When it comes to weddings, the date assumes a lot of importance. Couples make a lot of efforts to arrive at an auspicious date for getting married. They spend days consulting numerologists, astrologers, friends, family members and relatives about that one date that they should get married on. They fear that if they get married on a ‘bad day’, they will face a lot of problems in their marital life in the future.
Certain months are considered to be auspicious to get married and then there are months that most couples steer clear of getting married in. Even couples who are not very religious or superstitious stay away from certain months because of several other factors based on logic and scientific reasoning. So, what is the least popular month to get married in?
As a general belief, December, January and February are considered to be the least popular months to get married in. Most couples avoid the cold of the winter season while fixing a date for their wedding. However, some couples do get married during winter to avail the attractive discounts that vendors offer during this off-season.

What’s the unluckiest month?
If Roman tradition is to be believed, May is the unluckiest month to get married in. This notion has stemmed from the fact that Lemuria, a festival that used to be held for mourning the death of an individual and honoring his legacy, was organized in May. Getting married during a month when you are supposed to mourn over the death of a person is considered to be a bad omen. Since 7 is considered to be an unlucky number in marriage, July is also seen as an unlucky month by many because of it being the seventh month in a year.
What is the unluckiest date?
Three occasions are considered to be unlucky for marriage. They are Super Bowl Sunday, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Super Bowl Sunday was on 7th February this year, Thanksgiving is on 25th November and Christmas is on 25th December. Next year, Super Bowl Sunday is on 13th February, Thanksgiving is on 24th November and Christmas, as always, is on 25th December.
If a particular date has proven to be unlucky for you on several occasions, you should avoid fixing it as your wedding date. My brother, for instance, finds August 17 to be an unlucky date for him and therefore decided not to get married on this particular date.
What are the dates you need to avoid while fixing a wedding date?
While fixing a date for your wedding, you have to take the sentiments and beliefs of your loved ones into account too. If a close relative has passed away in a particular year, it is advisable not to conduct your wedding the same year. It is also recommended to avoid organizing the wedding on a date which marks the birthday of the bride or the groom. Birthdays have a significance of their own and should not be mixed up with wedding dates.
How do you pick a lucky wedding date?
There are various ways in which you can pick a lucky wedding date. A lot of people prefer getting married in the Blind Year, the year that doesn’t feature the Beginning of Spring. A Blind Year is known to have many auspicious dates in it. 2021 is a Blind Year. The next Blind Year would be 2024. According to traditional folklore, the God of Marriage didn’t let Sanniang, a historical figure, get married. Because of this, it is believed that Sanniang disrupts the wedding of couples who chose to get married on lunar 3rd, 7th, 13rd, 18th, 22nd, and 27th of any month.
What is the cheapest month to get married?
November is the cheapest month to get married as winter is at its peak during this time and most people refrain from organizing weddings because of the inconvenience caused by the weather. Because of a limited number of weddings happening during the season, vendors offer a good amount of discount on the services they provide and the cost of getting a wedding organized goes down substantially. I have known many people who have braved the chills of November and got married during this month to save up on money.
Which month is lucky for marriage?
June, which happens to be the sixth month in a year, is considered to be very lucky for marriage. One of the primary reasons it is thought to be auspicious for marriage is because it gets its name from Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage. Juno is often referred to as the female counterpart of Roman God Jupiter and is held in a lot of reverence. I have had many friends who got married in June owing to this belief. April is also considered to be a good month to get married as it is closely associated with Venus, the Roman goddess of love, fertility and beauty.
Can I marry in my birth month?
Getting married in your birth month or some other month is a matter of personal preference. However, if you ask your astrologer whether you should be getting married in your birth month, his answer would be in negative. The reason behind this is the fact that astrologers, as a general rule, do not fix marriage dates for the bride and the groom in the month they have been born in.
What is the best date to get married?
The best date to get married is the one that you think is right for you. If you believe in astrology, you can consult an astrologer and ask him to fix a date for your wedding. If you go by conventional wisdom, December 31 is considered to be one of the best dates for getting married. December, as a month, is associated with celebration and positivity and 31st December has a lot of significance because of it signifying the end of a year and the beginning of another one.
If you have a spiritual bent of mind, you could consider getting married on February 20. ‘2-20-20XX’ is a date that would stick not only in your mind but also in the minds of your friends and relatives. You would also get the scope to create memorable signage and monogram around the date.
