Planning a wedding around fishing
Read this on my desk calendar yesterday.
When To Get Married
According to superstition, pick a date when the moon is waxing (increasing in size) and an hour when the tide is rising.
Be sure to time the wedding ceremony so that it ends in the second half of the hour, when the minute hand is rising on the face of the clock.
Don’t schedule the wedding for early in the morning. That will bring
bad luck.
Now you have to research the date and time you got married. Some moon phase web sites let you search past dates. For those of you fishermen yet to be married – take heed. If your future spouse pushes to get married during the down side of the full moon - you have a great excuse to put it off.
I checked my anniversary: I have the right moon phase... but wrong tide. I'm not the perfect husband - maybe because of the tide. But we’re still happily married.
