Why can’t the bride’s wedding dress have pockets?
Marriage is a major event in life for everyone. From ancient times to the present, we have attached great importance to marriage, so there are many customs and taboos. For example, on the day of the child's wedding, the bride's parents are not allowed to cry, because crying will bring yin energy. But your child is about to leave home and go to someone else's home. How can you not be sad? In addition to the bride's natal family, there are also many taboos for the bride. One of the most particular ones is that there should be no pockets on the bride's clothes on the wedding day. The specific reasons are as follows.
1. Taking away the wealth of the natal family
In reality, except for a few exceptions, the vast majority of women marry into the man’s family and live with the man’s family. There is a saying that if the bride has pockets, she will take away her family's wealth. Although we all know how pitiful parents are, they all want their daughters to live a good life and wish they could bring all the family's wealth with them. But if there are elder brothers, sisters-in-law and other relatives in the family, the bride cannot be too selfish, so she wears clothes without pockets to keep the wealth in her family.
2. Bring Yin Qi to the husband’s home
In addition to carrying wealth, the bride’s pockets can also contain Yin Qi. The bride comes all the way from her natal home to her husband's house. For such a big day, all kinds of "lonely ghosts" will like to come and join in the fun. If the bride's clothes have pockets, they can go into the pockets and enter the husband's home. Brings negative energy to the husband's house. Also, if someone in the natal family cries, the negative energy from the natal family will be brought with them.
3. The bride has second thoughts
After the bride marries her husband and sets up a new family, it stands to reason that she should always consider her husband’s family. But if the bride's clothes have pockets, it will take away part of the feng shui from her natal family, which will cause an imbalance in the feng shui of the two families, and the bride will be more partial to her natal family. This is obviously unfair to the husband's family, and the husband will feel uncomfortable.
Although the bride is married, her natal family has always been her home, so she just needs to live a good life with her husband, and occasionally visit her parents at her natal home.
