Every weekend of the year people are getting married, but what is it about June weddings? It is not only because the weather is getting warmer. Did you realize that there was a history behind bride and grooms choosing June to wed? It actually dates back to Roman times, the month of June is named after Juno, the Goddess of Marriage.
A great musical from the 1950s, "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers", watched by little girls at their Nana's house while dreaming of their Big Day. This YouTube clip is a song "June Bride" from the musical, perhaps if you are June Bride you can walk down the aisle to it?
Another fun tidbit about June - the first moon after the summer solstice is called the "Honey Moon", it is the season to harvest herbs and honey, in Roman times they would eat honey for a month after the wedding for health and belief of lengthening life. If you're having a June wedding maybe you can give honey inspired favors in honor of this ancient tradition. Check out these sweet options:
