A wedding is one of the most responsible, but at the same time joyful events, when young couples reinforce their feelings by marriage, connecting hearts together. Preparations for marriage, celebration and the first wedding night begin long before this treasured day. The organization of a festive banquet, the purchase of wedding rings, a wedding dress, a veil and a costume often becomes the real and most difficult test for a couple, because the wedding, like any other festival, is surrounded by a lot of customs and, of course, superstitions.
Many are frightened when they realize that the triumph of bonding the hearts of two loving halves falls on a leap year, when the extra day is added - February 29. There are many opinions about whether a leap year is suitable for a wedding or whether it is better to postpone the celebration for a certain period. There is an opinion among the population that a wedding in a leap year is unacceptable, since this time is the most unfavorable: there are a lot of deaths, people suffer from various diseases, undergo the collapse of their own business and personal life. Many young people try to play a wedding before the leap year, as they believe in numerous signs. A wedding in a leap year, in their opinion, dooms the newlyweds to a short life together, which will be filled with scandals and disputes. But statistics indicate reverse facts.
A wedding played in a leap year, as registry office employees note, is one of the happiest events that could have occurred at this time. People experiencing strong feelings, despite superstition and terrible signs, understand that if there is love and mutual understanding, then no adversity will stand in the way of their happiness. This helps spouses avoid divorce.
Astrologers find nothing supernatural and unusual in a leap year, because February 29 is a completely ordinary day, which comes because the astronomical year is 365 days and 6 hours. To avoid a pretty decent error in calculating time and bias for each year, which is a multiple of 4 and an extra day has been added. For the first time, a leap year was introduced in the year 45, starting from which mankind switched to the Julian calendar, named after Guy Julius Caesar.
A wedding in a leap year, according to the ministers of the Orthodox Church, does not carry anything destructive for a young union, because there is no "unfortunate time" for love. It is not written in any church book that a wedding in a leap year is played according to other individual traditions. The sacraments of the wedding are exactly the same as in any other year, day or month. The Orthodox ministers who exist on this occasion superstitions and signs reject and with great pleasure perform the sacraments of the wedding of people who love one another.
The people have a leap year called the "year of brides", and this is no accident. Girls, in order to preserve their future wedding union, independently visited the houses of their "narrowed" for matchmaking. Moreover, they came completely alone, without matchmakers. The chosen young man could not, if a girl came to him to marry, refuse her reciprocity. It was after a large number of weddings were recorded in history in a leap year - superstition and bad omens disappeared into oblivion, and the year received a completely different name for “year of brides”.
For true and sincere love, in fact, there are no barriers and obstacles either in the form of a leap year or in the form of astrological predictions. If you are confident in your feelings and the feelings of your soulmate, then do not doubt the date of the celebration of the wedding. After all, loving hearts will overcome all the obstacles that stand in the way of their personal happiness.
