In May

May is one of the seven months of the year with 31 days. While the month was named for Maia, the Greek goddess of fertility, there was once a superstition saying May was an unlucky month to get married.

The Roman goddess, Juno, is the likely source of the name June. Juno presided over every aspect of a woman’s life and is known as the goddess of marriage, so, perhaps it’s not a surprise that June is a popular month for weddings.

In August

After many name changes, the eighth month of the year was named August after the Roman Emperor Augustus in 8 BC. August is the last full month of summer and, in a standard year, there is no other month that starts on the same day of the week as August. In a Leap Year, it starts on the same day as February.

July

The Roman dictator Julius Caesar made one of his greatest contributions to history, with the help of Sosigenes. He developed the Julian calendar, the precursor to the Gregorian calendar we use today, according to Almanac.com. After his death in 44 B.C., the month was named for him. The early days of July are often called the “dog days of summer” — the beginning of the warmest days of the season.
