*****QOTD 10.16.10.*****

Good Morning!!! I am in a great mood! More people answered my post on which way to roll the toilet paper than my QOTD yesterday. lol No but really I am in a good mood and i hope everyone else is too .

Okay ladies lets talk Wedding Superstitions and traditions. I was reading an article last night about wedding superstitions.

Some I read were absurd

EX: “He will love you if you serve him one of these potions: a bowl of soup with three drop of your blood in it. a glass of lemonade that contains your fingernail filings or has had your toenail clippings soaked in it.” that has to be fake, am I a witch?!? No offense to anyone who has done this!

And others were horrible to think about (personal opinion)!!!! Ex: The spouse who goes to sleep first on the wedding night will die first. Or its good luck if there is a spider in your dress!!! uggh

Upon doing more research (yep I am a loser) I found a lot of contradicting ones like whether it is good or bad luck for it to rain on your wedding day and which way the hands on the clock should be facing when you say your vows.

There are also fun and family traditions superstitions. Like Something old, new, borrowed, blue, sixpence. Not letting the groom see your dress, or saving the top layer of your cake for your 1st anniversary ect.

So my Question is



What superstitions/traditions do you believe in or are you taking part in?

Post other superstitions have you heard of?




Enjoy your day girls!!!

I haven’t done too many traditional things and it drives my family nuts:
FH has seen me in my dress (if there it could have been avoided I would have but it couldn’t.)
FH and I are also seeing each other before the wedding.
I have let one of my friends try on my ring the superstition is “You're not supposed to let any other woman try on your engagement ring because she will be the woman who steals your fiancé.” I think she started talking a guy I was with before FH though. So maybe there is some sort of truth in there. Hopefully i dont have any bad luck and everything run smoothly.
We’re not doing a bo-k toss or garter.
And I don’t know if we will save our wedding cake.


But I am doing something old ect.
Maybe the carrying of the bride over the threshold depends how much FH has had to drink
I’m not going to walk down the aisle at the rehearsal.
And I won’t be wearing my “entire” attire until the big day.

I sorta dont want him to see my dress until the wedding day.

Ive heard the rain thing too but think its bc someone decided to try a cheer a bride up years ago by telling her that lol. Either way, it could produce some cute pics w umbrellas and rain boots.

We're not spending the night before together, and not seeing each other the day of till I walk down the aisle. Also, I will have all the traditional items for the something old, new, borrowed and blue. I will also be wearing a blusher, idk if this is superstitious or not lol. I'm basically going to be very traditional.

same here! We're pretty traditional...
will prob do bo-K/garter toss
FH will not see my dress (if i ever get one) and he doesn't even want to see it
we won't see each other before the ceremony
we'll prob save our cake and eat it a year later

i agree with amy about the rain - i think someone just says that to cheer you up if it does rain

but i have let other girls try on my ring - hope they dont try to steal fh!
