In some communities, couples would choose Rosh Chodesh, the first day of the month (when it did not conflict with or other prohibited days), perhaps because the moon waxing in the sky was considered a symbol of growth and fertility. It is a Jewish custom that weddings can not occur during the Sabbath. The Shabbat starts on Friday evening immediately after sundown, and it ends one hour after sunset on Saturday evening. Tuesdays have been considered to enhance the wedding of Jewish.
