 Wedding Superstitions- Month of the year

There are a lot of funny little rhymes that often go along with weddings. One of the rhymes goes with the different months of the year, which would then reveal whether or not it is good or bad luck to marry on that day. If you’re superstitious, then after reading the rhyme you may want to consider changing your wedding month or just leave it as is and turn your cheek to the superstition. The rhyme goes as follows:

“Married when the year is new, he’ll be loving, kind, and true, When February birds do mate, You wed nor dread your fate. If you wed when March winds blow, joy and sorrow both you’ll know. Marry in April when you can, Joy for Maiden and for Man. Marry in the month of May, and you’ll surely rue the day. Marry when June roses grow, over land and sea you’ll go. Those who in July do wed, must labour for their daily bread. Whoever wed in August be, many a change is sure to see. Marry in September’s shrine, your living will be rich and fine. If in October you do marry, love will come but riches tarry. If you wed in bleak November, only joys will come, remember. When December snows fall fast, marry and true love will last.”

The pledge that lasts a lifetime.

Marriage is the most solemn pledge we make in our lifetimes. Traditionally the wedding pledge is made in front of family and friends who take special pains to stand up and witness our pledge. The wedding pledge is to be true and faithful and loving to another human being. To wed is both the most basic of all human pledges, and at the same time the most sublime.

Marriage carries with it the most solemn of promises, but it also embodies the potential for the greatest joy of human existence – the pure joy that flows from two hearts beating as one. There are few joys in life as deep or as long lasting as the joy that springs from the well of true love and a lasting marriage.

Wedding favors are just one of many aspects you have to take in consideration when planning your wedding and reception. With costs on the rise, wedding favors are finding their way more and more at the bottom of the priority list. However, this does not have to be the case. In fact many people have gotten more creative with their favors to still bring fun and elegance at a fraction of the price.

The tradition of wedding favors first started back in the times of the Romans. However, it was back a few centuries ago with the Italians and the French that wedding favors began as regular tradition as they would send off their special wedding guests with wedding favors known as bonbonnieres. In addition, they were also given out at other special occasions. These special gifts were small boxes that were either made out of porcelain, precious stones, crystal or metal. These little boxes would always include small delicate items in them that took time to make. Therefore, when a guest would receive them, they knew that they where special because there was so much time, money and effort into making them for their guests.

These boxes were also a way for the bride and groom to send some of their luck home with their wedding guests. Back then a wedding was considered to bring luck, health, fertility and happiness to the special couple and by sending their guest’s home with these gifts, was a way of thanking them for attending their event and send them off with their own good luck. These days you are not stuck with a box to fill with little trinkets, but rather whatever your imagination can come up with can be turned into a wedding favor.
