Why can't you get married in June?

Marriage Taboos

According to folk marriage taboos, people cannot get married in June, because the ancients believed that June was half of the year, and a bride in June was equal to half a bride, which is equivalent to having a beginning but no end, indicating that married couples are likely to become half-way couples after marriage. From a practical point of view, June is known as one of the hottest months of the year, which is not the best weather for weddings. Of course, the June mentioned here refers to the sixth month of the lunar calendar.

Wedding Day

Getting married is a major event in life, so you must choose an auspicious date in advance. The principle for choosing a date for marriage is to base it on the bride's date of birth, and take the groom's and other people's dates of birth into consideration. In addition, you must consider the actual situation of both families when choosing an "auspicious date", and make sure that both sides' elders and relatives and friends have time to attend and witness the festive and harmonious scene.

Other taboos

1. The third and seventh months of the lunar calendar are the months when ghosts are most likely to appear. It is not auspicious to get married in these special months, so try to avoid them.
2. Three days after the wedding, the groom accompanies the bride back to her parents' home, commonly known as "returning to the door". On the day of the return, they must return to her husband's house before sunset. If they are really late, the newlyweds can stay overnight at the bride's home. Remember not to share the same room, they must sleep separately, so as not to bring bad luck to her family.
3. In addition, it is best for the newlyweds not to spend the night outside, and they are prohibited from attending any weddings or funerals within four months of their marriage.
