Probably, not so many beliefs, signs and traditions are connected with any event in the world as with a wedding. On this day - as our ancestors believed - every step and gesture of the bride and groom, every word and any action should be coordinated with popular superstitions. And even in the modern world, every young couple preparing to marry, to one degree or another, continues to adhere to the beliefs of those who have lived before. Common sense is simply absent at this time, because young people on the day of the wedding celebration are so happy that they begin to fear that someone would jinx this happiness . Therefore, many guys and girls think in advance about how to choose a wedding day.
Wedding celebrations in accordance with nature
There will be many beliefs guaranteeing a long and happy life together for future spouses, a lot, but almost all of them are related to what will be the wedding day. A good sign is light rain breaking through the sun, and a bad sign is cloudy weather and heavy rain. If the sunrise on a holiday will be with bright red tints - the life of young spouses will take place in grievances and quarrels.
A lot of attention was paid to the month in which the wedding was held. In May, a husband and a wife will “toil” all their lives. In general, the spring of our ancestors was considered not the most suitable time for weddings, unlike autumn. In the autumn months , harvesting ended in antiquity, so wedding festivities could be long and rich. October wedding day guaranteed a happy and prosperous family life for young people. Many ceremonies were held in the winter, at the most favorable time for any undertakings. January or February wedding foreshadowed the bride and groom wealth and a strong life together. You can get married in the summer, although this time is not associated with any beliefs or superstitions. In June and July, those who get married, by all means, want to live next to their loved one, not paying attention to conventions, get married.
What can not be done on the wedding day
In order for a family life to be long and happy, in no case should:
- wear too short (above the knees) wedding dress. As it was believed in former times, the longer the bride’s outfit, the longer peace and harmony will be in her house;
- Allow anyone to try on a wedding outfit, both before the celebration and after it;
- sell the dress of the bride. As soon as it leaves the house, the marriage will fall apart;
- the future young wife to look at herself in the mirror in a full wedding dress - so as not to make small troubles for herself and her husband.
Magical wedding days
It is with the numbers and days of the week that the largest number of traditions is associated and will take - you always need to choose your wedding day very carefully, even if you do not believe in the stories of your mothers and grandmothers. It is believed that the 13th day in any month will not bring happiness, but, on the contrary, every 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th day are favorable days for the wedding. You can not marry during periods of lunar and solar eclipses, as they are the harbingers of quarrels and discord in the future family. The leap year is not suitable for marriage , as the most difficult and unsuccessful.
It is especially important to think about what day of the week the celebration will take place. Each such day is “ruled” by a planet that subsequently has an impact on the whole joint married life. The wedding on Tuesday - the day of Mars - is dangerous with the possibility of constant aggression, on Jupiter's day Thursday - jealousy and the risk of betrayal. The most favorable is the day of Venus - Friday, when the bride and groom fall under the influence of the patron goddess of lovers. Venus guarantees that the family life of couples married on Friday will be bright, long and prosperous.
When choosing a wedding day, it should be remembered that not only the signs and folk beliefs that guided our ancestors were guided, but sincere love, able to overcome any obstacles and connect two loving hearts.
