Have you been thinking about which month out of the year you would like to choose to hold your wedding? Many brides will choose a month depending on the weather, while some others will choose a month that is set out 12 or even 18 months from when they became engaged. Did you know that there are even some superstitions that a handful of brides still use to this day to help them choose which month that they should get married in?

When it comes to superstitions for which month to marry, the old Pagan adage comes to mind:

Married when the year is new, he'll be loving, kind & true,
When February birds do mate, You wed nor 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 & for Man.
Marry in the month of May, and you'll surely rue the day.
Marry when June roses grow, over land and sea you'll go.
Those who in July do wed, must labor for their daily bred.
Whoever wed in August be, many a change is sure to see
Marry in September's shrine, 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 joys will come, remember.
When December snows fall fast, marry and true love will last.

Looking at this makes me realize why I have been to so many September weddings.
