If you want to know who it will by your side on your wedding day, this it the way!!!
On the night before June 24 th (which is a special day, we call it "Johns mass"), you should go out and pick 9 sorts of flowers (one of each). From the moment you pick the first one, you must not speak to anyone untill the next morning. After you pick all 9 sorts, go home, put the litle buqet under your pillow - remember, don´t say a word! - And you "will" dream the one you will marry!!!
We Icelanders have a lot of supersticions, and I have been doing this since I was 10 years old, so this will be the twenty-forth time!!!.
Once I heard that the flowers should be wild, so I always go to this place with a lot of wild flowers, and pick one of my 9 most favorite ones.
This is of course very easy here, since it´s bright at night, and when I lived in Scotland it was bright as well, and once when I was in Norway on that day, but when I lived in Germany, this was kindof hard. Luckily I had taken a walk on the day, to find suitable flowers (could not pick them wild there), because when I went to pick them, I couldn´t see anything, so luckily I knew were "my" flowers were!
I have decited to do this untill I am in deed maried, so even though I have an s/o, I´m picking flowers!!!
OH, and I can never remeber my dream the next day! But this is fun, that´s why I do it!
Oh, one more. I heard that the first thing someone says to you on the 24 th, is very significant about the one you will marry, i.e. if you´re gonna sit down on a chair and someone warns your and says "careful, it´s faulty" - then you better watch out and choose your man carefully!
