In June, two dates with unusual numerical combinations seemed to be the most interesting for the newlyweds — 06.06.2026 and 26.06.2026. The very first summer weekend will kick off the hot wedding season. About 180 weddings are expected in the southeastern region on Saturday, June 6, of which about 80 are in Gomel. And on Friday, June 26, the Mendelssohn March will be performed for 165 couples, while 83 new families will appear in the regional center at once.

In addition, the number of on-site marriage registrations increases many times in the summer. «More than 25 of them will take place in picturesque places in nature, country estates, city parks, art galleries and palaces. Summer weddings promise to be soulful and intimate, with beautiful decor and personal touching details. For example, at one of the exit ceremonies, a pet will take out rings to the newlyweds. Another emotional event is planned in Teryukha, where twin brother and sister families will be created at the same time. And three more couples with solid marriage experience will say „yes“ to each other again, celebrating the golden and silver anniversaries of married life,» the main Department of Justice said.

By the way, wedding statistics from the last month of spring confirm that residents of the region believe in folk signs and are reluctant to marry in May. On average, the number of weddings in the regional center ranges from 100 to 150 per month. So, on the last Saturday of May, only 21 couples were married throughout the Gomel region. The Main Department of Justice recalled that in the old days, May was considered the month of field work, and food supplies were running low in the fall. Hence the proverb that has become a superstition: to get married in May means to spend your whole life worrying.
