What makes women wanted to be a June bride?

This is something seen in a lot of cultures, and it usually related to the summer solstice-- the longest day of the year, and considered to be the most fertile day in cultures that were earth religion based. If you got married and pregnant in June, you'd have the baby in March, or so-- so you carry through the winter when the workload is less, be up and moving for spring planting, and your baby would be relatively fat before winter. This schedule works out for both the available food supply and lunar/solar based agricultural societies. by the same token, trees are supposed to be pruned on the winter solstice, and transplanted then as well-- because they are fully dormant at that time, and the chance of injuring them or them getting diseases from pruning is the lowest. When you farm, as I do, it works. Most brides don't realize where the June wedding came from, but if you happen to study Celtic religions, or any of the other pagan/nature based religions, you'll see it all the time.

I think that it is more one of those notions of traditional sentiment. If you want an outdoor wedding I would say that in a lot of place June would make for a nice time of the year. Maybe more than that too if you live in a cold region, June would be a month with warm nice weather. I live in Arizona and truthfully I do not think that I would want to be a June bride. I have thought maybe December would make a nice time to get married. I want the very traditional ball gown type of dress. Honestly, I could not envision getting married in June when the Mercury rise to .110+. Thmateen again, I could also imagine that for some that live in cold climates that could be plagued by snow in December they would probably vote for a June wedding. I think that perhaps the weather and climate where you live may factor into it.se For some they will chose to get married on the anniversary of when they met. I know my sister chose to do this when she married her husband. They got married in July. She was pretty lucky that was one of the rare summers where it did not hit over 100 degrees until the middle of July. There wedding was the first week of July; although, she panicked due to the weather raining the night before it cleared up nicely before their wedding. She should have anticipated rain. We could always predict the rain when they were dating. If they went out, it seemed like they would always get rained on. It drove my sister crazy, but the rest of us kind of thought it was funny. You see my sister is one of those with hair all done up that hates it when it rains because she frets about her hair getting messed up.

I think they would like to get married in June, as at least in Europe, the USA and Canada, it is Spring, so the weather is usually warm and very nice! The date one picks is a matter of luck, i suppose, so it could also be very cold, like it was in my wedding! I got married in Austria and it was -11° when I got married!!

Well, I wasn't married in June, I was married in July. However, I do have some reasons that I think that women desire to get married in June. 1. There are many flowers that are in season at this time, making those flowers less expensive. 2. The weather is warm in June, but not too hot. 3. June is vacation season so family members and friends are more likely to be able to travel for a wedding.

Hi, Shavkat! I also got married in June. I really didn't have another month in mind that time but to have it on that particular month. However, I came across this through the internet. I think this clearly explains how June was linked to having most weddings in a year. http://droherphd.com/blog/the-history-of-june-weddings/

if here in my country, there is many people married in june because we have 2 week school holiday end of may until early of june. so they will grab this opportunities to get married because it easy, so that your relative that live far can come to celebrate you

There is really nothing magical about getting married in June. Mostly I think the tradition came from the fact that the school year usually ends in June and then starts back in the fall. A lot of women would marry in June after they graduated from school. Thus tradition was born and then marketers got ahold of the idea and it suddenly became a bid deal to get married in June. The retailers could discount their wedding attire in the spring and make a lot of sales in anticipation of June weddings.

After reading your discussion, I quickly thought, my marriage was also in June. But we never planned like that, it happened. In our native place marriages are very rare in the month of June. The reason is monsoon season in this month so most of the people opt out the month June and July for marriages. I remember there was heavy rain in our marriage too. In India, June is not a special month to get marry anyway.

I would imagine this to be a popular month because it is warm and a tradition. I don't see anything wrong with a Summer wedding. Winter weddings are fine, but they most certainly would have to be held indoors. I think June weddings are great for one who likes to have options. In June, if the couple would like, they can consider a wedding outside.

Thanks for this discussion. I was married in December 1966, here our astrologers fix the marriage dates based upon the birth data of the bride and groom,

hi, that month is month of rainy season here in our country and even me don't know the reason about that,but in my province they usually used the month of March and April for wedding because they said that its a good luck for the couple and they will have a good wealth in life.

I'd never thought of it in any detail and your question has evoked some very interesting replies. I always supposed that it was because June is a warm month, and one less likely to be wet in my country, and the roses are in bloom and roses are particularly prevalent in wedding bouquets. Basically though women like to get married and any time of the year suits them when the opportunity arises.

i used to have the same question. then my friend told me the reason. according to her it has something to do with the Roman deity named Juno. if you want to do more research please feel free to use the search engine.

I think June brides are only popular for Caucasians. Maybe its because of the weather,

Here marriages takes place anytime from January to December. It all depends on the readiness of both parties. But some superstitious people would seek the advice of the elders to fix their wedding date. I personally have no idea why there is such thing as June bride.

I have read that couples often married in June so they could time the conception of their first child. This way, the wife wouldn't be too far along in her pregnancy to perform the manual labor required during harvest time. And Juno was the Roman god of marriage. I think it is because that is when the blossoms are in bloom and alot of women like to use them to decorate their wedding chapel. And many women have done it in June so it has become a tradition.

I think a June Bride picks this month due to the beginning of summer and having better odds that your day will be nice weather wise. However I believe like you get married when the right time comes for both you and your better half. I just know I would never want to get married in the bitter cold weather. I think anything between April and September can be nice for anyone.

if you live in a place with 4 seasons, june is the month when it is the warmest and beautiful weather, also considering school is out, everyone will be able to attend and witness.

Here among Hindus date of marriage is decided basing upon name, time, place of birth of both gal and boy; if you see our almanac you find various dates, from that one is to be selected based upon the data as i said, there are certain months where you wont find any date for marriage i was married in December 1966, weather is cool, pleasnt, vegetables are cheap

I am not a June bride. All I can think of is that is usually a time when kids are out of school, people can take vacations, and the weather is beautiful, so that would be my call on why some people pick the warmer months. Other then that I have no clue.
