June is the most popular month for weddings. Have you ever wondered why?
The goddess Juno (for whom the month of June is named) was the protector of women in all aspects of life, but particularly so for marriage and childbearing. To be married in June was therefore considered to be particularly lucky and a forebearer of good luck and good fortune.
