This paper deals with the seasonal character of nuptiality in the Czech lands with an accent on the month of May which shows, especially after the World War II, the lowermost values. It is usually connected with the superstition that the “May wedding implies an early death of one of the partners”. This superstition is known already from the period of the Roman wars, however, it had no continual influence on frequency of the May weddings in the Czech lands. As the demographic studies show, the May minimums started to be clear as late as the second half of the 1920s. The author also follows the superstition as a proverb in some Czech paremiological collections created since the19th century.
