What does it mean to dream about a wedding?
Wedding dreams can be joyful or anxious, your own wedding or someone else's. Here is what Miller wrote about weddings and marriage, quoted exactly.
What Miller wrote (1901)
To attend a wedding in your dream, you will speedily find that there is approaching you an occasion which will cause you bitterness and delayed success. … For her to dream her lover weds another, foretells that she will be distressed with needless fears, as her lover will faithfully carry out his promises.

To dream of seeing a marriage, denotes high enjoyment, if the wedding guests attend in pleasing colors and are happy; if they are dressed in black or other somber hues, there will be mourning and sorrow in store for the dreamer.

Your dream is not a dictionary entry
A dream about a wedding comes with a place, other people and a feeling, and the old books read the same image very differently depending on those details. Dreamlore takes your whole dream, spoken or typed, finds the passages that fit it in Miller and Freud, quotes them word for word, and leaves you one question to reflect on. The journal stays on your phone.

Questions
What does it mean to dream about a wedding?
Miller's 1901 dictionary reads attending a wedding as an occasion of bitterness and delay, and dreaming that a lover weds another as needless fears. In his entry on marriage, a wedding with happy guests in pleasing colors is read as high enjoyment. These are old readings to reflect on, not a verdict on your relationships.
Where do these quotes come from?
They are quoted verbatim from public-domain books: Gustavus Hindman Miller's Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted (1901). Each quote on this page is checked word for word against the source text before the page is served, the same check the Dreamlore app runs on every quote it shows.

Dreamlore and these pages are for reflection and curiosity. The books quoted here are old — Miller wrote in 1901 and his entries read as omens, and many of Freud's ideas are disputed today. Take them as a starting point for thinking about your own dream, not as prediction or advice.
