Wedding superstitions

February 28th, 2009

A Wedding is a special day, there are many customs and superstitions that are associated with weddings. Historically a wedding was seen as a time when people were particularly susceptable to evil spirits and bad luck. Many originated or are modifications of customs that began hundreds of years ago.

Several of these, such as the bride wearing something old, something blue, or not being seen by the groom in her wedding dress before the start of the ceremony are well known throughout the country and many other parts of the world. Some other superstitions might be regional or even maintained within families from generation to generation.These could well be maintained in the belief they bring good luck and happiness to the couple at a time when their lives are changing, hopefully for the better.
