Friday 13th Wedding

Regardless of our individual beliefs there is still ‘something’ about Friday 13^th.  Even in this modern age, superstition surrounds anything to do with that date and a Friday 13th Wedding is not often welcomed.

There are many people who think it is unlucky, for all sorts of reasons.  According to this BBC article, Friday is thought to be unlucky because it was the date of the Crucifixion.  The “unlucky 13” came about because it includes the number of people present at the Last Supper or the number of witches to make a coven. But it was actually the Victorians who put the day Friday and the number 13 together.

So, is it unlucky?  We don’t think so – and especially not if you’re planning a wedding.   One of our lovely couples, who booked a Friday 13^th Wedding at relatively short notice in 2016, found they had so much choice.

Venues and suppliers were more available and our couple had their wedding in the venue they wanted, with the suppliers they wanted, on the date they wanted!

Sending out their invitations brought an initial “Oh wow!” from their families and friends.  But they all thought it was a great idea and the whole day was wonderful.

However, these dates are few and far between.  Bookings at White Rose Ceremonies currently go into 2020 but none as yet fall on Friday 13^th.

Here are Friday 13th Wedding dates for the next three years:

Friday 13^th April 2018

Friday 13^th July 2018

Then a huge gap of 15 months until…

Friday 13^th September 2019

Friday 13^th December 2019

And then…

Friday 13^th March 2020

Friday 13^th November 2020

So if you want a wedding that will be remembered for everything – including the date – a Friday 13^th Wedding just might be right for you.

Good Luck.
