Is it a good idea to get married on Halloween 2017? Halloween in the West is coming soon. For friends who are planning to get married on this day, let’s take a look at whether this day is a good day to get married.

Is it okay to get married on Halloween 2017?

General Overview

Halloween 2017 is not a good day to get married.
1. Halloween 2017 is on November 1st of the Gregorian calendar. According to the almanac for that day, it is "unfavorable for everything". The so-called "unfavorable for everything" means that it is not suitable for major events such as getting married, opening a business, traveling far away, starting work, moving into new homes, etc.
2. Halloween is the Ghost Festival in the West. People in Western countries attach great importance to Halloween. To celebrate the arrival of Halloween, children will dress up as various cute ghosts and knock on doors from house to house, asking for candy, otherwise they will play tricks.
3. Halloween is not a Chinese holiday, so we don’t need to consider whether getting married on Halloween will have an impact on us. Instead, we should carefully choose an auspicious wedding date based on the lunar calendar, the birth dates of both the man and the woman, and the birth dates of their parents.
Fourth, in the traditional Chinese concept, marriage is a happy event for a man and a woman to get together. If it is held on an odd day, it means bad luck. November 1st happens to be an odd day, so it is not suitable to hold a wedding on this day.

Auspicious day selection

1. Principles of choosing a date: The main one is based on the bride's date of birth, and the birth dates of the groom and others are also taken into consideration. As the saying goes, "Boys depend on the year of their birth, and girls depend on the year of their marriage."
2. Do not choose the birthday of parents: In traditional customs, the wedding date cannot conflict with the birthday of parents, but it is okay to get married within that month.
3. Avoid the 3rd, 7th and 9th months: Try to avoid March, July and September of the lunar calendar, as these three months coincide with the "Qingming Festival", "Yulan Festival" and "Chonggong Festival" respectively, which are all traditional "Ghost Festivals" and are not suitable for holding weddings.
4. The actual wedding day: If you decide to separate the registration date and the wedding ceremony date, it is best to choose auspicious days for both days. If you have to make a choice, you should base it on the day of the traditional wedding reception and banquet, and choose an auspicious day, because Chinese tradition always regards this day as the real auspicious day for marriage.
