The groom only picked it up later at the store. But at that time I had an exclusive bouquet, which I happily kept as a keepsake. Or it could have been with flowers inappropriate for the ceremony.”
“We bought the dress with my mother, the groom did not see it. We went through the entire ransom ceremony. I crossed seven bridges on my wedding day. Everyone tried to do the right thing. And it even started to rain on the wedding day. But none of the signs succeeded in influencing a long married life.”

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.
Outdated wedding superstitions
Modern newlyweds want to be free and easy, not dependent on prejudices imposed by the older generation. After all, when preparing for a wedding, a couple already has enough worries. There is too much to do and control. Why complicate an already stressful period with additional unnecessary prejudices? We have collected in this article myths that young couples can ignore in preparation for their wedding celebration.
You can't get married on a leap year
The fear of getting married on a leap year is firmly in people's minds. One extra day a year completely negates the possibility of a successful marriage. How is this possible? Let's think about whether you should be afraid of a wedding in a leap year if you have planned one.
We invite you to think about how much prejudice might affect you, and whether you yourself would be concerned. If not, and your relatives and the public are putting pressure on you, then don’t pay attention, dispel one of the most important wedding myths and do as only you want.

There are still a lot fewer weddings in May, and most wedding specialists and venues will be happy to work with you. May has perfect weather. Not a single month of the year can boast of such a fragrance of blossoming nature, colors and lack of heat.
You can't spend the night together before the wedding
It has long been customary that, even if a couple lives together, they must spend the last night before the wedding separately from each other. In modern realities, this myth is definitely outdated.

Don't blindly agree with the opinions of others
If one of the relatives, even the closest ones, insists on postponing the wedding for biased reasons, and the couple themselves are happy with everything, it is undesirable to succumb to this pressure.
Parents, for example, may not like their child's choice, leading them to hope that the wedding will be canceled on its own, and when this does not happen, mom and dad ask for a postponement. If there are no compelling reasons, it is better not to do this.
If the newlyweds themselves are afraid, they cannot stand the holiday
If the newlyweds themselves want to postpone their wedding due to sudden doubts or fears, they should not follow the signs. The best solution in this case is to calmly talk with your other half and sort out your feelings. As a result, the person will either calm down and agree to have the wedding on the appointed day, or he will understand that he does not want it at all, no matter how sad it may be.
Important!
Remember that no sign can save a marriage built without love. Discord in relationships does not happen because of bad omens, but due to other reasons. For example, lack of mutual understanding.
