The word "sign" - the root of the words "note, notice," that is, draw conclusions based on a situation. So, it's very simple to explain the widespread superstition: "If you sit on the corner of the girl, then she will not marry for seven years." In the old days, at the corner of the table, they usually put orphaned relatives, homeless women, poor girls, whom it was very difficult to get married and so. According to another note, if a girl sweeps crumbs off the table to the floor, then her husband will be bald or pock-marked. Everything is also simpler nowhere - in the olden days men were looking for mostly good housewives in wives, and bad housewives got bad husbands too.
Blindly believe in all the signs are not worth it, because the most important thing is a positive attitude. And yet, if you want to listen to the wisdom of our ancestors, we offer TOP-10 wedding signs:
- Preparation for the wedding begins with the selection of the date of the celebration. In the past, the most unfortunate months for marriage were May, March and October. But the wedding, played in June, August, September, December or February, promised a happy union. Naturally, the most unfortunate date was the 13th day, unsuitable days of the week - Wednesday and Friday. And on the 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th, they are very successful for the wedding ceremony.
- If the bride and groom are not seen on the eve of the wedding, and even more so, do not spend the night together - a good sign, promising a happy marriage.
- The weather on the day of the wedding is also of great importance. So, if precipitation falls (rain, snow, blizzard) - to prosperity and well-being in the family. The wind, on the contrary, to trouble.
- The wedding cortege must be noisy: cars must be signaled, often bundles of cans are tied to machines (in the old days bells were used for this purpose). It is believed that loud sounds scare away the evil spirit and evil spirits.
- On registration or wedding, the bride and groom must go necessarily in different cars, and after the ceremony - together.
- After the ceremony, the newlyweds should go out holding hands. Even better, if the bridegroom takes the bride in her arms. It is important to ensure that no one crosses the road to the young. If there is such a danger, then a step ahead is better for witnesses.
- On the table to the young put 2 bottles of champagne, tied with one tape, which is not uncorked during the banquet. This is considered a guarantee that the couple will not only celebrate the first anniversary, but also the birth of the first-born.
- To the house of the newlyweds was always a full cup, they put them on a fur coat turned out by the fur outside, and to the bottom of the glasses they were tossed on a coin. Then the coins were kept as a family relic in a secret place. To drink the contents of the glasses must necessarily be to the bottom, because it is not wine that remains in the glass, but family tears.
- The wedding cake of the spouse must be cut together - this is the agreement in the family. The first piece is put on the plate of the bride, the second groom, and only then to the parents and guests.
- A wedding bouquet should always be at the bride's, at the table it should be put in a vase in front of her. On the wedding night, the bouquet should be in the bedroom of the young. To throw a bouquet given by the groom, it is impossible: the bouquet will release the bride, and happiness will swirl like a bird. The bouquet should be replaced with a similar one.
Be happy!
