July is the hottest and sultriest month of the year. Not only the air is heating up, but also the feelings of the lovers. The desire to tie in your destiny in the middle of the year is dictated by nature itself and the stars. After all, it is not without reason that it is believed that it is July that is able to put all the dots in place and be able to answer many burning questions. But in addition to the philosophical background, July is rich in other karmic signs and folk signs that tell the young how their future together will turn out. This is an ambiguous month for weddings. Therefore, when choosing July for painting, you will have to ask which days are favorable, and what folk signs and the church calendar say about them.
How to choose the best day for a wedding in July
A July wedding is considered a classic. After all, so many couples prefer painting this month.
Some people like the opportunity to hold a festive celebration outdoors. Some people choose July to go on a honeymoon to the sea immediately after the wedding.
And, definitely, July is the ideal time to bring your wildest wedding ideas to life.
After all, you don’t need to hide from the piercing wind, provide up to 5 outfit options, not knowing what vagaries the weather will bring on the day of painting. And the rich selection of flowers, berries, and vegetables in July play an important role when choosing the time for a wedding.
Despite all its advantages, a June wedding has a number of features that must be taken into account when preparing.
But we start preparing, as usual, by choosing a suitable date. And here there may be a radically different approach. It all depends on the views and priorities of the young. And sometimes the opinion of relatives plays an important role when making such an important decision.
If you delve into all the folk, church, lunar, zodiac, numerological and other wedding calendars, then there will only be one or two dates left that will satisfy all the requirements.
And this number is not always acceptable for newlyweds. Or perhaps you simply don’t like the sound of it, or other circumstances will immediately exclude it from the possible list.
Therefore, it is worth remembering that no signs, stars, or advice from complete strangers can play a fundamental role in the future scenario of family life.
Only true love, sincere feelings can lead a man and woman through all life’s difficulties, preserving both their face and warm relationships.
But it is still worth getting acquainted with the arguments of astrologers, as well as the advice of the church and people. After all, behind such arguments lies centuries-old wisdom.
Wedding calendar: which month is good for a wedding
Choosing a wedding date is a responsible matter. If you believe ancient customs and astrology, then you can only have a wedding in certain months of the year. Then love and happiness will not leave the married couple. Let's find out in more detail which month is suitable for a wedding, and which month will bring disappointment in marriage.
January
- unfavorable for a wedding. A woman married this month may remain a widow. According to other beliefs, January can bring illness to the husband.
February
considered the coldest, windiest and snowiest month of the year. However, such bad weather will only intensify the feelings between spouses. This is a good month for marriage. Harmony, understanding and love will always reign in the family. In addition, marriage can bring healthy children.
Favorable days for a wedding in July according to the folk calendar
July is also a hot time for various works. Agree, it is in July that work in fields and gardens, on construction sites and in other areas is in full swing. Therefore, the month justifiably received the name of the most hardworking one. And only the incredible heat could force us to pause and take a breath. But time does not wait, and a short respite is again followed by a new stage of work, which seems to have no end.
So it is in the family life of July couples. Their happiness and well-being will be directly proportional to the efforts they put in.
It will simply be full of constantly changing black and white stripes.
Therefore, times of enjoying shared happiness will be replaced by periods when the couple will have to work hard to overcome problems and get out of situations with minimal losses.
And only mutual understanding, respect for each other, support and mutual assistance will help not only resolve all complex issues, but also strengthen family relationships.
Since all nations valued hard work and patience, experienced people advised young people to get married in July. This month is simply intended to sweep away everything superficial, invented, and feigned in the family being created. But it will help those whose love is sincere to find happiness, and those who are in love are ready to go through fire and water for each other.
Therefore, those couples who doubt their decision should not sign in July. The same advice applies to marriages of convenience, fictitious and spontaneously created.
In addition, all lovers who decide to create a strong family are patronized by Saints Peter and Fevronya in July. A church and calendar holiday is dedicated to this unique couple, not equal in social status, but who managed to preserve their love until their death. The Day of Family, Love and Fidelity is celebrated on July 8th. It is on this day that many couples try to get married. There is simply a rush in the registry offices - the 8th is booked by young people almost a year in advance.
On this day, you can meet wedding processions rushing to bow to the monument to the patrons of the family, in the hope of finding the same unearthly love.
But how good is this day for painting? Indeed, in the folk calendar, many signs and advice are ambiguous.
Wedding in July: dates and tips
If you decide to get married immediately after the painting, you should choose a date that is permitted by the church. Therefore, the idea of scheduling a wedding on the beautiful July 8th is unlikely to be successful.
It is in July that Petrov's Fast falls, when weddings are not held. The end date of this long fast always falls on July 12, when Peter and Paul Day is celebrated. But it begins every year on different days, depending on the date of Easter. Quite rarely, the beginning of Petrov's fast falls on July dates. Therefore, the first decade of July completely falls out of the wedding church calendar.
But starting from July 13, you can safely choose a suitable date. Just keep in mind that the wedding ceremony is not performed on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
The most favorable days for a wedding will be Fridays and Sundays after the 13th.
Considering that there are only 4 such favorable days in July, sometimes 6, you will have to deal with the issue of choosing a church in advance. You need to talk with the priest about a convenient time for a certain date, and you will also have to clarify how many couples will be there on that day and the time to get married.
Often, due to the influx of applicants, churches organize the simultaneous wedding of several couples. This approach is not prohibited by church canons, but the ceremony itself loses its solemnity. Agree, a wedding is not just a beautiful ceremony, it is a sacrament of the union of two hearts. Therefore, it will be much better if such a ceremony is dedicated to only two people, and not to a series of people wishing to do so.

Features of preparing for a wedding in July
So, the decision has been made, the wedding date in July has been chosen.
But it turns out that there are so many people who want to join their destinies in the middle of summer that registry offices simply cannot cope with the influx. Therefore, all plans may simply collapse, since all suitable dates will already be booked.

If you don’t want to get married on Tuesday or rush to the registry office right when it opens, book the date as early as possible. And we are not talking about the expected month, but at least six months.
