In the lunar calendar, Qingming Festival (4th April), Ghost Festival (the 14th and 15th of the seventh lunar month), and Cold Clothes Festival (the first day of the tenth lunar month) are considered unlucky days to have weddings. It’s because these festivals are related to death, so you should definitively avoid choosing these dates for your big day. - Any dates that contain “4”:
This is because the pronunciation of “4” in Chinese is “sì”, which is very similar to “sî” (death). In Chinese culture, death is always regarded as a negative thing and should be avoided. - Birthdays and anniversaries of the death of the wedding couple’s parents:
The reason behind this is pretty simple: it’s your parents’ big day, you shouldn’t make it yours. Instead of asking them to show up on your wedding and celebrate for you, you’re supposed to be there for them. The aim is to show your love and devotion to them.
