Wedding Breeze

Deciding on the date to get married is definitely not a simple matter. Both families have to consent to it and it is best not to get any of your other relatives involved. A relative helped us to choose a wedding date, but after checking with my calendar, it was not a great day because of clashes with one of our parents? horoscope. Other dates were subsequently found, but the timing for marriage did not appear to be the best.

My mother hence wanted to check with a geomancer whether it was a good date, so there was some further waiting. It took some time before he got back to us. The best date was during a busy period and it was on a Monday, so my husband?s side rejected the date, saying their relatives would be unable to take leave. Another date coincided with one of the dates the relative got, so they wanted that, because they did not know how to tell that relative if we did not choose that date. However, this date was still on a Friday, which means that they would be working as well. I don?t see their logic. My mother said that the relatives could just have the tea ceremony at night.

A simple affair of choosing the auspicious date can turn out to be troublesome if both sides do not agree right from the start. Not wanting to hurt anyone?s feelings can turn out to be exasperating as well. To avoid any trouble, it would be best to consult someone who is well-respected in his or her field right from the start. At the same time, both parties should be careful with the choices of words used.?
