Is it okay to get married on Chinese Valentine's Day in 2017?

General Overview

According to folk belief, it is not appropriate to get married on the Qixi Festival. There are several reasons why you can’t get married on the Qixi Festival:
1. Marriage is one of the great happy events in life, so we must definitely choose an auspicious day. The Chinese Valentine's Day falls on August 28, 2017 in the Gregorian calendar. According to the lunar calendar for that day, that day is not a good day for marriage and is not suitable for marriage.
2. As the ancients said, "Good things come in pairs." Therefore, in the traditional Chinese concept, marriage is a happy event in which a man and a woman come together as a pair. If it happens on an odd day, it means bad luck, and July 7 happens to be an odd day.
3. There is a saying about the origin of the Chinese Valentine's Day that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet on the Magpie Bridge on July 7 every year, so it symbolizes love. However, although the love between the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl is touching, their love is full of sadness and helplessness, and the ending is extremely sad. Therefore, the older generation is superstitious about getting married on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, and are very opposed to their children getting married on the Chinese Valentine's Day.

Auspicious day selection

1. The birth date of the bride is the main consideration, and the birth dates of the groom and others are also taken into consideration.
2. The auspicious date for marriage should not be the same as your parents’ birthday, but it is appropriate to get married within that month.
3. Avoid dates that are in conflict, conflict, or harm with your zodiac signs. The woman should also avoid months that are in conflict, conflict, or harm with her zodiac sign and the month of marriage.
4. It is best to avoid the third, seventh and ninth months of the lunar calendar as auspicious months, because these three months coincide with Qingming Festival, Yulan Festival and Chonggong Festival respectively, which are all traditional ghost festivals and were months for sacrifices in ancient times. Therefore, it is generally not appropriate to hold wedding ceremonies.
