We are not superstitious and do not believe in signs ... as long as it does not concern us. And then we ask ourselves the question: "What if it makes sense? After all, all the old wedding signs and superstitions developed over many centuries. "

What are the signs? A sign is an event once happened to someone who was understandable by contemporaries, but eventually lost its original meaning. Over time, all this has turned into warnings, moralizations and prohibitions. Most of the old wedding favors and superstitions are aimed at protecting the union of two loving hearts, which is considered sacred absolutely for all the peoples of our planet.

For example, if on the morning of the wedding day the groom and the bride or their relatives attacked a sneeze, then this is fortunately. Also, rain or snow, which began on the day of marriage, promises young people happiness and wealth.

Young people are forbidden to put on any decorations. They should be decorated only with wedding rings - smooth, without stones and incisions, so that the bride's life is smooth, without any difficulties and troubles.

Dress young must be white and it is desirable not to sell it, but to keep it throughout the life of a married couple.

Before entering the house, young people should break the plate, and in the registry office - a glass, from which the wedding champagne is drunk. This action should bring happiness and prosperity to the newlyweds' house.

In the new house the bride the young husband should bring on hands. If the young live in the groom's house, the father-in-law and mother-in-law will meet the newlyweds at the gate. The father-in-law should give the bride a glass of wine or a beer, and the mother-in-law should put the newlywed pie on the hood and throw the hops under her feet. "Hidden" cake newlyweds should eat equally in front of the wedding table, wine or beer - drink in half. All this is done so that children live their whole lives in love, wealth and harmony.

Before the feast, after the ceremony in the registry office, the most respected man in the family three times holds the young around the festive table, symbolizing this eternal spiritual connection between husband and wife.

To ensure that young people always have money in their homes and they live in prosperity, they put seeds in their shoes, and when they leave the registry office, they sprinkle rice or wheat, rose petals, hop (to live cheerfully and in harmony), sweets, coins.

On the wedding day, the bride must necessarily cry, to be married she was happy.

Pillows on the newlyweds' bed are laid with slits of pillowcases in the direction of each other, so that the bride and groom live together all their lives, all right.

After leaving the building of the REGISTRY OFFICE (church), the bride should turn her back on all unmarried girls invited to the wedding, and throw a bouquet of flowers over her head. A girl who catches flowers will soon be married. The bridegroom throws the untied garter of the bride in the direction of his unmarried comrades. The guy who caught the garter soon marries. If you want to get married as soon as possible, you will be helped by a touch to the wedding rings of the young.

For this, young people should sit as tightly as possible among themselves.

You can not let your girlfriends wash dishes at the wedding (let the maintenance staff do it).

There are a lot of old signs and superstitions, as young people need to behave correctly during the wedding. Here are some of them:

1. The bride and groom, when they are brought to the church porch, must take hold of the staple and say: "May all our sorrows and illnesses not go with us to the crown, but remain on you, the iron brace." In the people it was believed that the iron brace attracts all bad things, giving a brighter future to the newlyweds.

3. Which of the newlyweds during the wedding candle is more likely to be stifled, then the first to leave the life.

4. It is forbidden to look at each other's bride and groom during the wedding, and if they still looked (especially in the eyes) - they do not love each other or someone will commit treason in marriage.

You can not come to the wedding in black clothes, cross the road to the young when they go to the registry office or to the church. If you saw a wedding cortege in the street - rather grab at the button - for luck.

Do not forget that it will take a lot and it is simply impossible to observe them. Remember, the most important wedding sign is that if the eyes of the bride and groom are shining with a quiet fire of happiness, if their faces are lovingly turned towards each other, and everything around is illuminated by the warm light of love, then, fortunately, no signs will be that obstacle.
