Wedding superstitions

It would be impossible to leave such a huge event in every person’s life as wedding without any superstitions. In fact, there are so many of them connected with every part of it: ceremony, preparation, a bride, a groom, parents and their characters, their behavior and even the weather on the wedding day! Let’s find out what some of the superstitions are and how they originated.

The origin of the superstition

There aren’t many things that could spoil the wedding day as much as the rain. The superstition connected with it roots back to ancient times. If nowadays most of young couples prefer having weddings in summer or spring, the people that originated the superstition thought it would be better to celebrate their wedding after they collected the crops. That way they would have more food and time for preparation (make a dress, buy special canvas to cover the benches and the table for their guests) and celebration itself. That’s why weddings were most commonly held in autumn. People in general used to love rain because as you might know good rain means good crops. And if it rained during the wedding it predicted a long and prosperous life for newly-weds. There’s another superstition about rain at your wedding. And you might not like it as it doesn’t bring any luck. If the rain turns into storm with thunder and lightning it’s a bad sign. One more superstition says that a groom has to avoid stepping into a puddle on the way to the ceremony. Otherwise, his married life will be, simply put, unpleasant.

Enjoy your special day

No matter what weather it is on your wedding day the best strategy is to have an umbrella and beautiful rain boots! You definitely don’t want to get wet on your special day and start your married life with a cold and a bunch of tissues instead of a wonderful honeymoon somewhere on the Caribbean Coast of Mexico. And all of the other superstitions have a tendency not to some true! That’s why it’s better not to ruin your mood and enjoy you special day to the fullest! Maybe rain at your wedding will be one of the best unexpected details and will bring a lot of beautiful pictures! And there’s always the rainbow after the rain!
