Wedding Superstitions

Some examples of Wedding Superstitions are:

• Never choose a redhead as your bridesmaid as she will steal your groom. Likewise, wearing red to a wedding signals disrespect for the bride.
• Saturday is a bad day for getting married as it is ruled by Saturn, an unlucky planet associated with negative energies like jealousy .
• Never buy a wedding dress that was first set aside for a wedding that never actually happened as it is jinxed.
• Always make sure the sun is shining without clouds in the way; the clouds symbolize trouble.
• Before getting married, it is bad luck to buy your significant other a watch, as it symbolizes that the time of the relationship is running out.
• Rose petals are thrown before the bride as she walks down the aisle to ward off the evil spirits that live beneath the ground from coming up at her.
• Bridesmaids should not wash the dishes or they will fall out with the married couple.

True, these types of wedding superstitions may sound pretty "off the wall", but even if you're the kind of person who walks under ladders or laughs when a friend touches wood, you can bet that when it comes to your wedding day, you too will be clutching something old and donning something blue... and thats just for starters.

We guarantee that you wouldn't dream of seeing your fiance on the morning of the wedding, and you will definately expect to be carried across the threshold.
