From not seeing the bride before the wedding to having something old, new, borrowed, and blue, wedding superstitions have long been a part of the big day.
Though some may seem silly, it's no surprise that the happy couple holds onto these traditions for a lasting marriage, even avoiding a specific day, today, Friday the 13th.
With a long history and plenty of superstitions, Friday the 13th is widely known to be unlucky.
The number 13 has been widely known as an 'unlucky' number, with some hotels even avoiding a 13th room.
Superstitions around the number come from many cultures, events, as well as history.
Triskaidekaphobia is the fear of Friday the 13th, and though this stems from many superstitions, the day is heavily avoided, even for your wedding day.
For those planning a wedding in 2025, fear not.
June 13th is the only one we will have this year, so you won't need to worry when today ends.
If you are in the middle of planning your wedding, experts have also revealed the best time to get married in 2025.
Research from jeweller Diamonds Factory has revealed the best dates to book your wedding in 2025.
