Folk meaning
Folk tradition reads wedding dreams in different ways: some families say your own wedding foretells a change or unexpected news, while attending someone else's wedding means joy and a happy gathering. A white dress traditionally means purity and a new beginning.
Psychological meaning
Psychologists see a wedding as a symbol of commitment and decision. You may be ready to take a project or relationship seriously. If you were nervous at the wedding, it may reflect a fear of responsibility.

Whose wedding it was and how it went tells you a lot.
- Your wedding: a new stage or an important decision.

- Your ex's wedding: saying goodbye to the past.
- A cancelled wedding: a doubt you have not resolved yet.
What to ask yourself
What commitment are you making or planning? Which two worlds are you joining right now: work and family, dream and reality? Remember whether you felt joy or anxiety.
