Wedding signs

Since ancient times in Our Country, every holiday was accompanied by a considerable number of popular beliefs. The wedding was one of the biggest events that can happen not only in the life of the young, but also of their parents, friends and neighbors – the whole village walked on it. Hence the huge number of superstitions that affect and determine literally every step of the bride and groom and their guests.

Today, young people themselves have the right to choose whether to believe in wedding signs or not. The main thing is not to follow them thoughtlessly. After all, the key to any strong and happy marriage is mutual love and respect, and certainly not popular beliefs.

What not to do for a wedding

Wedding taboos directly affect not only the bride and groom, but also their guests, relatives and even bystanders. Let’s list the main ones.

• Newlyweds should not allow anyone to try on their wedding rings – this is unfortunate. But touching the rings of the young for those who are not yet married – to good luck and early marriage.
• During the wedding, the bride should not give her bouquet to anyone, otherwise happiness will fly away. You can give it to your mother or fiance to hold it for a while. If you want to throw flowers to unmarried friends, use a stand-in bouquet.
• Guests and strangers should not get up or pass between the young, this is to separation. It is also impossible to cross the road for the bride and groom – this is a sign of difficulties and hardships in family life.
• On the day of the wedding, young people should not give each other photos – to parting.
• It is forbidden for newlyweds to dance at a wedding with anyone other than each other or with their parents.
• After the exchange of rings, neither the bride nor the groom should touch the empty ring box/cushion. It is best to give as a gift to an unmarried friend.
• You can’t drop and lose wedding rings – this will soon break up the marriage.
• You should not give sets of knives, forks and other sharp objects to the wedding, otherwise there will be constant quarrels in the family.

What can you do for a wedding

Signs concern not only prohibitions, on the contrary, some things are highly recommended. Here are the main ones.

• Sincerely rejoice and have fun. A wedding is like the New Year: as you celebrate the birth of a new family, so the young will continue to live and will. Therefore, do not skimp on emotions.
• Break a couple of glasses for happiness. Or plates. Or that it is not a pity from the dishes. The main thing is not to be zealous, especially in a restaurant where a decent fine is likely to be set for each broken cup.
• With a breeze to ride from the place of registration of marriage to the restaurant. It is believed that the more tortuous and longer this path is, the more likely it is that the evil spirits will get lost and will not be able to spoil the family life of the newlyweds. For the same purpose, by the way, in the West, tin cans are tied to a wedding car: to scare away evil spirits.
• Bite loaf. Young people are traditionally greeted with bread and salt, and one of the long-known customs says: whoever bites off the largest piece will be the head of the family.

• Cutting a birthday cake. This must be done by the newlyweds – the first piece is cut off together, then one of them continues to work with a knife, the second – lay out the cake on plates and distribute to the guests.
• Choose smooth wedding rings so that family life flows easily, without a hitch, without a hitch. Rings with patterns and serifs – to difficulties in marriage.

Wedding signs for the bride

Signs that the bride should pay attention to relate to her festive attire and events on the eve and on the day of the wedding.

• There is a sign that the length of the dress is directly related to the length of family life, so many brides choose dresses with a train.

Wedding signs for the groom

For the groom, there are much fewer wedding signs than for the bride – perhaps the point is in the stereotype that men believe less in superstition. Is this so – we do not undertake to say, but we will list the signs just in case.

• Before the celebration, the groom must put a coin under the heel into his right shoe – this is a source of prosperity. The coin should then be kept in the family as a relic.

• To bring a wife into the house in her arms – to a cloudless and happy family life.
• From the moment of meeting on the wedding day, the groom should not leave the bride until the ceremony itself, and should not allow anyone to pass between him and his future wife – then the family will be inseparable all his life.
• When taking the bride from the parental home, one should not look back – otherwise the marriage will soon fall apart.

Wedding signs for parents

The parents of the bride and groom are the second most important people at the wedding after the newlyweds themselves. Of course, mothers and fathers wish only the best for future spouses, and therefore they often pay attention to folk signs so as not to inadvertently spoil their married life for their children.

• Children should be met with bread and salt – this is to prosperity in their future family.
• Only their parents can correct the bride’s dress and the groom’s suit. At the same time, they must monitor the guests and not allow any outsider to do this for them.
• If the bride’s parents immediately after the wedding wash the threshold of their house, the daughter will quickly return to them, so this should not be done.
• If the mothers of the young do not wear one-piece dresses, but separate suits, this is a sign that the couple will soon divorce.
• Parents at the wedding cannot hold back their tears – the newlyweds will live happily ever after.
• The mother-in-law gives the daughter-in-law a family heirloom or a talisman – to good luck and a long life together for the young.
• There is no need to insist that children wear parental rings during marriage. This is to repeat someone else’s fate, and the young couple must build their own life.
• If the dance of the groom with his mother and the bride with his father is planned, after it the parents must again bring the young to each other.
• In order for the newly-married spouses to live in abundance, after the marriage ceremony, parents must shower them with grain.
