Weddings are full of superstition – from something borrowed something blue, to happy marriage forecasts based on what the weather does. The Chinese believe that one lucky wedding date can bring happiness, harmony and wealth for the rest of the life and that an inauspicious wedding date can lead to unhappy marriage. So whilst Friday 13th 2013 may be a step too far with hotels and wedding venues offering great late deals, is 2013 still the year to get married? Hollywood’s super celeb couple Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux are planning their nuptials for a lucky 2013 though it is unlikely that their motivation is to benefit from some of the financial incentives being offered by wedding suppliers!
Andrea Cawley, Sales and Marketing Manager at CityNorth Hotel feels that triskaidekaphobics, people who have the fear of the number 13, should actually feel extra lucky this year. “With our Whirlwind Wedding, Why Wait? package 13 of your guests are free of charge, offering a huge saving on your day. We want love, romance and happiness to thrive in 2013” added Andrea. So for those brides and grooms who are not superstitious 13 could indeed prove to be a lucky number in terms of financial savings. Couples should negotiate hard to get a good deal as venues still have some availability for the latter end of the year. We increasingly find that couples are so busy with family and work pressures that they have less time to organise their wedding day, says Marianne Fanning, Wedding Co-Ordinator at CityNorth Hotel. “We can give couples the reassurance that even with just a few months of planning they can still have a perfect day.”
So, if you are feeling lucky in love – why wait? Take a look at the results of our wedding poll ‘ Would you get married in 2013?’.
