A wedding is an event that is eagerly awaited and hopes for a wonderful future with your loved one. But sometimes impeccable organization and the skill of skilled presenters are completely insufficient, and for some reason life together does not start out as rosy as we would like. Why is this happening? Folk wisdom has long given the answer: traditions and customs that have been observed for centuries are aimed precisely at ensuring a cloudless future for newlyweds. Signs for a wedding regulate the behavior and restrictions for the newlyweds and guests so that the celebration goes flawlessly, and their future life is not overshadowed by the consequences of thoughtless actions.
Which month is better to have a wedding?
Even the time of year and month in which the wedding takes place matters:
- January predicts a quick farewell to the chosen one;
- the second month is favorable for beautiful ladies and promises a happy marriage;
- March is not encouraging. A wedding this month threatens quick separation, departure to a foreign land or living away from other relatives;
- marriage in April promises a relatively prosperous life, with short periods of storms and bad weather;
- a May wedding rarely leads to a problem-free family life. Only after kissing the groom three times does the bride get a chance to fix her future;
- June blesses the newlyweds for a long, happy family life;
- If you get married in July, you should prepare for equal shares of good and bad;
- getting married in August for a girl means getting not just a spouse, but a true friend, ally, like-minded person;
- a wedding in the first month of autumn predicts a quiet, prosperous life without any special shocks and problems;
- marriage in the second month of autumn promises significant difficulties and constant problems;
- November wedding for those who want a well-fed, wealthy life, financial well-being;
- The first month of winter is most favorable for those people who want to live in love with their soulmate. Moreover, mutual feelings will grow stronger year by year.
By listening to folk wisdom, you can set the wedding date for exactly the month that seems most favorable for the newlyweds.
Signs before the wedding
The experience of generations is relevant not only during wedding celebrations, but also before them:
- You can’t work hard and hard. It’s better to ask for time off from work in advance, even take a vacation at your own expense. After all, a wedding is a lot of problems and troubles; you shouldn’t meet the most important day in your life, falling off your feet from fatigue;
- If one of the spouses wears glasses and wants to replace them with lenses, but does not have experience, they should be purchased and tested in advance. Not everyone has lens installation without consequences - possible irritation, swelling, physical discomfort;
- Don't try to squeeze yourself into a dress or suit by starving yourself. Nothing good will come from restricting yourself in food - a spoiled mood, dark circles under the eyes and gray skin are guaranteed;
- You cannot agree to radical experiments with hairstyle, tanning, and makeup. It is unknown what will come of this;
- at least a week before the significant date, use only proven cosmetics, eat familiar foods to eliminate the possibility of allergies and stomach disorders;
- if a professional makeup artist will work with hair and makeup, you need to schedule a trial session to know exactly what will happen as a result of his efforts;
- Many newlyweds have bachelor and bachelorette parties before the wedding. Don’t get too carried away in the process, so as not to spend your wedding day with a headache or sad anticipation of the end of the ceremony;
- Not only the bride should look perfect at the wedding. The groom should also take care of his appearance - do his hair, tidy up his facial skin, hands and nails;
- It is better for those involved in preparing and holding the event to arrive in advance. Wedding celebrations very rarely take place without problems, and in this case the presence of a competent team helps to quickly resolve the problems that have arisen;
- Despite the inevitable excitement, newlyweds need a hearty breakfast on their big day. You need to choose high-calorie, but not heavy meals that will maintain energy and strength during a difficult, long day;
- All items and things that you plan to take with you to the wedding and subsequent feast must be collected in advance. The help of experienced parents or relatives will not be superfluous, because in the turmoil it is not surprising to forget something.
These simple tips will help you celebrate your wedding with maximum pleasure and avoid minor inconveniences and major troubles.
Signs before the wedding
Pre-wedding signs tell you how you should and shouldn’t behave the day before.
- The groom is not allowed to see the bride's dress before the wedding. It is believed that violation of this tradition leads to difficulties and misunderstandings in family life, and even an early divorce. Perhaps all grandmothers and mothers know and try to observe this sign. But young people often call this ban a relic of the past. However, psychologists give a simple and understandable explanation, proving that our ancestors knew how to strengthen the mutual feelings of young people. It's no secret that men are naturally capable of living with many women. They strive to perpetuate their genetic code in numerous offspring, and every woman who fits a certain ideal is perceived as a potential mother of a child. And the restriction of freedom that follows the stamp in the passport causes subconscious rejection. And in order to overcome animal instincts, a man must understand: here she is, the most attractive and ideal, with whom he wants to live his whole life and have children together. This is exactly the effect that is created in a man who first sees a beautiful, magical stranger in a magnificent dress and a veil crown at the altar. He is inspired and struck to the heart. And, of course, if the future spouse is allowed to see the bride in her full image before the ceremony, there will be no enthusiasm.
- Prohibition of wearing wedding rings before the wedding ceremony. According to tradition, wedding rings can be tried on once, when purchasing or ordering from a jeweler. Ideally, the master should take measurements, and the rings are put into boxes without additional fittings. In the old days, girls saw their wedding rings directly at the moment of their wedding. It’s even worse if a stranger tries on the treasured rings. You should not even let anyone touch them except a jeweler or a store clerk, who must use special cotton gloves. Even for close relatives this is a strict taboo. Why? Everything is very simple. Precious metals and stones perfectly absorb the energy and aura of other people. A fleeting contact can “give” happy newlyweds someone else’s grief, the evil eye, or illness.
- Wedding rings are bought or made only as a couple. It is best to come to the jewelry salon with your chosen one and immediately resolve all issues with the purchase of engagement rings. By tradition, they are purchased on the same day, from the same batch. Compliance with this rule prophesies harmony in the family, mutual understanding and excellent relationships. You should not bring numerous friends and relatives with you and listen to their advice. Moreover, you should not brag about your purchase to your single and unmarried friends and girlfriends - few will be able to contain their feelings of envy.
- The night before the wedding, the bride and groom spend separately. A little strange tradition, in the opinion of modern youth, because many live together before marriage. In fact, the meaning of this rule is again in the psychology of the young. A meeting at the altar should feel like the first time - delightful, reverent, passionate. This moment should be imprinted in memory for the rest of your life and become special for two. And even a short period of separation between lovers perfectly warms up their feelings at the moment of meeting at the altar. The second reason is the inevitable pre-wedding excitement. If the bride and groom decide to spend this night together, they are unlikely to be able to sleep while discussing the preparation and organization of the celebration for the hundredth time. And sleep is the best way to look great on your wedding day and have fun from the heart.
- Risky and unfamiliar procedures should not be prescribed on the day before the wedding. The bride's desire to look perfect on her wedding day can play a bad joke on her. With the possibilities of modern cosmetology and spa salons, dramatic changes in appearance are a matter of time and money spent. However, not all procedures are harmless. Some services may give an effect that is very far from what was expected. These include skin redness, blemishes, allergic rashes, uneven tanning, burned hair and other not very pleasant problems. Therefore, you should not experiment, not on this day. Moreover, wise folk signs say that strong changes in the appearance of the bride or groom can lead not only to difficulties in later life, but also to refusal at the altar.
- It is better to avoid new or questionable dishes on the eve of the wedding. The human body's reaction to unfamiliar, spoiled foods or unexpected combinations is unpredictable. It can be anything, from banal diarrhea to hospitalization with severe digestive upset or an infectious disease.
- Other representatives of the fairer sex should not touch the bride's bouquet. The groom buys flowers for the bride, and he gives them to the chosen one along with his heart and vow to protect and love, cherish and cherish. You can entrust the responsible task of purchasing a bouquet to your closest male relatives or friends, but not to women.
Can guests wear a white dress to a wedding?
Of course, if you come to a wedding in a white dress, this may cause discontent among others . So immediately get ready to listen to unflattering words addressed to you. According to the rules of etiquette, the center of attention on the wedding day is the bride. The answer to the question of why you can’t wear a white dress to a wedding is simple. By choosing such an outfit, you attract attention to yourself, taking it away from the bride. However, not all girls choose a white outfit for their celebration, considering it unfestive and irrelevant. In this case, there are no obstacles to going to the wedding in white.
If you are a bridesmaid, then according to the rules of etiquette you should wear a cocktail dress that is not too bright in color.
Wedding guest in cocktail dress
It can be anything - short, medium, long . The style doesn't matter either. The main thing is to choose a dress that will be comfortable to move in, because the celebration will only end in the evening. A corsage dress would be a good option.

You can agree in advance with other bridesmaids and wear the same outfits .

If you still do not want to listen to disapproving words from guests, then you can choose a dress that is not completely white . For a wedding it is suitable in combination with:
- gray;
- purple;
- beige;
- red flowers.
What if the bride is your loved one? Of course, the question of whether a guest in a white dress can go to a friend’s wedding is rhetorical, because if a girl values relationships, then she is unlikely to want to spoil them. A friend may not admit that such an act is unpleasant to her, and will not show dissatisfaction. However, the relationship may deteriorate. Therefore, if you are not a bride, then think carefully before taking this step. Of course, all of the above does not apply to cases where the bride and groom ask all guests to come to the celebration in white .
All guests wear white to the wedding
Signs for a wedding
Signs for a wedding day have been collected by our ancestors for centuries. Observant guests and relatives paid their attention to the course of the celebrations, assessed various little things, saw the subsequent life of the newlyweds, and drew conclusions, gradually building a coherent system of traditions and customs. What did our ancestors notice?
- The bride's green dress promises troubles in future family life, numerous quarrels, and problems.
- A fallen wedding ring promises inevitable scandals between spouses.
- If the bride's dress is torn during the wedding ceremony, then life with her mother-in-law will not work out.
- On the eve and day of the wedding, it is better for the bride not to pick up needles. If she injects herself, then frequent scandals in the family cannot be avoided.
- The bride should not serve alcoholic drinks to guests herself. Violation of this rule leads to binge drinking by the husband.
- If someone else tries the bread and salt served to the newlyweds, expect big troubles.
- If the heel of the bride's shoe breaks, this is a sure sign of the husband's future infidelity.
- A mirror broken on a wedding day prophesies seven years of disaster.
It is forbidden to give young people piercing and cutting objects - knives, forks, needles. Bedding donated by guests, jewelry, mirrors of any kind, and images of various frightening moments, cataclysms, and misfortunes do not bring happiness.
What you can and cannot wear to a wedding
When choosing clothes for a wedding, any person has to take into account several factors: weather, season, place and time of the celebration. You also need to take into account the degree of relationship to the newlyweds and wedding responsibilities. For example, all females cannot wear white dresses to a wedding - this advantage is given to the main character. And it is advisable for the witness to choose clothes so that they are in harmony with the bride’s dress, but in no case exceed it in beauty.
For the bride
The girl immediately needs to decide whether she will order a dress or wear a ready-made one. When ordering a dress, it is advisable to avoid massive accessories, artificial flowers and heavy stones. The bride should be airy and gentle on her wedding day, so you only need to choose a dress that suits your own style and figure. The same outfit looks completely different on different girls.
If the wedding is planned in the cold season, then it is advisable for the bride to choose one of the presented options as a material for outerwear:
- Fur. Natural fur will perfectly warm a girl and will go well with absolutely any chosen dress. You don't have to choose white fur; any natural or bright color will look chic.
- Knitwear. Brides in scarves, shawls, hats, mittens and knitted cardigans look romantic and unusual. A white dress will look stylish in wedding photographs, paired with a bright contrasting cardigan that will not make the bride look fat.
- Jackets and coats. Coats and jackets in pastel colors are quite suitable for a wedding outfit. And the bright color of the outerwear will create the image of Little Red Riding Hood or Snow White.
- Down jacket. This top is suitable only for brave brides. Not many girls will decide to add a regular down jacket to their dress, but in vain - this is the warmest option of all, and stores now sell very beautiful down jackets with decorative inserts and fur trim.
To the groom
People are accustomed to stereotypes that the bride must be more brilliant than her gentleman. But lately, men have been defending their rights and trying to diversify the boring black wedding suit with bright and unusual outfits. Some extravagant men even wear brightly patterned shirts to their wedding, ignoring ties. Others dare to play with contrasts: they try to turn a modern monochromatic suit into an avant-garde outfit, boldly experimenting with accessories.
Signs for newlyweds
Even if the newlyweds do not really listen to superstitions, it is worth using folk wisdom and trying to hold a significant celebration in such a way that only pleasant memories remain. After all, it is always better to prevent than to deal with the consequences. Moreover, most of the signs are quite simple and easy to follow:
- wedding rings should be mirror-smooth, without jewelry or stones. It is this form that ensures a problem-free, easy family life;
- You cannot take divorced or married people as witnesses;
- being sprinkled with grain and coins at the exit from the registry office or church is an ancient sign that promises prosperity and fertility for a young family;
- the bride should not let go of the wedding bouquet. You can only place it in front of you in a vase of water for the duration of the feast. At the end of the celebration, the bouquet can be thrown into a group of unmarried friends. According to another tradition, the bouquet was dried and stored as a family heirloom, since by throwing it to another girl, the bride gave her her family happiness.
There are also separate signs for the bride and groom that regulate their attire, behavior and routine on the wedding day.
For the bride
Wedding signs for the bride:
- the newlywed's dress should be one piece, since a skirt separate from the corset or a set of blouse and skirt promise a quick divorce or separate lives far from each other;
- It is not recommended for the bride to look in the mirror in full wedding attire. If necessary, you should first remove part of the vestment - gloves, hat, belt;
- young people are protected from the evil eye and evil thoughts. The best thing for this is a steel or silver pin inserted from the wrong side into the hem or corset with the head down, or several stitches of bright blue thread;
- The dress must be worn over the head, and in no case over the legs. And the jewelry should be managed by the friend who is happily married. You should not choose pearls for your wedding, as they promise tears;
- if the bride’s family has younger sisters, and they want to get married as soon as possible, then you can contribute to this - when leaving the house, the bride should pull the edge of the tablecloth on the table;
- The bride's outfit should be new, from new fabric. Dresses rented, borrowed or inherited carry someone else's energy, which is not always favorable;
- the newlywed's shoes, in which she spent her happiest day, are a magnificent amulet for the family, attracting good luck;
- when leaving her father’s house, a girl should under no circumstances turn around, even if her name is insistently called;
- the bride’s dress cannot be tried on by other women - they take her family happiness for themselves;
- The newlywed's shoes should be closed-toed. And under the left heel it is advisable to put a large denomination coin - for a prosperous life.
The color of the bride's dress is also of great importance:
- a white outfit gives a strong family, a happy, long life;
- blue shades are ambiguous, as they simultaneously promise the fidelity of a spouse and his betrayal;
- by wearing blue, the bride takes a big risk - her husband will quickly lose interest in her;
- black - the color of future troubles, widow's color;
- a yellow dress promises a scandalous divorce in no more than six years;
- noble gold - a shade of financial well-being;
- the fiery red color simultaneously bestows a happy life, and can be interpreted as a lack of feelings, which is why the marriage is doomed to divorce soon.
For the groom
By following simple rules, the groom can be sure: the wedding will be held at the highest level, and subsequent family life will delight in the absence of problems and quarrels.
- To protect against evil people and negative energy, the newlywed should pin a pin on the lapel of his collar or put a small icon of the guardian saint in his breast pocket.
- A tie is a traditional addition to the groom's wedding suit. But the butterfly, according to signs, leads to further betrayals.
- A small chocolate bar in your jacket pocket promises a sweet family life.
- If the weather is rainy outside, the groom should stay away from puddles, as they promise a love of strong drinks in the future.
The shades of the groom's outfit also have their own meaning:
- It is advisable to sew a suit in a traditional black color;
- white is a harbinger of misfortune;
- brown indicates the tough and even cruel character of the groom;
- heavenly shades promise family squabbles over money;
- a red suit promises the groom illness and quick death;
- wearing a blue outfit, a man runs a high risk of acquiring horns;
- dark gray shades indicate a strong marriage that will last for many years.
Wedding signs for the bride and groom
There are many different wedding signs according to popular belief. And many of the signs not only just come true, but over time even move into the stage of traditions. And today we will try to tell and notify the reader of some of these wedding signs about the most important points that wedding folk signs tell, indicate or warn the newlyweds about. Signs that have evolved over centuries and are time-tested. Believe it or not? - this is a personal matter, but the topic is so important - a wedding - that reading and learning about the signs will not be superfluous for any person, or a beloved couple who is just preparing to get married and start a family. And you know, there is something so logical and probable in wedding signs when you read them. It’s not for nothing that folk signs have existed for hundreds of years and are passed from one generation to another, like some important relic. And so, let's take a look at the meanings of wedding signs, and see what they tell us and what they advise.
Signs about wedding clothes
It is not for nothing that many girls adopt Western traditions, according to which they have bridesmaids dressed in similar outfits. It is very undesirable for other girls to dress in white for a wedding - this will simply create confusion - who is our bride? But it is not a good omen to allow guests to dress in black on such a day, so it is better to warn them in advance. In order not to quarrel between the newlyweds, their mothers need to take care of the “integrity” of their outfits. According to legend, the mothers of the bride and groom should be dressed only in dresses, and not in suits, which involve separating the top and them.
Signs about wedding gifts
wedding signs for the bride and groom
Guests are also not allowed to give cutlery to young people. Despite the apparent benefits of such a household gift, forks and knives with their sharpness can provoke quarrels in the new family. A watch is also considered a bad gift - some interpret it as a harbinger of quarrels, others believe that a watch means that the spouses will soon separate. Roses, despite their majestic status according to popular belief, are not the best flowers for a wedding. Their sharp thorns, which can hurt you, are a sign of wounds and pain in family life. Red roses are especially undesirable.
In order for a daughter to be happy in marriage, the mother must give her before the wedding some kind of family heirloom that would become her talisman. It can be a cross, pendant, ring or any other decoration, and it is better if it has been passed down from generation to generation, symbolizing the strength of family ties.
Wedding signs for the bride
Before going to the registry office, when the newlyweds are just getting ready, and the bridesmaids are helping the bride get dressed, it is very important to avoid several moments. Firstly, girlfriends should not look at the same mirror as the bride - it is believed that they can take the groom away from her. No one can try on the bride’s jewelry, dress, and especially the wedding ring. To ensure happiness in family life, it is recommended for a married woman who is happy in her marriage to wear earrings on the bride.
Before leaving for the wedding, the bride is supposed to cry a little... This sign is based on the belief that in this way she leaves her tears in her unmarried life.
Signs about the wedding date
There are many signs associated with the time, month of marriage, as well as the weather that accompany the wedding. It’s well known: you can’t get married in May - you’ll suffer all your life. Traditionally, many weddings take place in September, but not only because of the warmth and beautiful photos against the backdrop of yellow foliage. According to popular belief, those who get married in September are guaranteed a quiet, calm family life without worries. June is also considered a favorable month, and a marriage contracted in this month is predicted to have a honeymoon for life.
Despite the fact that snow or rain is extremely undesirable for the newlyweds and their guests for elementary reasons of the comfort of an outdoor celebration, these natural phenomena promise happiness for the newlyweds. Leap years, like the thirteenth, are traditionally considered unlucky for marriage.
According to popular belief, parents of young people should not go with them to the wedding (or to the registry office). The bride's parents bear an even greater burden after seeing off their daughter to her married life. After she has left home, she needs to wash the floor (but not the threshold) - then she will not have to return to her parents’ house, and her married life will be long and happy.
Sign about a wedding bouquet
Graceful, elegant or lush, fancy, the bouquet is an integral part of the wedding celebration, complementing the bride's outfit, then giving hope for marriage to the one who catches it. The wedding dress has always received much more attention than wedding accessories, but for modern brides the importance of the bouquet is increasing.
Despite the fact that throwing a bridal bouquet is a tradition that came to the post-Soviet countries not so long ago, it is impossible to ignore the signs associated with flowers. The bouquet should be in harmony with the outfit in color and style, but the choice of components of the bouquet is an important issue, because flowers have their own eloquent language.
It is not recommended to give roses, especially red ones, at a wedding; the same belief applies to the bride’s bouquet. Even if she does not prick herself on the thorns, their sharpness is a symbol of danger, quarrels, wounds, which are of no use on the eve of family life.
White flowers are considered the most appropriate in a wedding bouquet, symbolizing tenderness, freshness, purity, and innocence. Lilies of the valley, tulips, daisies, chrysanthemums - these flowers will be an excellent addition to a wedding dress, due to their simplicity and simplicity. A bouquet of them will harmonize especially well with a wedding outdoors. Fans of elegance without pretentiousness can choose calla lilies and orchids. Flowers for a wedding bouquet are only fresh, never artificial.
The white lace that decorates the bouquet will become wonderful symbols of purity, simplicity, subtlety and fragility of family relationships. Satin is a symbol of beauty, flexibility and strength of family ties, which is why a bouquet tied with a pastel-colored satin ribbon is so common.
The traditional throwing of a bouquet into a crowd of unmarried friends came to Russia from Western countries. The bride stands with her back to them and throws the bouquet up and back. Whoever catches it will be the next to marry.
There is also a native Russian version of this ritual. According to it, the bridesmaids dance in a circle around the bride, who is blindfolded. She blindly hands the bouquet to one of the girls, who should become the next bride. But the bride does not throw her own bouquet, but a duplicate specially prepared for this, so there are often two bouquets at a wedding.
The main bouquet is chosen by the future spouses together, and the groom must present it to his betrothed on the morning before the wedding. This bouquet is a symbol of their love and fidelity, strong family ties, and the strength of the marriage. Many people consider it a good omen to dry it and sew it into a pillow, thereby preserving marital feelings.
Signs about a wedding dress
A wedding dress is an object of envy, pride and discussion, a cause of joy, but also a detail with which a lot of signs are associated. Which design to choose, which shade is best, how to wear it correctly and how to behave with your wedding dress, which will adorn your figure during the most important day in a woman’s life?
A wedding dress should be white and nothing else - this sign dates back to ancient times, when the color of the dress was associated with the innocence of the bride. Despite the fact that the issue of purity for modern brides is no longer relevant, white color still remains the most preferred color for weddings as a symbol of newness, joy, and entry into a new life.
The bride should buy a new dress, and not rent or buy a used one. There is a superstition according to which you can take on someone else's fate, which is not always happy. It is also highly recommended to keep your own dress, and not sell or re-gift it - this is considered a symbol of the strength of the marriage.
Wedding signs: how to try on and put on a wedding dress
You need to buy a dress that is designed as a whole, continuous, and not a corset and a skirt. This is also a symbol of the strength of family ties. To put on a dress, even a very fluffy, long one, you only need to put it on over your head, and not through your legs.
According to established tradition, the bride must beware of the evil eye, which in the old days was often done using a wedding dress. For this reason, the dress, firstly, should not be given to anyone to try on - not even your closest friends, and secondly, it must be celebrated in a special way. The first way is to pin the pin head down on the inside of the hem. The second is to make a few stitches with blue thread, also on the inside.
The groom should not see the bride in a dress before the wedding - perhaps the most common sign that almost everyone follows. But there is another one, according to which the bride herself should not see herself in the mirror in full dress before the wedding. According to this sign, you cannot see yourself in the complete attire, and superstitious girls are advised to look in the mirror, for example, without one glove.
The wedding dress must certainly be new, but the girl must also have something old with her, for example, earrings or other jewelry. It's better if she takes it from a married friend.
The bride should be dressed by her friends, assistant, and relatives, and according to popular belief, this should be done not in the bride’s house, but at someone else’s. But all this should take place only before the wedding itself. Already during the celebration, none of the friends are allowed to adjust the bride’s dress - this is how they interfere in her new life.
Wedding signs about rings
“A wedding ring is not a simple piece of jewelry,” as the old song sang, and this statement remains true to this day. There are many signs associated with rings at a wedding, by which the future of the newlyweds is judged, and they themselves must adhere to some recommendations regarding rings, because this is a symbol of the unity of the new family.
Rings must be purchased new. Accessories melted down from other jewelry, other people's rings, or parents' rings cannot be used as wedding rings. This way you can take on the fate of other people, and the new family should have its own. Moreover, you cannot use rings from previous marriages; widow’s rings are a very bad omen. No one other than the bride and groom should try on their rings.
What should wedding rings be like?
wedding signs for the bride and groom
Despite the variety of designs available to modern newlyweds, it is not recommended to get carried away with patterns, engravings, and stones for wedding rings. There is a sign that says that such rings must certainly be smooth, then life will be smooth, without worries and worries. As a sign of love and fidelity, you can allow elegant engraving on the inside of the rings, but they should not be overloaded with ornate lines and precious stones. Both the groom and the bride should not have any other rings on their hands other than wedding rings on their wedding day.
If the bride wants a ring with a stone, it should be small, slightly protruding above the surface. The best options: a diamond that promises long-term love, an emerald - a symbol of tender feelings, or a ruby - a sign of the passion of the spouses.
Spouses' rings should be, if not completely identical, then similar. The difference may be in width, but the style, metal - everything should be the same, because this is a symbol of the strength of the marriage bond. According to the old tradition, the wife's ring is always thinner than the husband's, which symbolizes his strength and her fragility.
The glove on the bride's hand must be removed when the groom puts the ring on her. It is believed that the one who puts the ring on his half closer to the base of the finger will be the head of the family. In any case, the ring should sit firmly on the finger so that it does not fly off on the way from the registry office and during the celebration - this means separation.
After the rings are put on, the newlywed should not take the empty box in which they were lying. According to the sign, it should be immediately given to an unmarried friend and, according to legend, she should be the next to get married.
Signs for the bride

If a bride has just left her parents' house, her mother and father should immediately sweep the floor.
The purpose of this action is to prevent a return to their parents, which would mean the collapse of family life.
Seeing the bride means you will soon rejoice at some good event.
The one who catches the bouquet thrown by the bride will soon be the main character at the wedding.
During the ceremony, the bride broke her heel - a bad omen. She predicts that divorce will not be long in coming. Therefore, it is safer to wear old shoes, although they will not look as impressive as new ones.
If a newly-made wife crosses the threshold into a new home, her family life may not work out. To avoid this, the husband must carry his wife in his arms, even if it takes his last strength.
In order for the marriage to be happy, it is necessary to make at least one stitch on her wedding dress while the bride is in church.
If you give your wedding dress to someone, happiness will go with it into the wrong hands. In order not to accumulate other people's problems in your personal life, you should not get married in a used dress.
Signs for the groom
If the groom gives yellow flowers, it may lead to separation. Taking photos together before the wedding can lead to the same consequences.
If the bride gives the groom a knife, the sign suggests that by doing so she risks breaking off their engagement.
If the groom carries the bride in his arms across the threshold of their new common home, the couple will have a long and prosperous life together. If the bride crosses it herself, conflicts will not be long in coming.
If a girl gives her lover a handkerchief as a gift, then it is likely that they will separate without ever getting married. The same applies to hand-knitted clothing items (sweaters, scarves) given to the guy as a gift. In this case, the beloved will find another lady of his heart.
Wedding signs for the bride and groom

During the wedding, all the attention of the guests is focused on the newlyweds. The bride and groom are nervous and worried, but not only because of the close attention. Many people want to spend this day in accordance with all the rules and even signs that would promise happiness and a long family life.
Neither the groom nor the bride should cut their hair on the eve of the wedding. According to ancient belief, cutting your hair means losing energy and communication with higher powers, which is especially undesirable right before marriage.
To prevent young people from being jinxed, before leaving the house they must put on pins (head down), which would be invisible to others. The bride attaches the pin to the inside hem of the dress, the groom attaches it to the pocket with the boutonniere. Also, the bride is protected from the evil eye by a veil, which she should not lift until the kiss, already as a wife. Both the veil and boutonniere of the newlyweds should not be removed during the wedding festivities.
Another sign is associated with the pin, promising a strong bond between the newly-made husband and wife. Their clothes are fastened together with a pin, making it impossible to separate them during the celebration. If this sign is not observed, then witnesses and guests should take care that the newlyweds are not “separated” by passing between them.
The newlyweds should sit at the wedding table not on separate chairs, but on a bench - this is a symbol of unity and a guarantee of the strength of the newly formed family. Before seating the young people, you need to make sure that nothing is scattered or spilled under their table and chairs. Also, the organizers of the celebration should make sure that all the cutlery of the bride and groom is the same, so that in the future there will be no discord in the family. Their witnesses should sit next to the bride and groom, and they should be neither married nor divorced.
The bride and groom should travel to the registry office (to church) in different cars, and there is a sign that the path should be as winding as possible. This belief comes from ancient times, when the wedding procession deliberately “lobbed” on the way to the church, hiding from evil spirits. In addition, this foreshadowed a smooth path in life for the husband and wife, who left all the difficulties in their single life. The bride's groom's accessories are of great importance. For example, the groom at a wedding should wear a tie, not a bow tie, otherwise there will be infidelity on his part. The bride is not recommended to wear pearl jewelry - it will lead to tears, as well as jewelry - it is costume jewelry that is recommended.
In order for there to be money in the family and good luck to reign, the bride must put a small copper coin in the groom’s shoe.
Well, from our website “Private Notes” we wish all newlyweds love and a happy family life, a strong family, and, of course, material well-being, good luck and luck in everything!
