Why is June considered a month for weddings?
Well, to find an answer we need to go back over 2,000 years to the Roman times when the celebrated a festival to honor the deity of Juno, the wife of Jupiter and goddess of marriage and childbirth. During the 1400′s and 1500′s June was considered the time when people emerged from the long winter and bathed communally. Perhaps people figured it was okay to be married after they were cleaned from their bathing? Another insight into this time is the use of flowers at weddings…many feel flowers were added to ceremonies so their beautiful smell would mask body odors!
June weddings also come from the Celtic calendar. The word “honeymoon” has a historical origin and refers to the first moon after the summer solstice, June 21, which was called “honey moon.”
Spring weddings were also considered practical since the fall harvest was a busy time for families. Lots of reasons for June weddings flowed through the centuries. Now, all 12 months are great months in which to be married, especially in beautiful Lake Tahoe.
Did you know that weddings were not always the beautiful and romantic thing they are today? They were business contracts between the fathers of the bride and groom since girls were considered the property of their fathers.
