Revealed: Strange Wedding and Engagement Superstitions

What a Difference a Day Makes

The English also had ideas about which days were good ones to get married and which ones should be avoided. Saturday was a day that was supposed to be avoided at all costs, as it was considered to be the unluckiest wedding day. Today, however, people do not seem to have a problem getting married on Saturdays—in fact, it is the most popular day of the week to get married!

The English considered Wednesday to be the best day of the week to get married, although modern brides would probably have trouble getting guests to come to a wedding in the middle of the week. Monday was considered a good day to get married for wealth, and Tuesday was a good day to get married for health.
