Today, there are truly no "rules" for weddings—anything and everything goes, as long as it brings you happiness as a couple. That said, there is a reason why time-honored traditions have been mainstays of wedding days for so long: They’re guidelines that so many generations before you have indulged, historically, so it feels kind of fun to entertain them at your own wedding celebration, right? The best thing about modern-day weddings, though, is that you can pick and choose which customs and conventions you want to embrace or dismiss. Not wearing white, skipping the veil, sneaking a peek at your spouse before the ceremony—it can all be done without repercussions.

Whether you consider yourself superstitious or not, you might still want to take a look at these time-honored bits of folklore. Keep in mind, of course, that they are just that—folklore! Ahead, read up on some of the longest-standing wedding superstitions that go well beyond something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.

May it permeate your being and fill every inch of your heart, lifting you up when you're down and infusing your spirit with an undeniable zest for life. I curse you with the ability to find joy even in the face of adversity. May you possess the strength to weather any storm, knowing that joy can be found even in the most trying of times.

Getting married on a weekday.

While Saturdays have long been the most popular days to get married for decades, an ancient Celtic poem claims couples should avoid a Saturday wedding at all costs. It reads: “Monday for wealth, Tuesday for health, Wednesday the best day of all, Thursday for losses, Friday for crosses, and Saturday no luck at all." So, if a Saturday nuptials isn’t in the cards, then a weekday wedding is quite alright!

May it enhance your resilience and empower you to rise above any challenges that come your way. May joy be your constant companion, adding color to your days and making the world a little brighter wherever you go. May it bring a smile to your face and a skip to your step, reminding you to savor every moment and cherish the blessings that surround you. I curse you with joy, not just for your own sake, but for the sake of those around you. May your joy be infectious, spreading like wildfire and touching the lives of all those you encounter. May it inspire others to find their own happiness and create a ripple effect of joy and positivity in this world. So may this curse of joy be upon you, a blessing in disguise, a gift that keeps on giving. May it fill your life with love, laughter, and boundless happiness. May it be your guiding light, your constant source of strength, and your greatest companion on this journey we call life..
