A wedding is a very important event in the life of every young couple. How to make everything so that the celebration went like clockwork, without excesses and surprises? Wedding signs and customs will help in this.
Ransom bride
The ransom of the bride is one of the most famous wedding ceremonies today, which is still being observed. In the modern world, it acquired a purely symbolic meaning, but earlier, in the old days, brides were really bought from parents and even the whole family. Everything was suitable for this: money, food, clothes, household items. Depending on the time of year, brides rose in price, then became cheaper. What remains relevant in this rite today? The groom still loses in the competitions a little money or gifts to the bride's family. Nobody has also canceled the bride’s chant, which should be attended by all the youth invited to the wedding; the father’s hands were left as well - this is how the deal of handing the bride in new hands - the mother-in-law and the mother-in-law — is sealed and, of course, the union of the bride and groom by combining their hands.
Sprinkling track
Modern wedding signs and customs also suggest strewing the path along which young people leave the house of the bride, cereals, sweets, small money. This is done so that the newly-made family does not have a lack of anything: neither food, nor sweet life, nor material wealth. Good luck will bring a coin or candy, picked up after young people walked on them.
Signs: time to get married
Many people still try to comply with all wedding signs and customs. Why is this happening? Probably, just in case, because who knows whether this works or not. So, according to our signs, the young are not advised to marry in May, otherwise they will toil for life. The same sign also exists among the Greeks and Italians. It is best to get married in the fall or late August, immediately after the main posts. Russian wedding ceremonies and customs also state that if it rains or snows on the wedding day, the young family will definitely have good luck.
Signs: outfits
Wedding omens and customs also concern the outfits of the young. So, in all countries it is known that it is considered a bad sign to see your beloved bridegroom in a wedding dress until the moment of marriage. In some cases, the bride herself even tries not to completely look at herself in the mirror, you can do this without any one accessory, for example, without one glove. These signs should protect the young from evil forces.
Rings
A very important attribute of every wedding is an engagement ring. There are also various wedding signs about rings. So, when buying this symbol of love, you should pay attention to the circle of the ring itself: it should be smooth, without any patterns, pebbles and convolutions, then the path of the young family will be smooth. It was considered a bad omen to drop the ring during the wedding, which meant that the couple would not live together for a long time. And for a strong marriage, some nations propose to do the following manipulations with the ring, which was presented by the groom to the betrothal: you need to pass the bride’s hair through it and set it on fire. It is believed that the prenuptial agreement will be very successful.
