[3] and many other professions have regarded Friday as an unlucky day to undertake journeys or begin new projects. Black Friday has been associated with stock market crashes and other disasters since the 1800s.[6][7] It has also been suggested that Friday has been considered an unlucky day because, according to Christian scripture and tradition, Jesus was crucified on a Friday.[8]

    Nothing wrong with 2013 or Friday 13th - if you wanna do it, go for it! We're getting married in 2013 and didn't even think about it being 'unlucky 13' lol. x

    our friends got married on friday 13th november 2009 because they first got together on 13th november 1999 (10 years and 1 babyand another on the way later) it meant something to them but in reality its a number! i'm superstitious, but whats unlucky for one is lucky for another xxx

    i dont think i would get married on a friday for people getting the day off work, so wouldnt be able to be married on friday the 13th, but i dont think that superstition would put me off, if i did decide to get married on a friday, i have lived in two houses that were both number 13 and that wasnt too bad, people have birthdays on the 13th and dont seem to have bad luck if being born on friday the 13th :) x

    I would like to see if it would be cheaper to get married on friday the 13th but i dont think it would be. Ive been told by a few companies that if we got married on a thursday or a sunday it wouldnt be any cheaper cos like with the photographer and the videographer they said it would still take the same amount of time to take and edit the photos

    I don't believe in luck good or bad
    bad luck that happens on the 13th is the same as bad luck that happens every other day of the year but we focus on it more because there is a number that we associate with bad luck.

    The number 13's always been pretty lucky for me, actually, but probably wouldn't get married then on account of the OH being extremely weird and wonderful when it comes to things he believes in xD

    I don't see a problem with it at all, but it's a shame pushing your wedding back means you can't do it then. If it's finances that're the problem, have you tried entering more competitions? Apparently, there are loads in bridal mags!
