Wedding is a very important event in the life of every young couple. How to do everything so that the celebration goes like clockwork, without excesses and surprises? Wedding signs and customs will help in this.

Bride price

The ransom of the bride is one of the most famous wedding ceremonies today, which is still observed. In the modern world, it has acquired a purely symbolic meaning, but earlier, in the old days, brides were really redeemed from their parents and even the whole family. Everything was suitable for this: money, food, clothes, household items. Depending on the time of the year, the brides either went up in price or went down in price. What is still relevant in this rite today? The groom still loses small money or gifts to the bride's family in competitions. No one has also canceled the bride's singing, which should be attended by all the youth invited to the wedding; there was also the beating of fathers on the hands - this is how the deal of handing over the bride into new hands - father-in-law and mother-in-law is sealed; and, of course, the union of the bride and groom by joining their hands.

Sprinklingtracks

Modern wedding omens and customs also involve sprinkling the path along which the bride leaves the bride's house with cereals, sweets, small money. This is done so that the newly-made family does not lack anything: neither in food, nor in the sweet life, nor in material goods. Good luck will be brought by a coin or candy picked up after young people have walked on them.

Signs: marriage time

Many people still try to observe all wedding signs and customs. Why is this happening? Probably so, just in case, because who knows if it works or not. So, according to our signs, young people are not advised to marry in May, otherwise they will toil all their lives. The same sign also exists among the Greeks and Italians. It is best to marry in the fall or at the end of August, immediately after the main posts. Russian wedding rites and customs also say that if it rains or snows on the wedding day, the young family will definitely be lucky.

Signs: outfits

Wedding omens and customs also apply to the outfits of the young. So, in all countries it is known that it is considered a bad sign to see the groom his beloved in a wedding dress before the wedding. In some cases, the bride herself even tries not to look at herself in the mirror completely; this can be done without any one accessory, for example, without one glove. These signs should protect the young from evil forces.

Rings

Very importantAn engagement ring is considered an attribute of every wedding. 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 even, without any patterns, pebbles and meanders, then the road of a young family will be smooth. It was considered bad luck 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 peoples suggest doing the following manipulations with the ring that was presented by the groom for betrothal: you need to thread the bride's hair into it and set it on fire. It is believed that the marriage contract will be very successful.
