Other Considerations:
2025 is a "Double Spring and Leap Month" year, which is considered a favorable year for marriage. "Double Spring" means there are two 立春 (Beginning of Spring) in the year. With the addition of a闰六月 (leap June), it is said to be "喜上加喜" (double happiness), which signifies a harmonious and loving marriage.
Since 2025 is the Year of the Snake (本命年), some traditions suggest it may be a year of fluctuations. However, modern perspectives emphasize that marriage is a decision based on love and shared goals. If the couple is deeply in love and ready for marriage, getting married in the Year of the Snake is perfectly acceptable.
To counteract any potential negative influences of the 本命年, consider wearing red clothing and accessories, or wearing饰品 (ornaments) that align with your zodiac sign, such as those in the shape of a Rooster, Ox, or Monkey.
It's also important to select a wedding date that complements the couple's birthdates and to ensure that the individuals involved in decorating the wedding room have compatible birthdates with the couple and the wedding date.
