Wedding Times

Over the years, I've heard so many brides, mothers, and grooms talk about wedding times, I get confused about the traditions.

Some say you should always begin a wedding at the top of the hour, so that life will be easier, as the hand is scrolling down on the clock.

Others say you should get married at half past the hour, so that the hands are moving up, signifying that life will be on the upswing as the years go by.

So my question: Who's correct?
