    Congratulations and welcome.

    Superstitions are just that - and only have any power over you if you let them. There's no reason you shouldn't get married on a Friday 13th if there is one in 2013, at 13:00 - although being a friday you might find some people can't make it.

    You'll find plenty of 2013 weddings already planned, so as I said, if you want a 2013 wedding, then go for it.

    I think as long as you don't choose Friday the 13th you'll be fine, It's just a number & it doesn't matter as long as your both happy!

    Congratulations !!

    Congratulations ?

    Don't worry about 2013. Seems a bit weird to skip a whole year because of a superstition. Go for it.

    Congratulations.

    My friend is actually hoping to get married on Friday 13th September 2013! I suppose it all depends on how superstitious you are.

    I wouldn't have a problem getting married in 2013, although i don't know if i cope with Friday 13th lol!

    My business would suffer badly with no 2013 weddings?

    Welcome to the forum and congratulations...... do not fear the year....its 2013 AD and not the pure number of 13 AD which seems not to be so worrying as a number....

    BTW...my daughter was born at 13 minutes past the hour.....to me that was not bad luck......

    I would not worry at all.. As long as it is not Friday 13th (as previously mentioned) and you do not have 13 guests on a table... To put your mind even further at rest, do not pick 13:00 as the ceremopny time!

    Seriosuly, though... Do not allow superstition to run your life and your beautiful day! ?

    FWIW September and December that year both have Friday the 13ths......although the prime Friday to miss is a February which doesn't occur as a 13th in 2013....

    I'm quite superstitious and have a wedding to cover on Friday the 13th of May.

    I'll be mentally prepared for the worst though just because we all kind of are on dates like that.

    I think you're ok if it's not a Friday ?

    In some cultures the number 13 is lucky!

    I say go for it!

    Hello and congratulations for your engagement!!

    I'm a 2013 bride! (well, hope to be... nothing booked as yet but that's the plan!)

    It crossed my mind for a brief second when OH and I first discussed dates, but as others have said... a year of your life is a long time to rule out! 2012 was too soon for us and I didn't want to wait till 2014! I genuinely hadn't gave it another thought until now, and i'm still too excited to be put off! woo hoo!

    I've provisionally picked a Saturday in June for my wedding date, so no Friday 13th's involved for me, but it would be interesting to see whether those Friday dates are less popular and therefore possibly a bargain?!

    Good luck with whatever you decide... i'm sure it'll be perfect for you

    I was 13 years old on Friday 13th 1993 and I survived!

    Its only a number - you make your own luck imo!
