The belief that the day you get married is the best day of your life is not dead. And the best proof of that is never-ending stories of which some were already covered by Bored Panda. From bridezillas who want everything to be perfect and then messing up the whole thing to people celebrating long and successful marriages. But what happens in between saying “I do” and the day the marriage reaches its end? Marriage is full of customs and things that say “this is how it suppose to be”. Having this in mind, Reddit’s users started sharing their Shower Thoughts on matters such as wedding, marriage and relationship. The list includes statements that people rarely think of starting from a proposal: have you ever thought that proposing reminds you of begging and that this very important decision of life should not be put forward as a surprise? Or how the wedding means more to the happy couple than the marriage itself? These and many more thoughts crossed Reddit users minds. Do you have your own experiences to share? Don’t forget to leave it in the comments!

Because a tux can be used over and over and a dress will go out of style, but sell your dress, buy used, you can do these things.

This should never be a split-second decision, marriage should always be discussed before a proposal is made. If you are proposing to someone, you should already know what the answer will be.

Probably. My mother was told on the day of her wedding, happy the bride that the sun shines on, lucky the bride that it rains on. It did both on their wedding day. 65 years later still happy together.

Our wedding day was marked by a full-on freezing rain storm. Had to delay the wedding 2 hours to wait for various people to make it through to the church, and we had to scrape an inch and a half of frozen rain off the windshield before we could leave. We celebrate our 44th anniversary this fall.

Rain on your wedding day is good luck because when you get married you “tie the knot.” A wet knot is harder to untie then one that is not wet. Hence it’s good luck when it rains in your wedding.

I've read that having a rainy wedding is good luck because a "wet knot is harder to undo" - based on a very old saying of "tying the knot", meaning getting married. And tying the knot comes from a tradition of the officiant (pastor, priest, rabbi, what have you) looping a cord around the joined hands of the couple & literally tying a knot in the cord. If you ever tried to untie a knotted rope, you'll know. Especially one made of natural fibers!

yesbalso we say the more things go wrong at yoir wedding the happier the marriage. or that it rains the luck when it is raining. i guess it was invented to calm down the bride yes. but it also teaches that there are more important things than one big party
