The portal www.svadebka.ws will tell you what the bride and groom should not do, and will also show that knowing bad wedding omens is useful, because by warning against bad signs, you will be sure that after the wedding you will have a long and happy life together.
Bad omens associated with the month and day of the wedding
There are a huge number of signs and superstitions about when it is best to have a wedding. It is believed that it is better not to get married on Thursday and Friday. These are the most difficult days for future family life. The most suitable days for the ceremony are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
As for the month for marriage, the signs say the following:
- The celebration in January threatens to be lost. But the other two winter months are considered favorable for a wedding: December promises love between husband and wife, which will grow stronger every day, February promises a long life together.
- A wedding in March promises a joint move of the spouses to a new place, a wedding in April promises impermanence of family happiness, and a celebration in May promises betrayal and mistrust.
- A wedding in June promises a sweet life. If the marriage took place in July, then the couple will experience happiness and sorrow in equal quantities, and August foreshadows a friendly life together.
- A wedding in September and November promises a calm family life, but October foreshadows many difficulties in the relationship between spouses.
Signs about the wedding procession

Pleasant moments of finding personal happiness are promised by a wedding cortege encountered on the road. People generally pay a lot of attention to the people they meet along the way. There are many positive and negative beliefs that explain meeting different people. The specific interpretation of the meeting with the wedding depends on who was lucky enough to see it:
- For a successful couple who has yet formalized their relationship, the wedding they see promises strong love, marriage, and a long marriage.
- After such a meeting, those who are completely alone will find happiness in their personal lives and meet their soulmate. Completely single people will meet the person they are destined to spend their life with. Moreover, beliefs promise a quick change in the situation for the better.
- Couples in a state of conflict, close to breaking up, will overcome the “dark streak” and will live happily again. The wedding procession at the energy level will once again reunite two destinies between which a crack has run.
- If a happy married couple encounters a wedding on their way, their lives will be filled with good fortune.
True, the above meaning is relevant for situations where both spouses will see the wedding procession at the same time. If only one person celebrates the wedding, then the omen promises him a quick divorce and a quick next marriage.
Recently, another interpretation of this sign has appeared. It is associated with the birth of a baby. This sign promises the birth of a healthy baby for married couples who meet the wedding procession. Nothing is said about the specific time of birth of the heir.
Important! In any case, people like to look at wedding processions, like everything beautiful. Therefore, only good is expected from such meetings.
One interpretation of the sign promises happiness to everyone who sees a wedding on the street. It is not specified which area this happiness will affect. The person overall should feel happier than before.
Is it bad luck to postpone your wedding?
Why is the omen about postponing the wedding date considered one of the worst? Sometimes things may not go according to plan, because each couple may encounter various unplanned circumstances (trouble, financial difficulties, health problems). Such factors put young people in front of a choice: to hold the wedding on the planned day no matter what, or to postpone the celebration to a more favorable date for everyone.
If the bride and groom are superstitious, then postponing the wedding is not recommended. After all, the couple will look for the cause of any future failure in the bad omen of postponing the wedding, which can lead to deeper problems.
Wedding superstitions and wedding according to signs
Good afternoon, dear brides and grooms! Today we’ll talk about signs and wedding superstitions – what should you really pay attention to? Before every wedding, modern brides, their friends and mothers do things that seem completely meaningless at first glance. A wedding is held according to the signs of almost everyone; no one wants to lose happiness quickly.
Is it really in vain that they sew a red thread to the bride’s dress, hang a pin on the hem, carefully look through the list of guests so that there are no unlucky ones among them and find out what exactly should not be accepted as a gift, so as not to ruin their future life?
Of course, these are all prejudices, so attention is paid to them only insofar as they are. But some of them actually really work. It needs to be taken into account.
For example, you need to order a cake for a wedding white or almost white, with small delicate decorations. A wedding cake should be tall, always in several tiers.
Wedding according to signs - do you need to follow everything?
Most of the signs that were valid for ancient weddings practically do not apply to today's newlyweds.
The dough for the loaf is kneaded by a special machine, the dress and veil are usually sewn in a studio, even towels are most often embroidered by automation. So it’s simply not possible to follow everything from “a” to “z” here.
You can and should still pay attention to minor beliefs that depend on the actions of the bride or groom. If a couple follows them in everyday life, it is worth helping them in all rituals.
This will not create additional protection, but it will give the young people confidence that everything will be fine and fill them with peace of mind on the day of an important event.
It doesn’t matter whether there will be red ribbons on the glasses, gold pins and hairpins on the hem of the bride and on the lapel of the groom’s jacket, or closed toe shoes. You need to pay attention to the fact that all these actions are mainly of a utilitarian nature, therefore in many cases they will not be superfluous!
Unhappy relatives - should we call them?
A wedding according to signs is the best reason to ruin relationships with distant relatives. As a rule, everyone who was not invited for some reason is seriously offended by the young people, as well as their parents, and in the future they can really do dirty tricks. This sign works.
As for the so-called unlucky relatives, it’s a little more complicated with them. In fact, one person's bad luck is unlikely to rub off on the couple if they sincerely wish them well.
It’s much worse if someone comes to the celebration with evil intentions - he can really take away the couple’s happiness! Therefore, when compiling a list of invitees, you need to focus on personal sympathies, and not on luck and prosperity.
Strangers at a wedding
There is no need to pay attention to those who are not guests or service staff at the wedding, and not so much out of prejudice as out of common sense - outsiders are unlikely to help, but they risk causing confusion or minor misunderstandings. Therefore, it is advisable to protect young people from communicating with random people they meet.
Wedding superstitions and signs are not always wrong, be careful. Congratulations to you!

Signs about a wedding bouquet
The most famous sign about a bridal bouquet is this: if an unmarried girl catches it, she will be the next to marry. However, there is a “but” here!
The bride is not recommended to throw away her original bouquet, because with it she can give away her family happiness to other unmarried friends. For this purpose, the bride always has a duplicate bouquet with her and can easily throw it away, leaving the original for herself.
In addition, the bride should know that a composition falling from the table or from her hands foreshadows a difficult start to life together.
Signs and superstitions: preparing a girl to say goodbye to her stepfather’s house
Slavic brides prepared for marriage carefully and with trepidation. After the agreement and announcement of the day of marriage, the girl sat down to collect her dowry, with her friends helping . The dowry consisted of woven items: towels, pieces of homespun cloth, clothing. Preparation could take several weeks.
On the evening before the wedding, the girl said goodbye to her girlhood and her friends. She gave her friends a gift . Usually they gave away elegant girlish jewelry as a sign of transition to a new status. After marriage, the young woman will have new jewelry with feminine protective signs that will help give birth to healthy children.
Extending the term
Postponement of the wedding to a later date is also possible if there are valid reasons. The civil registry office to which the couple submitted the application may increase the monthly period, but not more than by another month. That is, the total period from the date of filing the application to the wedding can be 2 months.
If the application was submitted 2 months in advance (through government services or due to a queue at the registry office), then it will no longer be possible to postpone the wedding to a later date.
What reasons may the registry office consider valid in this case? Current legislation, as in the case of reducing the term, does not contain a complete list of such grounds. As a rule, we are talking about reasons that make marriage on the appointed date difficult or impossible for a young couple.
Example. Vera and Oleg submitted an application to the registry office on April 28, 2020. The wedding date was set for June 3. While roller skating, on May 14, Vera fell and broke her arm. She was put in plaster, presumably for 3 weeks, until June 5th. In such a situation, future newlyweds may ask to postpone the wedding date to a later period - until June 27 inclusive.
There are often situations when a circumstance due to which the wedding date is postponed makes it difficult for one of the future spouses to even submit an application (for example, the groom has already left on a business trip). As in the case of an application for marriage, the expression of will of persons entering into marriage can be formalized in separate statements if the signature is notarized (except for the case when the application is submitted through the public services portal). In addition, the Federal Law “On Civil Status Acts” provides for the option of registering a marriage at home, in a medical or other organization due to a serious illness of a person or for another valid reason.
The best day?
Also, speaking about the wedding, I would like to note the great desire of the young people and their families to assert themselves. This is generally one of the main pillars on which the entire consumer industry is based. No worse than Masha, Dasha, Pasha. Don't lose face. Don't seem like a poor person. Even if you then have to pay off an extortionate loan. Celebrate so that you will remember for the rest of your life, “You only live once!”
Besides, this is the happiest day in a girl’s life. Who said? Exactly? What kind of prejudices? A wedding is, first of all, a responsible and exciting step.
This is also an event that requires a lot of preparation and organizational work. I did, I know. And in my work, for example, I perceive events as an inevitable evil. Because even if it’s a corporate event, all creative concepts will be reduced to a standard set of circus acts, not everyone will like the food, and there will be few satisfied people.
But even if it is a personal holiday, it is still an organization. This is understanding the budget and creating estimates. For details about what the estimate for my wedding consisted of, see the post “Frugal Wedding: Personal Experience.” This is cutting fat and eliminating unnecessary expenses. Planning the timing of the wedding event. Selection and control of contractors. To ensure that the carriage was served on time, the waiters cleared away the dishes, and the music and lighting equipment worked. This includes the distribution of responsible persons into blocks, provisions for force majeure, and seating arrangements in the hall. This is escorting VIP guests, and it doesn’t matter whether it’s the president or a great-grandmother from the outback who came to the wedding.
I have no doubt that rituals are needed. And you shouldn’t neglect a wedding as one of the most important stages in life. Family history and shared memories are very important to me. But I doubt that it should be the way the media presents it to us. Or the way her parents, friends, and society see her. Because every new family is unique. And although I personally am all for an exquisite white dress, a talented photographer, delicious food and the beautiful interiors of the registry office, what worries me most when preparing for this event is who I will find myself in these interiors with. Not only on a specific wedding day, but many summers of your life later. And also for separating your dreams from wedding stereotypes and prejudices. To write the history of your own family yourself.
Tearing or staining a wedding dress is a bad sign.

Be kind!
The origins will be accepted.
The word “signs” speaks for itself and indicates that something has been noticed by someone. And what is noticed can be either a simple coincidence or a certain pattern.
Upon closer examination, many folk signs that go back centuries have a pragmatic and practical explanation.
1. Signs that indicate shortcomings in economic skills and material security.
2. Signs related to agricultural work (usually related to the time of weddings.
3. Signs that protect comfort and health.
A wedding is the most important event in life. From ancient times to the present day, great importance has been attached to everything connected with this significant day. For centuries, people have had the opinion that “remaining a girl” is one of the greatest misfortunes in the family. Let us remember that in the old days village families were distinguished by having many children. It was not easy to feed a large family, and a daughter who did not marry remained with her parents and was considered an “extra mouth.” That is why many bad omens are associated with an unsuccessful marriage for a girl.
Being superstitious is a bad omen.
It should be noted that women are more emotional and superstitious by nature. This explains the special interest of brides in observing traditions. The fear that some unforeseen reason may interfere with the most important event in life forces poor people to pay attention to all sorts of little things, sometimes even to the detriment of the main thing. By the way, blindly trusting all sorts of prejudices is really not far from disaster. Firstly, by thinking about the bad, you are thereby programming yourself for a bad turn of events, and secondly, you can actually scare away your chosen one with negative emotions and constant lamentations in anticipation of misfortune. Nothing can harm family life more than whining and imagining the future in dark colors.
To believe or not to believe?
So, many signs originate from folk life, while others are somewhat ironic in nature.
For example, a sign that a girl should not sit on the windowsill. The girl sits, looking out the window and looking out for suitors, while she could be doing housework. A sure sign of laziness! And lazy housewives were reluctant to marry. The same applies to the promise of a drunkard husband, if a girl’s apron often gets wet on her stomach, or if a girl brushes crumbs off the table with her hand, the husband will be bald, and if he sweeps the floor, leaving behind the garbage, he will have a pockmarked husband. Because lazy and sloppy housewives are left with “defective” grooms, often with physical defects. After all, good guys choose hardworking and thrifty wives.
You can’t look in the mirror in full wedding attire!
Dropping an object at a wedding (ring...) has a simple explanation: “what fell is lost.” If he dropped it, it means he’s a bungler. And an absent-minded housewife may even miss her husband. And in general, dropping something is bad. You might not find it, you might get it dirty in the end. And what is bad in itself creates a bad omen. But we know that incorrect movements, when everything falls out of hand, are the result of ordinary excitement, and have nothing to do with anything bad. By the way, wedding rings are often bought “for growth” in anticipation of a long life. And if the ring is too big, it can easily slip off your finger...
If the wedding dress is dirty or torn, these are signs that promise an evil mother-in-law. Mothers-in-law don't like awkward daughters-in-law! In general, mothers-in-law often consider their daughters-in-law unworthy of their sons - so they get angry...
Sitting on the corner of the table means not getting married. Previously, they used to put poor relatives and homeless women on the corner. And grooms tried to avoid such people...
Many signs regarding the choice of month for marriage are closely related to the cycle of agricultural work. The harvest is over - it's time for the wedding to play. Therefore, the ideal time for weddings was considered “Indian summer”, and Maslenitsa, after which Lent began, or Red Hill, because after that plowing and sowing began. If any of the young people stumbled at the entrance to the registry office, it means they are unsure of their choice. I stumbled due to absent-mindedness, and one of the reasons for inattention at such a moment is thoughtfulness. Is thoughtfulness caused by doubts?
Some signs generally contradict each other. For example: after the ransom, the bride and groom are pinned with pins so that no one can pass between them, and they must go to the registry office in different cars...
Here are a few practical signs: the bride has old shoes on her feet - a sign of a successful marriage. New shoes are known to quickly chafe your feet. To prevent the bride from feeling discomfort, shoes should be broken in before the wedding. The toe or heel of the shoe is open - happiness will flow away. An open leg, of course, will lead to a cold. And my husband needs a healthy wife...
The shorter the dress, the shorter the marriage. In the old days, a short dress was associated with a lack of fabric, and as a result, with poverty. Marriage without a dowry was not encouraged.
The groom must carry the bride across the threshold in his arms - then he will be “carried in his arms” for the rest of his life. Firstly, if the bride stumbles over the threshold, it’s a bad sign; secondly, if she picks her up, it means she loves and appreciates her, and there is hope that this will last a lifetime. For a guy to sit on the doorstep - not to get married. The threshold is a place where there are drafts. If the most precious thing catches a cold, he will be left without a wife.
Love each other!
In a word, signs are signs, but in life everything is not so simple. So, believe only in positive signs, be positive, and nothing will happen to you! And of course, the most important and surest happy omen is marriage between people who love each other!

Rules for postponing a wedding at the registry office
If the wedding is postponed, you must notify the registry office where the application was written. In the future, at the time planned by the couple, they will be able to register the relationship of another couple in love.
An application for wedding dates will have to be written in any case. There are several options for rescheduling your wedding date:
You can postpone the registration day by several days, but not more than a month; - you can set another day if all the matters that prevent you from registering the marriage are not completed within a month; - you can register the relationship in the hospital or at home, if there are reasons for it.
You can only transfer for one month without paying a fee. If more time is needed, you will have to re-submit the application and re-pay the state fee.
Nothing personal, just a wedding
I doubt that a wedding, according to all canons, is the key to a happy family life. But I certainly have no doubt that transnational corporations have contributed to the cult of wedding consumption, I’m not afraid of this word, consumerism. This thought can safely be considered a continuation of the post “Think, doubt, check.”
And, to tell the truth, I don’t even have time to follow all the wedding trends and stereotypes that are growing exponentially. If a marriage proposal, then certainly in a kneeling position, with a diamond ring. An engagement ring is not enough for this purpose; an engagement ring is needed (long live the rise in jewelry sales!). The proposal itself should take place in a restaurant, and the wedding night should certainly be in a hotel with a jacuzzi and champagne. Because you can’t just go home, take the pins out of your hair and cynically count the money donated and spent on the wedding.
Nowadays, one bouquet for the bride is also not enough; she needs a double bouquet, which she will throw at the people and keep hers for herself. One wedding photo shoot is not enough, you also need a love story. There’s nothing to discuss about the video – it’s a must have. It’s just that a wedding dress is not enough, the bride should be different - give her a second dress! And the wedding itself won’t be enough - we need a bachelor party, a bachelorette party, and one on a grand scale and champagne flowing. So, hanging out at the wedding itself isn’t enough? Although I personally think the tradition is dubious, in which men order strippers and call girls on the eve of the wedding, and the bride and her girlfriends have a blast in the bar like it’s the last time.
Of course, I'm exaggerating. And of course, there is a need for a second dress if the wedding lasts two days and is in the countryside. And it’s nice to get a second ring. It’s just that in this whole story I’m depressed by the wedding stereotypes and prejudices that swarm with cockroaches in movies, wedding magazines, and the Internet. I look and am horrified.
