The first month of the lunar year is January, which is the starting month of the year. Some old farmers believe that a wife married at this time will be more ostentatious and like to take the lead in everything. Her high-profile behavior may easily attract gossip from neighbors, and her husband will feel uncomfortable if he hears it unintentionally. Therefore, the first month of the lunar year is not a good day to get married, and women are reluctant to get married at this time to avoid being gossiped about in the future.

【No Marriage in the Twelfth Month】

People don't get engaged in the twelfth lunar month because it's the end of the year, when everything is about to come to an end.

In addition, the twelfth lunar month is the coldest time of the year, when everything is grim and lifeless, so getting engaged at this time would obviously be inappropriate.

It is very annoying to hold a wedding at this time, and it will waste other people's time.
