rain rain go away..but please come back on my wedding day!

Todays weather is so gloomy! This kinda weather always ruins everyone's day it seems like!

I figured since it was raining all day and everyone thinks rain is annoying and puts everyone in a not so happy mood, today would be a perfect time to talk about a superstition about if it rains on someones wedding day.

When it rains on your wedding day, its good luck!!!


It comes from many cultures, mainly from Hindu with the idea that a wet knot it harder to untie, since marriage is often known as tying the knot. Rain was also a symbol of fertility to agricultural societies, since rain restored and maintained the wellness of crops.Crops were peoples main source to stability and income so it was thought to guarantee a long and happy marriage!


so you may not like the rain now, but you will if it rains on your wedding day =)
