When February birds do mate, you may wed or dread your fate
If you wed when March winds blow, joy and sorrow both you'll know
Marry in April when you can, joy for maiden and for man
Marry in the month of May, you will surely rue the day
Marry when June roses blow, over land and sea you'll go
They who in July do wed, must labour always for their bread
Whoever wed in August be, many a change are sure to see
Marry in September's shine, your living will be rich and fine
If in October you do marry, love will come, but riches tarry
If you wed in bleak November, only joy will come, remember
When December snows fall fast, marry and true love will last
May was considered unlucky because that is when the romans celebrated
the "fest of the dead" and the festival celebrating the goddess
of chastity. In june, the ancient Greeks and Romans celebrated Juno, the
goddess of love and marriage; this may be one reason why June weddings
are seen as lucky and are so popular.
The Victorians believed it was lucky to marry on a day during the week the groom was born, or even better, on his birthday.
It is supposed to be good luck to wed when the moon is waxing, not waning.
There are even superstitions
as to what time you should marry: Having your wedding when the hour of
the clock is going upwards (after the half hour) is supposed to be lucky.
