Monsoon Wedding "Did it rain on your big day?"

***There is an old saying that rain on your wedding day is a lucky omen. Since many brides often opt for outdoor weddings in major cities of Pakistan, they are always worried about the weather. I would like to know whether it did rain on anyone’s wedding or any other major event. How did you cope with it, if it did rain?

If you don’t have any experience regarding this then please share a few rain on wedding day sayings.

Like:

The Italians have a saying, “Sposa bagnata, sposa fortunata”, which means that a wet bride is a lucky bride. :smiley: ***

I heard a saying related to this recently, that if a girl eats the leftovers from a handi, then it will rain a lot on her wedding day!

I also heard that this..infact my nani always say this ..

I got married in January, in canada, and I was scared to death of heavy snow or bad weather...but I was fortunate , as it rained just a little bit but not alot..

I have heard that the reason rain is lucky on your wedding is because, the saying goes that you are "tying the knot" on your wedding day. If it rains, your "knot" will be wet, and a wet knot is harder to untie than a dry knot.

Many cultures subscribe to the belief that rain on your wedding day is good luck. Why? Rain was viewed a symbol of fertility in agricultural societies because it restored and maintained the wellness of crops. And in these societies, crops were the main source of stability and income so, it was thought than rain on your wedding day was a guarantee of a long and happy marriage.
