They say when you marry in June...
... You will always be a bride.
Historically, June has been the
most popular month for getting
married. But July and even
October have begun to edge out
June as the most popular months
to tie the knot.
The June wedding tradition
may be traced back to the ancient
Romans. Romans honored Juno,
the goddess of marriage and
childbirth. The month of June was
named after her, so it is fitting that
weddings take place in her name-
sake month.
As centuries passed, June
remained a popular month to get
married. In the fifteenth century,
June weddings meant children
would be born close to or during
the following spring. This helped
assure youngsters’ survival dur-
ing the rough and often lean
months of winter.
Spring births would not conflict
with the autumn harvest, either.
Even when weddings began
shifting from pragmatic business
transactions to romantic affairs,
June remained popular. —Metro
