Signs of whether it is possible to celebrate a wedding. Wedding signs

A wedding is perhaps one of the most important events in a person’s life. This is an important step that radically changes life, connecting two loving hearts into a single whole - a family.

Very exciting for both the newlyweds and their loved ones, relatives and invitees. Every detail, every minute of celebration is thought through, aimed at arranging the happiness of the young. In a word, wedding! Signs and customs on this solemn day become especially relevant. Their goal is to protect those getting married from failures in marital happiness and to preserve love for many years to come. Of course, not everyone believes in wedding omens (what can and cannot be done on this significant day); many are skeptical about them and consider them prejudices, but their knowledge has never harmed anyone.

Signs before the wedding

Wedding signs for the bride say that a wedding on a new moon means a happy new life, on a waxing moon - on a rapid increase in money capital, on a full moon - life will be like a full cup. If you get married during the waning moon, then all troubles and sorrows will go away.

If on the wedding day in the morning the newlyweds or relatives are attacked by a sneeze, this is fortunate.

The groom stumbled over the threshold of his chosen one's house - there will be another wedding.

It will work out if the bride, on the night before the wedding, puts on her nightgown inside out and puts a mirror under her pillow.

Wedding omens for the bride say: if the newlywed loses a glove or breaks a mirror before the wedding, this is a bad omen.

On the eve of the wedding, the bride should not see the groom under any circumstances, and even more so, the future husband should not see her in a wedding dress, otherwise the marriage will be unhappy.

Until the moment of the wedding (painting), the bride should not see herself in the mirror in full attire.

You cannot give each other photographs with your own image the day before.

Signs about clothing and jewelry

Signs for the bride on her wedding day say that the happy chosen one must wear shoes with closed toes and heels when getting married. Then happiness will not leak out of the house. And if you also put a copper coin in the right shoe, then the life of the young people will be successful and rich. Getting married in sandals means living barefoot.

If a woman who has been successfully married for 7 years helps the bride put on her wedding attire, then the newlywed will be healthy and successful.

The bride should not allow her friend to stand in front of her in front of the mirror, otherwise the latter will beat off the groom. The same applies to the groom and his friends.

In order to protect against the evil eye, newlyweds need to fasten it on their clothes with the head downwards for the groom - in the area where the boutonniere is attached, for the bride - on the inside of the hem of the dress. It is also recommended for the lucky chosen one to make a number of stitches with blue thread on the inside hem of the dress: as wedding signs say for newlyweds, this will protect the newlywed from the evil eye.

Old shoes on the bride mean good luck in the new family. Therefore, a day or two before the celebration, it is recommended to wear shoes that will be worn at the wedding.

Pearls worn by a bride to a wedding bring tears to her eyes.

You should not wear jewelry to a special event - only costume jewelry - this is exactly what folk signs for a wedding say.

What can and cannot be done for parents? The mothers of both young people should wear one-piece dresses (not suits) so that the family life of their children is free of discord.

Wedding Dress

A wedding and wedding signs are one whole, because the solemn event is so significant that you should pay attention to every detail. This also applies to the bride’s wedding dress:

The bride's bouquet

Wedding signs (what young people can and cannot do) clearly state that under no circumstances should the groom give his beloved’s bouquet to anyone until he himself gives it to him.

She must protect hers throughout the festive evening; if he is released, happiness will fly away. At the wedding feast, you can put it on the table in front of you, and if there is a great need, then give it to the groom or your mother to hold.

A wedding bouquet fell on the floor - there will be another wedding in this house.

The one of the bride's friends who catches the wedding bouquet will be the next to get married.

Wedding ring

Oh, these signs for a wedding! What can and cannot be done for newlyweds with wedding rings? This question worries young people very much.

Purchasing wedding rings is the responsibility of the groom.

Rings must be smooth, without stones or notches, so that life is smooth, without pitfalls.

The bride's ring should be wider than the groom's ring.

Before leaving for the registry office

On the way to the registry office and at the registry office

You cannot cross the path of the bride and groom, so as not to deprive them of luck in life. If such a danger occurs, then the witness and witness should walk a little ahead.
You need to go to the registry office in different cars so that you still have time to think about such important changes in your life.
The more confusing the route that the bride and groom take, the happier their family life will be. In the old days, wedding trains chose the most confusing routes to the church in order to mislead the evil spirits.
If a cat crosses the road, you need to take a different route.
No one should pass between the bride and groom for family life to be happy and calm.
After leaving the registry office, the newlyweds leave holding hands. Whoever has the hand on top will be the head of the house.
If you touch the rings of the bride and groom, it means that you will soon be walking at your wedding. If after the registry office someone crosses the path of the bride and groom, it means that family life will not work out. This is what time-tested wedding signs say.

What is possible and what is not allowed on your wedding day?

If the bride's heel breaks, this means a “limping” family life.

If a dress is torn at a wedding, then there will be an evil mother-in-law.

Wedding

Wedding candles need to be blown out at the same time, this will be the key to a long and happy life.

Witnesses

If the witnesses are divorced, then the marriage of the young couple will be in danger of disintegration.
If the witnesses are married, it is unlucky.
If the witnesses are a married couple, then their marriage will break up.

Feast

Before entering the hall, the newlyweds treat each other with salty bread. This should be the last time they hurt each other.
After the registry office, the most revered relative leads the newlyweds around the festive table three times, this symbolizes the inextricable bond of the married couple.
You should definitely break the first glass of champagne - for good luck! If dishes break at a wedding, it is fortunate.
At the wedding table, the newlyweds are required to sit not on chairs, but on the same bench, so that family life can be friendly.

If there are many children at the wedding, this means a fun and noisy family life.
A special decoration of the table is the wedding cake. The bride needs to cut it, and the groom supports the knife. The young people are treated to the first piece of cake - for good luck.

Bitterly!

As you know, not a single wedding in Rus' is complete without “Gorko!” This custom is quite old and arose as follows: the young woman used to go around to all the guests with a tray on which they put money. There was a glass on the tray, the guest drank it and said: “Bitter!” - as a sign that what was drunk was vodka, not water. Next, the invitee kissed the bride, thus sweetening the bitterness received from alcohol. Gradually, this method was replaced by the requirement of a kiss from those getting married.

Present

Wedding gifts are considered an important aspect of the special day. Signs regarding this part of the important day read:

You cannot give sharp objects: knives, forks, which carry aggressive energy that can fill a new family. If such a gift was nevertheless presented, the donor should be given a handful of coins so that there will be no troubles in life.
You cannot give a watch, because it will count down the minutes and seconds of your life together, and it will last as long as the gift will work.
Spouses are advised to choose their own bed linen, because intimate life is a private matter, not a public one.
You cannot present towels and handkerchiefs, so as not to condemn the newlyweds to tears and sadness.
Icons can only be given by the closest people: parents, grandmothers, godparents, because it is with such a valuable gift that the energy of the family is partially transferred into the hands of the young. If one of the invitees decided to make such a present, then the icon must first be consecrated in the church.
You also cannot give antiques that retain the energy of their previous owners. After all, they will influence the young family in their own way, and such influence may not always be good.
You cannot give a mirror. This is a magical object, and what is reflected in it is an astral projection of everything that a person sees in reality. As a wedding gift, the mirror will become a door to a parallel world (illusionary), which will provoke the newlyweds to lead a double lifestyle.
You cannot present pearl jewelry to the bride, otherwise the latter will often cry and grieve in her family life.
Also, guests should not give rings or cufflinks with amber, the energy of which can cause failure in their career. It is recommended to re-gift such gifts immediately.
For a smooth path in life, the bride should be given a white tablecloth as a gift.
You cannot give red roses. It is better to prefer them from daisies, cornflowers, lungwort and others, symbolizing love and tenderness.

Therefore, trust your own heart and make sure that next to you is the person with whom you will live happily ever after for the rest of your life. It’s not for nothing that the word superstition comes from vain faith.

There are many signs and superstitions associated with the date of marriage. So, based on the month, time of year, date or day of the week, one can guess how the family life of the newlyweds will turn out.

Probably, each of these signs has its own, well-founded roots, it’s just that much has long been forgotten or has lost its relevance. But, for example, it is quite possible to understand why, according to popular belief, it is not recommended to have a wedding during church fasts - what kind of family life is there in wealth and prosperity if the wedding meal is very modest - without any meat delicacies.

Everything about major religious holidays is also clear: it was not right for ordinary people to put themselves above the Church. Well, as for other superstitions, each of them has its own history, hidden somewhere in the mists of time.

To believe or not to believe in omens? Here everyone decides for themselves. But if people sincerely love each other, then no superstitions can destroy their happiness. And folk wisdom says: “If you don’t know about the omen, then it won’t come true.”

But in any case, when setting a wedding date, you need to be guided by common sense, convenience, and take into account the traditions that have developed in the families of the bride and groom and various family circumstances. Think for yourself: the more satisfied guests there are at your wedding, the more positivity, joy, fun and good wishes addressed to the newlyweds, and the less chance that someone will overshadow your celebration with their irritation and petty grievances. So let the atmosphere of your holiday be filled with warmth, joy and happiness!
