2013. Is anyone putting off getting hitched this year?? Triskaidekaphobics?

I ❤️ this rationale

My venue are offering discounts for weddings booked for 2013. I'd already booked but have emailed them to see if they'll let me have a couple anyway!

I was contacted by BBC Essex about his. Apparently WE on this forum started this rumour with a thread around 18 months ago....

Ahhh, the power of hitched.....

I would get married this year if the money was available to me and my fiancé, I was born on the 13th 13 is my lucky number so it doesn't bother me lol

I didnt even think about it either and anyway 13 is lucky for us as we have 3 girls and our 1 and only son was born on the 13th! so very lucky for us! and anyway its going to be 2013 for the whole year so are we all meant to stay in bed til 2014??? silly silly silly

I have actively avoided having the number 13 in my wedding date. I'm not very superstitious but I didn't want 13 in anything... I can't explain why. I suppose I must be a bit superstitious!

We are getting married in 2014 because I didn't want to get married in 2013 - because it's an "odd" year and because of the "unluckiness" of 13.

We are getting married in September because our "anniversary" is 15th Sept, and the closest Saturday to 15th Sept is the Saturday 13th Sept but, again, I didn't want 13, so we'e now getting married 20th Sept 2014.

We were discussing in OT about the influence that Hitched threads have on the news!!

Not at all!! In fact our wedding is 31/3/13 (which is a number read the same backwards and forwards!!) at 13.30

Thanks for all the responses, interesting stuff - particularly that Hitched forums may have started the media frenzy 18 months ago

Definitely seems a lot more of you in the 2nd half of the thread who are avoiding this year. Maybe I won't panic too much if my bookings end up being down for this year, but rather prepare myself for an extra-busy 2014 with everyone who's been putting off!
