Superstitions?

I heard that for each bow you break when opening wedding gifts is the number of children you will have

Future Mrs..Wonder what it means if you have little pearl pieces on your wedding gown. lol...

Breaking bows? Let me at them with scissors! I will break every one of them! LOL sorry. I've wanted children since I was one myself and there is a history of difficulty getting pregnant in my family plus I am being told to wait 4 or 5 years at least. So the baby urge is getting overwhelming!

All I have heard is that it is bad luck to see each other before the wedding. And that the sun shines on a happy bride or something? And June weddings mean a blissful marriage

And rain on the day of is lucky

I heard that if you get married on the hour, your marriage will go down from there, whereas if you get married on the half hour, it will go up (like the minute hand on the clock).

I suppose this means it's a good thing that although we were supposed to get married at noon, it was actually 12:30 due to the hair and make-up person being late?

Lol, I saw on a tv show that a woman put brooms (yes brooms) in trees to ward off rain.....I think she ended up having a rain free day! lol

I have heard the one about if you see each other before the wedding, your marriage is going to be rocky ... I've heard rain is good luck ... and yes I've heard one about the bows ... I will be very careful to not break a single bow then ... LOL We are still on the fence about children ... so yeah ...

@ 2d I've heard that too! I was talking about having our ceremony at 1:00 and my mom told me that, so now we're probably going to go for 1:30

@ julybride16 I saw that too! I was wondering what she was doing that for at first! I wonder if it actually works? I've also heard that putting rosary beads on a clothing line it's supposed to make it stop raining.

@ RachInCali I'm not sure! But all my jewelry is pearls.. even my tiara has pearls in it! So I'm hoping the not crying one is right!

@ Torie C. I've never heard that one! I'll be sure to only break 2! lol

I've heard that if you tie a blue shirt in a tree, it will keep the rain away... but rain on your wedding day is good luck! julybride16.. I saw that show too.. the bride drove me NUTS! lol

I think the not seeing each other before the wedding is the most common one! And it's one that my mom's going to make me follow lol

@ Michelle I've heard rain is good luck too! just not too much, especially if your wedding is outside! lol

Haha so I had it backwards then. RAIN is good luck. I knew rain was good at a funeral, but I didn't realize at a wedding it was too

In my country people believe that if you get married in the month that has a letter "r" in it (i.e April) you will have long and happy marriedge.

The best time to get married is during Holiday time, easter or Cranival.

The worst is during lant in May and in November.

If your edding is:

on Monday it will bring you health

Tuesday - wealth

Wednesday - the best day

Thursday - toll

Friday - suffering

Saturday - 50/50

You should wear:

something white - purity of feelings

blue - to prevent from dislayalty and cheating

new - for wealth

old - support from family and friends

borrowed - for kindness of your new family

If you wear pink it may bring you bad luck.

FH can not see you wearing your wedding dress before your wedding. No other girl should try your dress on (they may never get married).

The bride shouldn't sew her dress herself. Keep a penny in your purse for money in your marriedge. Your singlr BM should help you put the veil on.

I've heard of the days before but not the months! I've also heard the things for something old, something new.. and so on lol. The dress one is interesting! Not that I'd let someone else try my dress on anyways! lol And I've always heard a silver sixpence in your shoe for wealth!

Good Luck~

On The Way to The Ceremony..

~ It is good luck for the bride to encounter a Lamb on her way to the church to get married.

Start walking dawn the isle with your right leg and don't forget to smile!

If the bride cries during the ceremony she will never cry because of her husband.

If the wedding band falls on the flore somebudy else should pick them up.

Kiss after the ceremony is a sign of faithfulness.

Guests throw rice so the couple never lacks anything they need.

The groom should carry the bride thrue the door of reception hall to give her light and stress free life.
