Setting a wedding date doesn't just entail choosing for sentimental reasons. There are couples who consult Chinese horoscope as a way of determining the most auspicious date for their union. Finding an auspicious date usually means consulting an expert, as there are many factors that need be considered to determine the lucky dates for marriage.
In Laura Lau and Theodora Lau's book, Wedding Feng Shui: The Chinese Horoscope Guide to Planning Your Wedding, brides are given an extensive guide on harmoniously incorporating Chinese horoscope to one's wedding. Through Chinese horoscope, the authors shed light on the relationships concerning the bride-to-be, Chinese traditions, and the symbolisms in Chinese horoscope. The book helps a bride work around what she has through the course of wedding planning, and makes sure that everything goes well before, during, and after the wedding. It goes beyond giving a simple list of auspicious dates, but rather, provides a comprehensive wedding guide rooted in Feng Shui.
The book is quite unusual as it ties Eastern and Western horoscope to determine your character as you take on the role of a bride-to-be. It is generous in charts and tables that show how the lunar years, Western zodiac signs, and natural elements all tie together in determining your personality as a bride. It lists down each sign's strengths that can be utilized to make planning easier for you. It also shares the traits that you should be wary of when dealing with people who are helping out with the wedding, like your bridesmaids and in-laws. Each Chinese Zodiac sign also corresponds to a particular bride personality like Strategist, Initiator, and Visionary, among others.
Aside from helping you realize your personality as a bride, the book also discusses what may be expected from your marital relationship based on the lunar years you and your hubby were born in. It also gives a guide on which themes, color combinations, and personalities that will work best for your wedding based on your zodiac signs. With this handy feng shui guide, choosing a date, color, motif, location, and entourage members should help facilitate a harmonious journey to your happily ever after.
