Wedding superstitions and signs
Since the 2016 leap year is being replaced by 2017, many couples who were afraid to get married in such a difficult period from the point of view of superstitions will rush to get married in a year more favorable for these purposes.
However, according to many people who sincerely believe in superstitions, the year following a leap year is also not a happy year for a wedding. People believe that the year following a leap year is a widow's year. It is for this reason that many loving couples postpone the most important day in their lives.
But is it really necessary to wait an extra year to finally unite with your soulmate in front of your family, the state and, possibly, the church?

It is especially important at a wedding to show exceptional respect and respect to the parents of the bride and groom. And, in general, this solemn event - a wedding - should be strict and even prim in 2017. The wedding day should follow all the rules: the bride in a white dress, with the obligatory paraphernalia (veil, bridal bouquet, etc.), the groom in a classic suit, with a boutonniere in the breast pocket of his jacket and many guests at the wedding feast.
Witnesses will also have to work hard to ensure that the wedding is fun and playful, the way it should be in its brightest understanding.

- Wednesdays;
- Fridays.
The Church prohibits organizing celebrations and... In the coming year it is: in February - the 18th, in March - 11, 18, 25, in April - 25, in May - 9, in June - 3, in November - 4.
If we take into account all the prohibitions, then there remains a very short period of favorable days for a wedding in 2017 according to the church calendar, but such periods still exist.
So, according to church canons, the most successful days for marriage are:
- end of January (from 20th to 31st);
- all of February (except the 27th, 28th);
- April 7 and 9;
- May 8;
- all September;
- all October;
- from November 1 to November 28.
Which months are best for marriage?
According to folk wisdom and according to the experience that has come down to us from our ancestors, the best months for marriage are: February (which, by the way, coincides with the church calendar), June, August, September (also coincides with church rules) and December.
A wedding played in the spring, especially in May, promises difficulties and ordeals. Marriages entered into in January, October and March will also not be easy. The April union will be extremely unstable, and the November one will bring prosperity, but not love. Thus, if you follow church principles, guided by the choice of a successful month, then the most successful months will be February and September.
What day is better to have a wedding?
The day of the week also plays a big role important role in the life of a young couple. For example, marriages are rarely celebrated on Monday, but in vain. This day is under the protection of the Moon, and it, in turn, promotes the development of warmth and tenderness in relationships between young people. Tuesday is an unfavorable day. He is patronized by the aggressive and cruel Mars.
But Wednesday is very successful for marriage; Mercury, the patron of the day, encourages favorable communication and smoothing out all conflicts. However, as stated above, Wednesday in the coming year is not suitable for marriage, according to church canons. Thursday is an unfavorable day, it is patronized by Jupiter; nothing good awaits those who get married on this day, only conflicts. Friday is considered a lucky day, but not in 2017. But Saturday, under the auspices of Saturn, will give the marriage stability and the ability to compromise.
Sunday, although not the most popular day for a wedding, is quite good. It is patronized by the Sun itself, which promotes mutual understanding.
So, choosing favorable days for a wedding in 2017 according to the church calendar will not be difficult. After all, the church calendar is of great importance for true believers. According to the recommendations of the church, the main events in the life of parishioners are held. You should not deviate from traditions and abandon the heritage of your ancestors.
