Wedding
A wedding symbolizes new contracts, unions and life transitions. Dreaming of your own wedding means an important promise or partnership approaches.
A wedding is where two people have a decision they already made confirmed in front of everyone. Tradition mostly read weddings favorably because they are feasts, though an old strand of interpretation pairs weddings with funerals, so the reading shifts with the situation. Whether you are the one marrying or a guest, and whether the ceremony went smoothly, both matter.
Readings by Situation
Holding your own wedding
It surfaces before new beginnings and large decisions. For the unmarried it reflects a wish about a bond; for the married, a decision that ties you down — new work, a contract. A smooth ceremony reads as that decision going well.
Attending a wedding as a guest
It points to good news around you or a change in a relationship. It is read as hearing from someone you know, and a generous feast means some of that good fortune is shared with you.
A ceremony that goes wrong, or a bride or groom who never arrives
A sign that your mind is not fully made up before a decision. Less an ill omen than a note that something remains to be checked — a good time to reread the terms of a contract or a promise.
Watching the wedding of someone who has passed away
This is where the old pairing of wedding and funeral comes from. Today it is usually a scene made by longing, so take it as a cue to tend to your feelings rather than as something ominous.
Wedding dreams rarely foretell an actual marriage; more often they mirror the mind before a decision that binds you. Take it lightly.
