Friday 13th

It wouldn't bother me and OH is always saying that 13 used to be a lucky number years ago and still is in some Countries.

This year ends in 13 for all us brides getting married in 2013 and when we were looking at venues one of the wedding co-ordinators said that they were quiet this year but were manic in 2012, 2014 and 2015 as a lot of brides didn't want to book for 2013 - all a bit daft if you ask me.

Unlucky things can happen on any day of any date and the same goes with good things. I know people that were born on Friday 13th and people who got married on Friday 13th dates.

If you have found a venue that you love and that is the date that they have available then go for it!

Also - just a thought but it may mean that it's more likely that the best photographers, florists, wedding cars will all be avilable for you on this date too ?

I LOVE that idea, hadn't thought about the likelihood of supplier availability either - knew it was a great idea to ask here!! Will put it too H2B tonight and the idea for table names. As for royal mail vans - what's the superstition here? 7 years bad luck as with mirrors?

Funnily I also heard that 2013 was quiet for that reason too - wouldn't of bothered me one bit, its just the Friday 13 thing.

What are you waiting for BOOK IT as Friday the 13th is lucky for you as the saying goes "unlucky for some" My Birthday is on a 13th

Doesn't bother me at all

I got a tattoo of a '13' on Friday the 13th and was the 13th customer and nothing bad happened (or ever has on that date, there are usually at least 2 Friday 13th's per year and most people dont even notice) also by coincidence got my second tattoo on Friday the 13th as well

always wonder what people expect to happen, its only a date after all

It wouldn't bother me in the slightest, I don't think i'm superstitious at all really.

Having said that, if something did go wrong, it wouldn't take long for me to get bored of the inevitable "ooo it's because it's Friday 13th" comments that everyone would make- that's enough in itself to put me off ?

BiL got married on Fri 13th last year, with no major disasters. And my grandparents-in-law married on Fri 13th and have just had their 69th anniversary!

Do it! If anything it will be easy to remember your anniversary. The only superstitions I'd go along with are those that are a bit of fun e.g. the old, new, borrowed and blue. The table names idea is great.

I'm not superticious at all but I couldn't do it! I'm slightly OCD about numbers and hate uneven numbers I can't explain it but it's just make me feel off balance and freaked out! I don't know why! Lol

Wouldn't bother me. I once flew on Friday the 13th and the flight was nearly empty. Nothing bad happened...unless you count the baby that cried non stop for 12 hours.

My auntie who is superstitious most things, umbrellas being opened inside, walking under ladders and not travelling in green cars etc, got married on a Friday 13th to my uncle and that was 26 years ago and they are still married now!

At least it'll be a memorable date for people! :-)

I'm not superstitious but if no one wants that date I could see a discount coming!

My main reason for posting was seeing this thread on 13 replies just seemed to double curse it!

It wouldn't bother me at all!

Booook it!

I'm not superstitious at all so this certainly wouldn't bother me in the slightest. I would have the venue you want.

After all the hoo haa of wondering about superstitions etc. it turns out that I have a cousin getting married in Ibiza the following week so most of my dads side of the family wont be in the country. Needless to say I wont be booking it for then, looking at other dates available now though

Thanks for all your input though

Wouldn't bother me at all in fact I'd see it as lucky that youve still got a date free next June!

I'm not superstitious at all, and yes i'd get married on this date

If your not superstitious then go for it!

My sister got married on Friday 13th! I actually go on my hen do on Friday 13th June 2014 and my OH proposed on Friday 13th! Oh and I passed my driving test on Friday 13th!

Suppose its a lucky day for my and my family!

I'm not remotely superstitious so it wouldn't bother me in the slightest. I think that when people think they're going to have bad luck, they tend to bring it on themselves!

I was superstitious till I passed my driving test on a Friday 13th! Go for it! x

My Hubby use to refuse to leave the car radio/tv or any other volume on 13 .. until our son was born on 13th. Wasn't Friday mind you but 13 non the less. It doesn't bother me so much .. if you want it go for it xx
