Answer: B) June.
June has been the most popular wedding month for centuries. One reason dates back to Roman times, when couples married in June to honor Juno, the goddess of marriage and familyâbelieved to bring good fortune to newlyweds. Today, the tradition continues thanks to warm weather, blooming flowers, and the start of summer celebrations. đ
