Anyone superstitious!

I know it is a silly question, but would you purposely avoid having your wedding on a Friday the 13th?

Re: Anyone superstitious!

I think everyone else will say something about being married Friday the 13th though! I am getting married October 13th and everyone says...oooo the 13th? I say please who cares! One day our anniversary will fall on Friday the 13th but I am not superstitious! I think there are worse things to worry about!

Actually, I'm getting married on a Friday the 13th - June 2003. Actually, my FH and I think it's kind of funny cause we get some good looks when we tell people what day it is. We got engaged on Halloween, so we figure it kind of goes in a way.

I am getting married on Friday the 13th - December 13, 2002. When we first picked our date, everyone's comments bothered me. But our standard reply has been to throw some cultural information to the naysayers. We tell them that in Italy '13' is considered a lucky number (children are given necklaces with the number 13 for good luck) and since my fiance and I are both Italian, our families consider this lucky.

It never ceases to amaze me how people can pick out the negative it something that is supposed to be positive. You shouldn't have to defend your decision!

My FI and I are very superstitious... We knock on wood and everything! I don't think we could have our wedding on a Friday the 13th. It would definitely bother us. But, I'm sure it would be fine. Good luck!

Re: Anyone superstitious!

I am getting married on Friday the 13th (December 13th too!!) and as mentioned earlier the comments used to bother me, but not anymore. We couldn't afford the Saturday, and did not want to have it too close to Christmas or the week before, because I am a school librarian and we didn't want to wait 2 weeks to take our honeymoon. I mean, who the heck really cares. If you think something is going to happen on a certain day of the year just because of the number associated with it, you better not leave your house at all that day, much less get married! It's just very sillly to me.
