Fortune-telling for marriage
On Pokrov (October 14) and on Christmastide, the bride released a chicken or a rooster (or rather) and laid out coins, bread, coal, water and chips in front of the bird. With a sinking heart, the young women watched what the COCK would approach. Well, if he bites a coin, the marriage will be satisfying and rich. If bread is also good, average income is good. To coal, it's a pity, but what to do, such is fate - to be poor in marriage, the need to know. Comes to the water - ay, the husband will be a drunkard. And if suddenly the rooster chooses a chip, it's very bad, to death.
They also took a hen from the roost and laid out rings in front of it: copper, silver and gold. It is clear that a gold ring is a good husband, a silver ring is a normal life, average income. And copper - life will be unenviable, poor.
On the same Christmastide, the girls went out late at night in a wood shed and, in complete darkness, took the first log they came across from a woodpile. And at home they were attentively examined in the light. The one who has a smooth log without knots is a lucky woman, her husband will be kind and friendly. And if there are cracks and knots on the log, then there were already tears - the husband will be angry and bad.
And they also did this: from wax candles they sculpted swans - a swan and a swan, a swan was painted with blush. They poured water into a large cup and let the steam there, and covered it with a handkerchief. Before going to bed, we looked at the swans. If they swim together, married life will be wonderful, the husband will love and groom his wife, there will be peace and harmony in the house. And if they swim in different directions, alas, there will be quarrels and scandals, enmity in the house.
On Christmastide, and sometimes on the eve before the wedding, the young bride went out into the street to listen to conversations under other people's windows. And the very first window told her about marriage: if there were swearing, scandalous, then married life would be unsuccessful, but if there was fun, laughter, singing, life would be cheerful and happy.
Signs of matchmaking
According to our ancestors, Thursday was considered the best day for matchmaking.
One of the key figures in the events and ceremonies of the pre-wedding period, as well as in the ritual of the wedding itself, is the matchmaker. As a rule, it should be a person over 40 years old, with a family and children, with the appropriate public authority, able to manage the course of events and maintain the necessary rhythm of festive action.
They do not take a divorced person, a man who has no children, as a matchmaker.
Entering the house of the bride's parents, the matchmaker knocked three times with the heel of his left foot on the threshold and quietly said: "They are silent (meaning the ancestors of the owners of the house) and you are silent, do not say a word against."
When you go to your future daughter-in-law, let your son come in first.
Guests do not take off the hat in front of her parents until they are seated at the table.
If one of the matchmakers manages to take a spoon out of the bride's house, then the son will be the master in the house and his wife will never leave him. Three months after their wedding, the spoon should be thrown into the bride's house.
To refuse the groom, the girl just needs to give him a knife.
If the first groom comes to woo a girl, the socks of his shoes must be washed with water. Then the girl should wash herself with this water, wash her hands, saying: "A hundred suitors will follow your trail." Or cover his tracks to the house with a broom with the same conspiracy.
Signs to choose from witnesses (matchmakers, best man, boyfriends, bridesmaids)
Misfortune will befall a young couple, who announces their upcoming marriage at the end of one quarter of the year and gets married at the beginning of the next.
Friends, best men or honorary witnesses are chosen from among the closest friends.
Such an honorable role at a wedding can only be played once in a lifetime in order to create your family in a timely manner, otherwise you can harm yourself - remain best man forever.
When tying towels to matchmakers or pinning flowers to honorary witnesses, remember that clothes for women are fastened on the left side, for men - on the right. Therefore, the towel is tied to the matchmaker over the left shoulder under the right arm, and the suit, on the contrary, is tied over the right shoulder under the left arm. Flowers are also attached to honorary witnesses in a corresponding way: for a guy on the right side, for a girl on the left.
The most honored guests at the wedding should be the godparents of the bride and groom, as well as grandparents. These people are a kind of security certificate for a wedding celebration. If for some reason (death, live in another city, etc.) they cannot attend the wedding, then the day before they should go to church, put candles (for peace or for health) and pray for them.
If one of the parents of the groom or the bride has died, if the parents are divorced, i.e. at the time of the wedding, they are not a married couple, then the folk tradition forbids them to participate in the wedding ceremony and as the most important ritual ranks. In their place, planted parents are chosen - a prosperous married couple with their own children. They are chosen from the circle of relatives or close friends. They send the young people down the aisle and meet them after the wedding.
Signs for a bachelorette party
There is an old belief that a bride needs to cry on a bachelorette party and before the wedding - “You don’t cry at the table, you will cry at the pillar,” that is, after the wedding you will shed tears in an unhappy marriage.
At a bachelorette party, the bride is given to wash with a slate of beer:
"How pure you are, golden-silver,
Clean and decent
As on you, gold-silver,
Everyone is buried, peering,
Old and young, married and single,
Old old women and young young women,
Beautiful girls and young fellows,
So if you, slave ... (name),
All were buried and looked
It would seem to them gold and silver.
Would have looked and would have looked
They would not take their eyes off you. "
When a bachelorette party takes place, the bride's brother or some boy in the groom's house puts the groom's gifts and brings them to the bride.
The same boy must put shoes on the bride for the crown.
Before going to the wedding, the bride, who wants her sisters to get married faster, should lightly pull on the tablecloth that covers the table.
The life of a girl that goes without hassle and problems is, of course, very good! However, over time, this course of events can get bored. Many representatives of the fair sex have a strong desire to try on a wedding dress and put the coveted ring on their finger.
