00:00But why do we say, rainy wedding, happy wedding?
00:03This expression finds its origin in the 20th century and is therefore not very old.
00:08It implies a form of superstition, a union of spouses under the rain would be a good sign.
00:13The most common interpretation is that the wedding will be fertile,
00:17the rain being a symbol of fertility.
00:20The dictum of the rainy wedding is therefore based on the fact of having children.
