Many couples getting married are very excited about this big day. Some fortunate ones may have family members or elders to pave their way. Some may have to be very busy with preparations. All but most important, they should never forget that the "date" is the most important of all.
There are many couples who are not so particular with dates ended up not having a smooth marriage. Some choose using their lucky numbers, some follow popular dates like valentine's day, some use their meeting or birth dates, while some grab a Tong Shu and look for auspicious dates. Why is date so important? A wedding day is where the 2 individuals commit to a certain long term path. Both bazi will definitely have effects on each other. This date/time not only binds and symbolises a "contract/ agreement", it also boost auspiciousness if the date is selected correctly that suits both parties.
It is often observed that couples carelessly or ignorantly falls prey to date selectors who are amateurs. First of all, it is absurd to consult a date selector who himself/herself is not even married or is a divorcee/religious devotee (some cases).
Secondly, a proper date cannot just base on zodiac matching, which is the year of birth. Thus it is ridiculous to get a selected date or approval of dates suitable for wedding base on only the year of birth or only up to date of birth of the couple.
*Some of you may have heard of clash year cannot get married. Many date selectors also dare not anyhow issue a marriage date. If for example, the groom to be is a rat and what happens in a horse year? Skip? Good but goat year is also another clash! So how? Let your bride wait 2 years?? A good master or date selector (if require by groom urgently) will always be able to find a good date within a clash year.
A wedding date has only one 'print ' in a lifetime. You should take all the time to be very prudent in selection.
Having a wrong wedding date? If lucky, you'll have hiccups during initial walk. If unlucky, the bad effects can be everlasting until the annulment of the initial date.
There are also many methods to use for good marriage dates selection, some of which are:
斗首择日,玄空择日,纳音择日等
Irregardless of religion, race or culture, wedding date is very important.
Different cultures practise different marriage procedures but date selection is universal.
Having an auspicious date doesn't mean always forever living happily ever after, guaranteed. It all depends on both the bazi of the couple. However, it does buffer if bazi is bad and further enhance if bazi is good.
A wise couple will check thoroughly if the wedding date given to them is 'that' good. It is worth every minute getting the correct one.
