Weddings are full of traditions and superstitions that couples often follow leading up to their big day. From the famous “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue” to the bouquet toss and putting a sixpence in your shoe, there are many beliefs that are believed to bring good luck and happiness to the newlyweds. But have you heard of the latest wedding superstition that is taking over TikTok? It involves planting a sausage the night before the wedding to ensure good weather.
The trend was started by Meg, a popular wedding content creator on TikTok, who goes by the username @loveunfiltered_content. She shared a video of a bride burying an uncooked sausage in her backyard with her friends cheering her on. According to Meg, this tradition is believed to keep the rain away on the wedding day and bring beautiful sunny weather. And sure enough, the next day, the sun was shining and the wedding looked absolutely stunning.
Many people were intrigued by this unique tradition and took to the comments to express their thoughts. Some had never heard of this superstition before, while others were wondering if there was a similar one that could help them find a husband. But those who had tried it themselves claimed that it had worked for them, and it didn't matter who actually buried the sausage.
People from different countries also shared their own weather superstitions, such as placing a Child of Prague Statue outside in Ireland or bringing eggs to a church in Belgium. In the Philippines, they even bury an egg instead of a sausage for good weather. It's amazing how different cultures have their own unique traditions to ensure a perfect wedding day.
But where did this “bury a sausage” tradition come from? It is believed to have originated in the UK and is most popular in northern parts of England and Scotland. However, its exact origins remain a mystery. Alison Hargreaves, a wedding industry expert, explains that while it may seem strange, following traditions like this can bring a sense of comfort and control to couples on their special day. And if it doesn't harm anyone, why not give it a try?
But why would anyone want to encourage rain on their wedding day? Well, in the past, rain was considered good luck as it symbolized fertility and new beginnings. It was believed that a bride would get pregnant shortly after the wedding if there was rain on her special day. However, in modern times, couples are not too keen on having wet weather on their wedding day. Hence, the tradition of burying a sausage to bring out the sun.
In the end, no matter what traditions or superstitions a couple follows, the most important thing is to have a beautiful and memorable wedding day. And while some may scoff at the idea of burying a sausage for good weather, it's all about having fun and making the day extra special. After all, as Alison Hargreaves says, there are some things we can't control, and the weather is one of them. So why not add a little bit of magic and try the sausage tradition? Who knows, it might just work!
