Why is it bad luck for a chinese couple to get a clock as a wedding gift? |
[Edit] 
The Mandarin pronunciation of the word "clock" shares the same phonetic sound of the word end, which might imply the end of friendships or death.
Side note: It's not just as a wedding gift. It's never good (for reasons stated above) to give a clock to someone as a gift be it a thank you gift, birthday gift, or any gift.
