According to the almanac's auspicious and inauspicious days, marriage is listed as something to avoid. Therefore, getting married on the day of "Start of Autumn" in 2022 is not considered good.

1. The newlyweds should not eat wedding cakes

Wedding cakes are usually for guests to eat, and the bride and groom should not eat them, otherwise it means they are eating their own blessings. It is best to prepare some small snacks in advance to keep their energy up when they feel hungry.

2. Aunts and sisters-in-law should not accompany the wedding procession

The word "aunt" sounds like "lonely," and "sister-in-law" sounds like "sweep," both of which are considered unlucky words. Therefore, when choosing people to accompany the wedding procession, it's best not to include the bride's aunt or sister-in-law.

3. The items prepared on the day should be in even numbers

It is said, "Good things come in pairs." In such an important matter as marriage, where everything is pursued with good luck, it's worth following this tradition.

4. Do not step on the threshold of the house

When the newlyweds enter or leave the house, they should not step on the threshold; instead, they should step over it, to avoid bad luck.

5. Do not use a fan on the wedding day

The word "fan" sounds like "disband," and it is only used in summer. Once autumn comes, it will be put aside, implying a cold or distant relationship. So, no matter how hot it is on the wedding day, it's best not to use a fan.
