Wedding Signs and Customs to Remember

There are a huge variety of wedding signs. To comply with them or not is a personal matter, but it is worth listening to these beliefs. Perhaps this will help to avoid unpleasant situations in a married life.

Everyone knows that the May wedding does not bode well - the young will be tossed with each other all their lives, but few people know that there is another folk wisdom about the remaining 11 months that determines the days that are favorable and unfavorable for loving people to join. So, the wedding in January promises an early parting with your loved one. February marriage, in contrast, promises a long and happy life. If a girl gets married in March, she dooms herself to life in a foreign land - most likely, she will have to leave after her husband from the city or even from the country. Family life, which began in April, is similar to the weather this month - it’s warm and sunny, then cloudy, and sometimes it rains.

May Marriage Cautions Known to Everyone - it is no coincidence that the number of people who want to sign at this time is minimal. June newlyweds predict a long life together, spent in love and understanding. Those who marry or get married in July live happily ever after, but their memories are still sweet and sour, there are good periods in family life, and not the best ones. If you get married in August, then the spouse will become not only a faithful lover for you, but also the best friend. A wedding in September is considered a good option - in this case, your life together will be quiet and peaceful.

For those who got married in October, it’s worth preparing for the difficulties.Family life will not be easy, but together the spouses will be able to survive under a hail of turmoil. November is the best month for those who dream of great family affluence. But you should not expect much money from a December marriage, but the love between husband and wife will only grow and get stronger every year. Of course, such forecasts can be taken as a joke, but you can also believe that it is no coincidence that the maximum number of weddings falls on the summer months and the first autumn.

We will dwell separately on pre-wedding beliefs, namely on the features of matchmaking. The key role in this action is assigned to the matchmaker, who will lead the entire process. It is important to choose the right candidate correctly - he must be an adult, respected, always family-friendly and preferably with children. As a matchmaker, you should not take a divorced man or widower - this is a very bad sign. As for the matchmaking itself, there are also quite a few customs and traditions, the adherence to which promises good luck in family life. The groom should be the first to enter the bride’s house, followed by a matchmaker, and only then all the other participants in the event.

There is one very interesting sign. It will be a very favorable sign if the oldest of the male guests steals a spoon. In this case, the groom will soon be able to become the master in the house of the future wife. However, a wedding is not a place for theft, so after 3 months you need to put the spoon in the very place where it was taken from.

If those men whom she does not want to see as their husbands constantly marry to a woman, she should conduct a small ceremony to attract the right groom. To do this, you need to quietly wash the boots of the wooing one, then rinse your hands with the same water and then whisper the words: "The imprint of your feet will bring another groom to my home." This phrase must be said three times, and then sweep the broom shoes in the clockwise direction three times.

The choice of wedding attire also has its own beliefs, which are better to follow if you want to have a long and happy life together. A girl for a wedding must certainly put on a dress, not a set of skirts and sweaters, otherwise the couple will soon live apart. The future husband should not see his bride in a wedding dress until the moment of marriage, if this happens - the wedding can fail. If you want your family to become loving and strong, then do not sell your dress outfit, it is best to keep it for the rest of your life. By the way, purchasing a second-hand dress is also not a good omen - many claim that in this case the young will live very poorly. In addition, many argue that the wedding dress keeps the fate of its former owner and she can go to its new owner, which is not always good, especially if the young woman was unhappy in marriage.

So that none of the guests jinx the girl at the wedding, it is worth making two or three stitches on the hem with blue threads. It is desirable to sew a dress in white. If you get married in a red outfit - this portends frequent conflicts. A green dress promises great financial difficulties, but a golden dress, on the contrary, marks a comfortable and luxurious life for spouses.Pay special attention to shoes - they must be closed, otherwise the family will literally be “barefoot” - that is, very poor, almost impoverished. No need to wear jewelry for registration, limit yourself to pearls or jewelry. Keep in mind that the jewelry that comes with the wedding dress should be old, best owned by a previously married woman, who took place as a happy wife and a worthy mother.

An important sign concerns the fitting of the image of the bride and groom. Here, popular beliefs are categorical - donning the entire festive outfit entirely until the time of the wedding, and even more so to show off in this form in front of a large mirror is forbidden - then the wedding can simply fail. Of course, a girl should always be sure that she looks perfect, without trying on it is difficult for her to evaluate her style, but you can go for a little trick - try on your dress with a veil without any small accessory, for example, without a glove.

Our ancestors believed that the girl should not prepare and dress up for the wedding not in her home. At the same time, it is not necessary that a young namesake be present nearby during training. It is optimal for the bride to be helped by a family woman who has been married for at least 7 years. During the wedding ceremony itself, guests should not even try to correct the girl's outfit, this will lead to the fact that subsequently strangers will often interfere in the privacy of the couple. The dress must certainly be elongated - short outfits indicate that the marriage will also be short. To love between the young was as strong as possible, you need to sew a piece of lovage in the dress.

The girl’s dress must have an even number of buttons, otherwise, according to the signs, the spouse will very often change. In no case should a girl herself hem her dress - so she simply sews up her happiness. There are many signs regarding veils. For starters, like a dress, it should not be given to others: neither give, nor rent, nor even try on. This headdress is considered a charm that protects a woman and her unborn child from evil thoughts, spoilage and the evil eye. Subsequently, the veil is often broadcast on the baby's crib or wrapped in it if the baby is squeamish. If there is no veil, then the role of the mascot is played by a pin inserted into the hem of the wedding attire or a small coin in the shoe.

There are also special beliefs about the groom's clothes. So, the young one should not put on a bow tie instead of a tie, this indicates that from the very first days of marriage he will cheat on his wife. The blue suit testifies to the same thing. If a man donned a green suit, those around him would laugh at his family. The best option is black, which predicts a sea of ​​love in life together. White suits look very nice at the wedding. But this choice is unsuccessful - such vestment predicts frequent ailments and a rather short life.

The bride’s bouquet carries not only a decorative function; quite a lot of interesting traditions and customs are associated with it. A man should not give any of his friends a bouquet intended for a girl, even for a couple of seconds. It is believed that in this case, the one who held the flowers will own the woman. The bride should keep the bouquet presented to her all day, not letting it go from her hands, even during the meal he should always be next to her on the table. The only person who can be trusted with flowers for a couple of minutes is a young mother. If you neglect this custom, she will not see a happy life.

Rings is not just a symbol denoting a certain marital status, it is a powerful amulet that protects the family from all the turmoil that may get in their way. It is very important that spouses never give anyone their rings, even just try on. These items should belong only to them two, otherwise the family will be in complete disorder. But the girl can give the box from under them to her best friend, provided that she is not married, and the young ones themselves never need to touch her again. Well, of course, try to exchange the rings as carefully as possible - if the jewelry falls, it portends the troubles and troubles in the relationship.

It is customary that young people have two sets of glasses at the wedding - the first is broken immediately after drinking “for good luck”, the second is stored as a valuable relic for many years, and only husband and wife are allowed to drink from them. This custom has its roots in ancient times - then it was believed that the clink of broken glass drives away all evil. By the way, on the fragments you can even tell the unborn child on the floor - if most of them are large, then the boy will be born first, and if the glasses break into small pieces - this is for the girl.

Of particular importance at the wedding are bottles of champagne, which are called "bulls" - These are two vessels that are connected by a tape. They should be kept the whole wedding so that none of the guests drank from them. The first is opened only at the chintz wedding, and the second - at the appearance of the long-awaited child. The bulls got such an interesting name from the customs of the southern regions of Russia, where the young were traditionally given a cow and a bull for the wedding. Such a gesture symbolized the beginning of joint farming, as well as the wishes of husband and wife fertility and the early appearance of the firstborn.

In previous years, a loaf was necessarily baked for a wedding in the groom's house. As a rule, all his married relatives did this under the guidance of a young mother. Childless, widowed and divorced women were not allowed to this action, it was believed that in this case they could pass on their fate to the young. To avoid the evil eye, after baking and right up to the wedding, this bread was stored under a special towel, they were trusted to share with the godparents of young people, and each guest should taste a piece of the festive loaf. It was believed that he was endowed with magical power, so it depicted various symbolic patterns.

A mandatory treat at the wedding is cake. The spouses certainly cut it together, helping each other, so they seem to make the groundwork for a joint solution to all difficulties. Usually a woman cuts him, and a man supports - this suggests that the husband will always and in everything be a support for his wife. By the way, the one whose hand rises above the cutting process will become the head of the family. If the cake is shared by only one of the spouses, this portends frequent quarrels or even childlessness. The first piece must be presented to the newly made wife, and the second to her partner, after which the treat is distributed in a circle. Guests should definitely eat it, at least bite it a bit. This bodes well for the young family, as well as the personal happiness of each of the guests.

If in the process of moving or cutting the cake it was dropped - this is a divorce, and the initiator will be the one who could not hold the dessert in his hands. Single guests at the wedding must certainly leave a little cake and eat their piece before bedtime, and put the remaining crumbs on the mattress under the pillow - there is an opinion that in this case the girl will be able to see the future spouse in a dream. Sometimes rings, hearts and horseshoes are baked in the dough - in this case, all those whom they fall into will be successful in business and successful in their endeavors within a year. Superstition on and after the wedding day

On the day of the wedding, a man must certainly make his betrothed through the threshold in his hands - it is generally accepted that then she will never want to return from her husband back to her parental home. If you meet a funeral procession on the way to the painting or to the church - it is better to turn onto another road so as not to give a hint of misfortune. On the wedding day, the mother must give her daughter some of her own thing, which the young should always keep as a real relic, otherwise she should not see her well-being. A very good omen will be a wedding on a rainy day.

Young people in no case should not be photographed separately on this day - this is a quick separation. If a young man stumbled along the way to the registry office - therefore, he is not quite sure of his own decision. Under no circumstances should the bridesmaids stand in front of her near the mirror - if this happens, sooner or later this girl will lead her young husband away. The same fully applies to the friends of the groom. If the friends of the spouses begin to wash the dishes, this means that they will necessarily quarrel.

In order for the young family to have almost no offense, the husband and wife must break a plate on the threshold of their home and step over the fragments together. When the bed is spread on the wedding bed for young people, pillows should be placed so that the pillowcases cut into contact with each other, in this case the couple will live happily ever after. If any decoration fell off the bride during the ceremony, then the husband will have to spend all his life to buy new ones for his wife. To make life as happy as possible, the girl should cry a little on her wedding day. It is important that the newly-made spouses do not eat from one spoon - this is to frequent dissatisfaction with each other.

If something happened to you at the wedding that, according to popular beliefs, portends trouble, do not dwell on this. Each sign is just a legend, so try to dig deeper and figure out where this or that tradition came from. For example, the sign that you can’t look in mirrors in a wedding dress before painting. Think about it, because there are a lot of mirrors in each registry office, and it is unlikely that at least one newlywed was able to avoid a short look at him. And after all, most of them are happily married, and you should not be an exception.

As for the sale of a wedding dress, it’s worth turning to the story. In previous years, the outfit was very expensive and became the property of a young family, which was sold at the most difficult moment, when poverty left no other choice. Nowadays, when you can buy any outfit for a different budget, a wedding dress no longer has such value, so buying and reselling it is quite easy. As for the signs associated with the dress, each one always has its own counterargument. So, the effect of negative omens is leveled by pins, colored stitches on the hem, jewelry from some metals and other amulets.
