There is a huge amount of a variety of wedding signs. To observe them or not is a personal matter, but it is worth listening to these beliefs. Perhaps this will help avoid unpleasant situations in the marriage.

Select a holiday date

Everyone knows that the May wedding promises nothing good - young people will toil with each other all their lives, but few people know that there is another popular wisdom about the remaining 11 months, which determines favorable and unfavorable days for connecting loving people. So, the wedding in January promises a quick separation from your loved one. The February marriage, by contrast, promises a long and happy life. If a girl gets married in March, she condemns herself to life in a foreign land - most likely, she will have to leave, after her spouse, from the city or even from the country. Family life, which began in April, is like the weather this month - it is warm and sunny, sometimes cloudy, and sometimes there are rains.

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

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

Matchmaking by the groom

Separately, we will focus on pre-wedding beliefs, namely, on the peculiarities of matchmaking. The key role in this action is assigned to the matchmaker, who will, as it were, lead the whole process. Here it is important to choose the right candidate - he must be an adult, respected, always family and preferably with children. You should not take a divorced man or widower as a matchmaker - this is a very bad sign. As for the matchmaking itself, there are also quite a lot of customs and traditions, following which promises good luck in family life. The bridegroom should enter the bride house the first, then the matchmaker, and then all the other participants of the event.

It is not recommended to remove the cap from the head until the parents of the girl invite their guests to sit at the dinner table. If this does not happen - it means that parents make it clear that they refuse to groom.

There is one very interesting sign. It will be a very favorable sign if the oldest male guest steals a spoon. In this case, the groom in the near future will be able to become the owner in the house of the future spouse. However, the wedding is not a place for theft, so after 3 months the spoon must be put on the very place from which it was taken.

If those men whom she does not want to see as their husbands constantly woo the woman, she should hold a small ceremony to attract the right groom. To do this, it is necessary to quietly wash the wooinger's boots, then rinse your hands with the same water and then whisper these words: “You will bring an imprint of your legs into my dwelling of another groom”. This phrase must be said three times, and then sweep the shoes with a broom in the direction of the movement clockwise three times.

In order for the bride's parents with the bridegroom to come to an agreement about the wedding, the girl must always put on some old and new thing, as well as shoes taken from a friend. Folk omens are not advised to woo on Fridays and Saturdays, as well as in fasting, besides, May is considered an unfavorable period for the groom, but April is suitable for matchmaking.

Signs with attributes

Appearance

The choice of a wedding dress also has its beliefs, which are best to follow if you want a life together to be long and happy. The girl for the wedding should certainly dress in 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 break. 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, buying a used dress is also not a good sign - many claim that in this case the young will live very poorly. In addition, many claim that the wedding dress keeps the fate of its former owner and she can go to his new owner, which is not always good, especially if the young was unhappy in marriage.

So that none of the guests would jinx the girl at the wedding, two or three stitches with blue threads should be made on the hem. Dress preferably sew white. If you marry in red attire - it portends frequent conflicts. A green dress promises great financial difficulties, but a golden one, on the contrary, marks a comfortable and luxurious life for spouses. Pay special attention to shoes - it must necessarily be closed, otherwise the family will literally be “barefoot” - that is, very poor, almost impoverished. No need to put on the registration jewelry, confine 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 image of the bride. Here, folk beliefs are categorical - it is forbidden to wear the entire festive attire entirely before the wedding, and even more so to show off in such a way in front of a large mirror - then the wedding can simply be broken. Of course, a girl should always be sure that she looks perfect, it is difficult for her to appreciate her style without trying on, but you can go for a little trick - try on your dress with a veil without any small accessory, say, without a glove.

Our ancestors believed that the girl should not be in her dwelling to prepare and dress up for the wedding. At the same time it is not necessary that the namesake is present during the preparation of the dress next to. Optimally, the bride was helped by a family woman who has been married for at least 7 years. During the marriage ceremony itself, guests should not even try to correct the girl’s outfit, this will lead to the fact that afterwards outsiders will often interfere with the couple’s private life. The dress must certainly be elongated - short outfits indicate that the marriage will also be short. In order for the love between the young to be as strong as possible, you need to sew in a dress a love leaf.

In the dress of the girl must be an even number of buttons, otherwise according to the signs the spouse will change very often.A girl in no case should not hem her dress herself - she will simply sew up her happiness. A lot of signs exist in relation to the veil. For a start, like a dress, it should not be given to others: neither give, nor rent, nor even try on. This headdress is considered a talisman that protects a woman and her unborn child from unkind thoughts, damage and the evil eye. Subsequently, the veil is often broadcast to the child’s bed or is wrapped in it if the baby is capricious. If there is no veil, then the role of a talisman is performed by a pin inserted into the hem of a wedding dress or a small coin in a shoe.

Regarding the clothes of the groom, there are also special beliefs. So, the young should not wear a bow tie instead of a tie, this indicates that he will change his spouse from the very first days of marriage. The blue suit shows the same thing. If a man is wearing a green suit, people around him will laugh at his family. The best option is considered black, which predicts a sea of ​​love in life together. White suits look very beautiful at the wedding. But this choice is unsuccessful - such clothing predicts frequent ailments and a rather short life.

The bride's bouquet

The bridal bouquet carries in itself 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, and will own a woman. The bride should keep the bouquet presented to her all day, without letting him out of her hands, even during the meal he should always be near 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, you can’t see a happy life.

If the flowers fall to the floor, another marriage will soon happen in this house, and the next one who finds the bouquet at the very end of the ceremony will find a spouse.

Wedding rings

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

Glasses and champagne

It is accepted that at the wedding young people have two sets of glasses - the first one is smashed right after the drinking “for luck”, the second is stored as a valuable relic for many years, and only husband and wife are allowed to drink from them. By its roots, such a custom goes back into deep antiquity - then it was believed that the sound of broken glass drives away all evil. By the way, on the splinters, you can even tell fortunes to the floor of the unborn child - if the majority of them are large, then the boy will be born first, and if the glasses are broken into small pieces - this is to 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 ribbon. They should keep the entire wedding so that none of the guests drank from them. The first is opened only for a calico wedding, and the second - by the appearance of a long-awaited child. Such an interesting name bulls received from the customs of the southern regions of Russia, where young people were traditionally presented with 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.

Loaf and cake

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

A mandatory wedding treat is a cake. The couple cut him together without fail, helping each other, so that they, as it were, make the groundwork for the joint solution of all difficulties. Usually, a woman cuts him, and a man supports him - this means that the husband will always and in everything support his wife. By the way, the one whose hand in the process of cutting will rise higher will be the head of the family. If the cake divides only one of the spouses - this portends frequent quarrels or even childlessness. The first piece is necessarily presented to the newly-made spouse, and the second to her partner, after which the treat is distributed in a circle. Guests should definitely eat it, at least a little bite. This promises good luck to 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 to divorce, and the initiator will be the one who could not hold the dessert in their hands. Unmarried guests at the wedding should certainly leave a little cake and eat their piece before bedtime, and put the remaining crumbs on the mattress under the pillow - there is a perception 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 who get them will be lucky in business for a year. Superstitions on and after the wedding day

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

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

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

How to minimize the effect of negative omens

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

As for the sale of a wedding dress - it is worth referring to the history. In previous years, the outfit was very expensive and became the property of a young family, which was sold in the most difficult moment, when poverty left no other choice. Nowadays, when you can buy any outfit on a different budget, a wedding dress no longer has such value, so its purchase and resale are fairly easy. As for the signs associated with the dress, then each always has its own counter-argument. Thus, the effect of negative omens negates pins, colored stitches on the hem, decorations made from certain metals, and other amulets.

It is important to understand that omens are not as important as your own thoughts, words and deeds. They are certainly needed, but only the young themselves will be responsible for their happiness and for the strength of their family ties.
