wedding taboo

[mandymandy]

Hi all,

my parents told me not to attend any wedding 3 months before and after mine. however, does it apply to solemnisation as well? or only for customary?

[Sher]

i think customary only, i have that same rule as well

It's just customary. I guess you should just follow it. there's nothing wrong in believing in such tradition.

If you want to be strict, it's both. But we are in a modern era and IMO these need not be followed. However, if you are concerned about how your parents feel, better to clarify with them...

we followed it for our wedding. though, we're really thankful that none of our friends and relatives decided to get married a couple of months before our actual wedding day.

Thanks for the info~!

We followed it too. My mother and mil really believed in it so we followed it.

i agree with you. i guess it won't harm if you practice or do it too.
