Signs for marriage: getting married, holidays, at someone else’s wedding

A wedding is an event that every girl looks forward to. However, fate is not favorable to everyone. Some ladies don’t get married for a long time because they can’t find their one and only. Those who dream of getting married are advised to pay attention to folk signs and use special rituals to speed up the wedding. Ladies who have been unable to find a soul mate for a long time should also be aware of actions that harm the marriage and repel the betrothed.

Signs for unmarried girls

If a girl notices that one of the signs has come true and focuses her attention on it, this will increase the chance of getting married soon. At the same time, you cannot deliberately adjust the situation and events so that the omen comes true. In this case, its interpretation will be considered invalid.

Only those events that occurred spontaneously can be considered reliable. Let's look at the most popular wedding signs for unmarried people:

An invitation to become a godmother for the baby of a relative or friend. Such news symbolizes... that the future godmother will find her soul mate and their family will soon have their own child. The marriage will take place after the baptized baby learns to walk.
Catch the bride's bouquet at the wedding. This is one of the most common wedding signs. She works much better than everyone else. Time has proven that the lady who has the treasured item in her hands will get married no later than 3 years after the event. The only condition is that the bouquet must be caught in a fair fight. If the object was taken away from another girl’s hands, then her interpretation will be considered invalid.
Douse yourself with champagne at a wedding. A girl whose dress has been sprayed with an alcoholic drink should not worry about ruining her outfit. This is a sure sign that marriage awaits her soon.

Seeing dead relatives in a dream. The dream also foreshadows the girl's imminent wedding. It is important that dreams are neutral in nature. In prophetic dreams, a lady conducts a conversation with deceased relatives without entering into a quarrel with them.
Finding a bouquet of flowers. Flowers should not be given or given to a lady. She herself must find them in order to soon change her personal life. She should not touch the find with her hands. You just need to remember the moment at which the event occurred and regularly replay it in your head.
Receiving a gift in the form of shoes. The sign is valid if the girl’s relatives and friends did not know about the interpretation of the event and did not give the gift in order to quickly marry her off. If a woman also receives money along with shoes, this means that she will soon marry a successful and rich groom.
Injuring a finger on a holiday. A quick marriage is foreshadowed for those girls who cut their fingers until they bleed when preparing dishes. It is believed that the victim will go down the aisle no later than 12 months after the event. The same applies to the situation with hair falling out. If before a big holiday (especially before the New Year) a girl begins to lose her hair, then she should count on getting married soon
. However, before doing this, you need to make sure that hair loss is not associated with any serious disease.

For unmarried girls, there are many holiday signs not only with hair or a cut finger. It is believed that a lady will marry under the following circumstances:

if a man came to the house first to celebrate;
if a holiday dish is burnt in a frying pan;
if the cat jumped out the window;
if the girl seems to have strange sounds or that someone is calling her name.

What signs of fate lead to an imminent wedding?

Signs for a wedding should be attributed more to signs and omens, rather than to some special rituals for a quick marriage, which the bride should carry out specifically. Of course, grandmothers often recommend that brides perform or not perform certain actions in order to “not remain as girls.” However, the signs represent accidents or things you do that you don't even think about or do on purpose. Perhaps many of them have already happened to you, and you did not pay attention.

Signs for future marriage:

You found a bouquet of flowers, a wedding ring or a 2 ruble coin on the street. You shouldn’t take the first two items with you or even touch them with your hands, but be sure to take the coin and keep it until the wedding.
You have become a godmother. When the baby takes his first steps, the very man with whom you will soon get married will appear in your life. It is only desirable that your first godchild be a boy.
You rode a donkey. Yes, the sign is strange and unlikely, but very effective.
Incomprehensible sounds have begun to be heard in your house or apartment. In this way, the brownie gives you signs of marriage and “notifies” that you will soon leave your father’s house and move to your spouse.
If you met a young man on Thursday, he will soon become your husband.
Your hair suddenly started to fall out. Don't be upset: they will grow back, and you will soon get married.
Lately, your food has started to burn too often when cooking. The next time such an incident happens, you can do a little fortune-telling for your marriage: the more the dish is burnt, the darker your betrothed’s hair will be.

Signs of what to do to get married

A girl does not have to wait for a signal in the form of signs; she can independently speed up her marriage. To do this, she needs to perform a number of actions that attract her betrothed:

Dance at a wedding with the groom. It is advisable that he himself invites the guest to dance or starts a conversation with her. If you can’t dance with the groom, then you need to choose as partners the guys who sit furthest away at the festive table.
When cleaning, sweep away all debris in the direction from the entrance to the window or table. It is better to start cleaning right from the front door.
Observance of Lent and every November 7th.

According to the beliefs of our ancestors, it was believed that a clean housewife would be the first to be married. Therefore, girls from an early age learned to cook and maintain order in the house.

Do some handicrafts. This is another way to attract a groom with serious intentions. It is recommended to leave long threads on the product while sewing. This symbolizes that the betrothed will come from another city or even country.
Helping a friend choose a wedding dress. The most favorable situation is if the girl undertakes to sew it.
Remove the pin or hairpin from the bride's dress from her head.
Sit at the festive table between two sisters or brothers. This placement method will bring your marriage date closer.

Another good sign for getting married soon is to plant peonies at home. If a girl is not strong in plant growing, then she can replace natural flowers with artificial ones. They will bring the same happiness as living ones. An unmarried woman can also buy souvenirs or cards with peonies for home. It is advisable for a girl to pick up all these items every day or keep them near her bed.

A dream in which a girl was given peonies was considered prophetic in terms of marriage. The same interpretation was given to the dream if one dreamed that flowers grew under the window.

Signs on certain days

A sign for a quick wedding is to meet a guy on Thursday. According to popular beliefs, it is with this person that the girl will soon have to go down the aisle.

Besides Thursday, there are several days a year when a woman can find out about her upcoming marriage and bring her desired date closer:

During Epiphany week. The lady should pick branches from the cherry tree and bring them into the house. If after a week the Epiphany branch blooms, this means that the lady will soon get married and give birth to a child.
On the night of Ivan Kupala. Traditionally, girls made wreaths of flowers and threw them into the water. The girl whose wreath would stay on the water longer and not drown was supposed to get married first.

Palm Sunday. Relatives or girlfriends of an unmarried woman had to whip her with branches so that her betrothed would quickly take her out of her parents' house.
On Easter week, on Maundy Thursday, the Young One should go to the bathhouse and dry himself with a clean towel. On Easter, eggs, Easter cakes and other treats are placed on this towel. The prepared delicacies are given to the poor. It is believed that in return God will send the woman a good groom.
On Pokrov. The one who wants to get married as soon as possible needs to wait until the evening. They light candles in front of the icons and ask the Mother of God to meet their betrothed soon.

If a girl has noticed several
popular signs of a quick marriage , but the betrothed still does not appear, then it is necessary to abstract from disturbing thoughts. Sometimes the right person appears at a time when you don’t expect or ask for it.

Signs for Baptism for marriage

The thought of a wedding does not leave many girls even during church holidays. Those who dream of tying the knot as quickly as possible should throw a ring on the floor the night before Epiphany. According to the superstition, if the decoration rolls towards the door, then this year the girl will meet her lover, and they will soon get married. If the ring chose a different direction, then the year will not bring her the desired marriage.

An ordinary apple will tell you whether there will be a wedding soon. According to the superstition, a girl at Epiphany must peel the fruit with her own hands and carefully cut it into two parts. Then you need to carefully count all the seeds. If there are an even number, the girl will soon be proposed to. If not, then you should be patient.

According to another sign, at Epiphany a girl needs to leave the house early in the morning and go along the road. If the first person you meet is a man, then there will be a wedding this year. If you are a woman, an elderly person or a child, then you should not hope for a marriage proposal just yet.

Signs that prevent marriage

Those who cannot get married also need to learn about negative situations that interfere with marriage. Perhaps after eliminating them, your personal life will change for the better.

List of folk signs that a young girl should not do:

Passing an object across a threshold to another. Together with the item, a lady can unknowingly give away her chance for marriage and family happiness.
Work on Sundays. Ancestors noticed that women who work on weekends often remain spinsters.
Invite guests into an untidy home. It is easy to interpret the signs from a logical point of view. No man would want a wife who does not know how to maintain order and cleanliness.
Doing your hair in public. It is believed that a girl who ignores the rule will be lonely for a long time.
Wear on the ring finger of the right hand. Traditionally, a wedding ring is placed on it, so nothing should be on it until marriage.
Don't try on someone else's dress. By these actions the girl incurs celibacy. She will be assigned a secondary role in a relationship with a man: she can only become his mistress or girlfriend.

According to folk superstitions, a girl sitting on a table or windowsill at home will remain unmarried. Those ladies who grow violets and ficus trees at home will also be lonely.

Beliefs about marriage during the New Year and Christmas holidays

New Year's holidays have always been associated with something fabulous and magical. It is not surprising that there are many signs associated with them. Among the most interesting of them are the following:

Thorough cleaning of the house on the eve of the holiday will help attract love. Also, for this purpose, you need to prepare as many delicious dishes as possible.
If a girl pricks her finger on New Year's Day , she will become married in the coming year.
You need to sit down at the New Year's table smartly dressed and in jewelry. This sends a signal to higher powers that the woman is ready for marriage.
If a lady already has a relationship with a man, on New Year's Eve his name should be written on paper. This note should then be burned and the ashes poured into a glass filled with champagne. It is enough to drink this drink so that the chosen one will soon propose.
On the first day of the year, the girl needs to buy milk. If it doesn’t turn sour within two weeks, you can safely expect matchmakers this year. True, the sign only applies when purchasing a homemade dairy product, and not a pasteurized packaged version.

Many ceremonies and rituals are allowed to be performed at Christmas. The most common among them:

On a towel. It needs to be hung outside the window all night so that higher powers give a sign. After waking up, the towel should be removed. If it is wet, it means that soon there will be a meeting with a life partner and a wedding.
With an onion. On Christmas night it needs to be placed in the ground. If after a while a sprout appears, the girl will become a bride this year.
On the ring. On a holiday, you should take the wedding ring in your hands and roll it to the door. If the decoration is heading towards the exit, the girl will very soon receive a marriage proposal.

Ways to remove the crown of celibacy

Signs about celibacy are based on observations of the mistakes of young girls. When making the same mistakes, a girl is crowned with celibacy. This applies to situations when a girl passes things to others over the threshold or, while cleaning, sweeps herself in a circle with a broom. In the first case, she is prevented from getting married by otherworldly forces; in the second, she is prevented from getting married by a protective circle that scares away men.

You won’t be able to remove the crown of celibacy on your own. A woman will need to turn to professional fortune tellers or sorcerers

If a woman has a younger sister who is getting married, then she needs to try to persuade her relative to postpone the wedding day. According to popular belief, if the youngest girl in the family gets married earlier than the eldest, then the latter will experience a crown of celibacy lasting at least 10 years.

Signs for unmarried people work better if the girl sincerely believes in them. This applies to both positive and bad interpretations. If the time to meet your betrothed does not come, then you should not panic or be nervous. It is possible that a late marriage will turn out to be much happier than one entered into at a young age.
